This unit of work using Buroinjin, an Australian Aboriginal traditional game, was taught to two Year 5 classes (49 students in total aged 10–11 years) at a government school in Australia’s capital city, Canberra. Following unit completion, a qualitative research design was adopted to answer our research question: To what extent do Year 5 students experience basic psychological need satisfaction by playing Buroinjin taught using a GSA? Four semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from 26 of the original students who were taught the unit. Findings suggest the unit was effective in satisfying the participants’ SDT basic needs of autonomy, competence and relatedness.

The survey assessed characteristics of particpating children and parents, parental attitudes to competition, parenting practices, parental emotional and behaviours reactions to parenting situations in junior sport (before, during and after sport). The report provided a summary of survey findings and implications for the NRL.

Our review shows that there is no integrated study by combining all these factors. We are conducting an international web based survey to evaluate the significance of all these factors and present them in a unified manner. We believe this investigation will contribute positively towards holistic manag...

The research questions were: What are the A-grade UBA coaches’ works? What are the suggestions from A-grade UBA coaches? Adopting Rynne & Mallett (2012) revision from MacLean & Chelladurai (1995) behavioural process factors of dimensions of coach performance as research framework, the study applied interviews, fieldwork investigation and related document collection. We selected six A-grade UBA coaches from various backgrounds (coach positions and public/private university). This study concluded with four main issues including built-up of team style, player recruitment, promotion system, and coaches’ certificate. The findings indicated that UBA expressed concern towards student enrollment policy, appropriate promotion system for coaches, and the relatedness between coaches’ certificate and job vacancy; further, coaches provided valuable c...

First, data are collected using an instrument such as the Coaching Behavior Scale for Sport (CBS-S: Côté, Yardley, Hay, Sedgwick, & Baker, 1999). Second, a summary report is prepared with descriptive information regarding the frequency of behaviors demonstrated by the coach that can be compared to previous results or to a criterion measure. The third step involves appropriate personnel reviewing the report and subsequently providing guidance for individual coach development. This three-step appraisal method provides useful evaluative feedback to coaches and has been used in several sport programs in Canada, the United States, and Australia.
