AB [EN] The purpose of our study was to identify the main reasons for dropout in young soccer players and tocompare withdrawal motives to those rated important by participants in other team sports. Dropouts (150males and 159 females, ranging in age from 14 to 18 years) were administered the Questionnaire of Reasonsfor Attrition by Gould, Feltz, Horn and Weiss (1982). Represented were youth who participated inthe sport of soccer (n=127), basketball (n=122), and volleyball (n=60). The most important reasons forattrition from the different team sports were having other things to do, dislike of the coach, and lack ofteam spirit. Reasons related to the team work were also given high ratings. Less important reasons concernedold age, rewards and competition. Although discriminant analysis revealed some differences betweensports, the finding remains that both conflict of interests and aspects of the sports environment aremajor motives for withdrawal from team sports.
