The adult environment puts efforts end illusions on school sport as an extracurricular activity for the child to promote their education. There are numerous proposals for trying to establish guidelines to family behavior. However, this study wants to understand the familiar illusions that encourage the participation in under 7s football of their children as primarily responsible for their education. In this way, the aim of the study is to investigate the family motivations for school football to revalue the confluences of its educational value. The research emerges from a Case Study design ethnographic mode that uses the questionnaire (N=134, 63 women and 71 men) to deepen of the perception of family members involved in school football: parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters. The results reaffirm the social function that the football has for the child and the adults that accompany them. Family involvement stands as an indispensable pillar for the sport activity. Thus, to optimize the educational potential is necessary to have the complicity of the family to reclaim the educational reference against the permeability of football business. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0003-2380-8662 Arraiz Pérez, Ana Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5639-8973 Sabirón Sierra, Fernando Universidad de Zaragoza 4001 625 Universidad de Zaragoza Departamento de Ciencias de la Educación Métodos de Investigación y Diagnóstico en Educ. 2, 1 (2016), 58-76 Sportis (A Coruña) Sportis (A Coruña) 2386-8333 283851 http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/61555/files/texto_completo.pdf Versión publicada 85690 http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/61555/files/texto_completo.jpg?subformat=icon icon Versión publicada oai:zaguan.unizar.es:61555 articulos driver 2017-06-20-14:55:41 ARTICLE
