From cooperative education to children's cooperative-competitive sport

Abstract

Cooperative Education must necessarily exist between the coach or physical education teacher, the parents or family referents and the athletic children; for an adequate sportsmanship of their children, especially between 5 and 14 years of age, since this is the formative stage of most individual and collective sports. We propose to educate parents, coaches and athletes towards the achievement of an aptitude and cooperative-competitive attitude, in these early stages of training of athletes. For us it is a sine qua non necessity, to achieve adequate behaviors of the primary sport actors, as the first and most important sport result in the training stage.
