ジュニア期のスポーツ選手の親が指導者とチームの親達に望むこと、望まないこと

―応援席ハラスメントと指導者ハラスメントの視点から―

抄録

There are various types of harassments in children’s sports, including corporal punishment by coaches. Not only coaches but also cheering groups, especially bystanders of cheering groups, are important factors in harassment. The authors focused on psychological harassment by parents of team members, which is known as “bench- harassment” and investigated what parents expect or do not expect from coaches and parents of other team members（cheering groups）to identify conditions of sports harassment and improve the sports environment. A survey was conducted with parents（ N=112）with children enrolled in elementary school and junior high school attending a private basketball club in the Kanto area. The results indicated that parents expected coaches to provide “concrete advice and welldesigned training” as well as “mental support.” On the other hand, they expected coaches to avoid “violence or violent language” or provide “low-quality training.” They expected parents of other team members to provide “support for the smooth operation of the team” and “mental support,” and avoid “attitudes inappropriate for adults” or “negative attitudes or behaviors.” The child-centered sports environment was examined from the perspective of children’s rights and sports principles based on the above results.
