“…Cela atteste que le rapport à l'institution n'est pas en cause dans la diminution des effectifs de sportifs du collège au lycée puisque les mêmes pourcentages de sportifs institutionnels et hors structures caractérisent nos deux populations. L'hypothèse selon laquelle le temps consacré à la pratique sportive souffre de la charge de travail extra-scolaire a également été invalidée : les plus sportifs sont également ceux qui consacrent le plus de temps aux devoirs scolaires (Waser et Passavant, 1997).

“…Extra-curricular school athletics make up only a small part of the broader context of sporting activities that contribute to adolescent development (Cooper, Valentine, Nye, and Lindsay 1999). Thus there is a need to address children's participation in organized sport outside the context of the publicly funded school system (Waser and Passavant 1997), and to investigate the effects of social differentiation and social inequality within the community, to gain a better understanding of children's sport participation in Canada. Adler and Adler (1994) argued that children's unstructured sport involvement is also important in understanding children's development and growth.…”
