PERCEPTIONS OF CHILDREN, YOUNG PEOPLE AND COACHES OF CLUB GRAMA DEPORTES DE IBAGUÉ ON EDUCATION IN VALUES IN GRADE FOOTBALL

Abstract

Sport is used to foster positive attitudes and behaviors, to transmit groups of camaraderie, respect, values ​​and sportsmanship, but unrewarding and pleasant situations are also observed in the environment of efforts that can affect the child's comprehensive education. Children's football often imitates professional football, a situation that has led many coaches, parents, spectators, managers, children and young people to reproduce attitudes of professional football more than educational and training football. Thus, the main objective of the study was to evaluate the perceptions that underlie children, youth and coaches of the Club Grama Deportes de Ibagué about education in values ​​in grassroots football. For this, an investigation was carried out with a quantitative approach, of a descriptive type. Two surveys were designed and validated, which were applied to 128 children and adolescents between the ages of 7 and 16, from the pre-baby, baby, pre-infant, infant, pre-juvenile and youth categories, and 5 coaches aged between the 26 and 53 years. The results revealed that training in values ​​should be strengthened, taking into account that fair play should be structured on a solid training in these groups. Likewise, from the perception of children, youth and coaches, it can be inferred that there is no policy on values ​​in the Grama Deportes Soccer School. Given the above, it is recommended to design a program to update and qualify your coaches, in such a way that comprehensive training is guaranteed.
