ABSTRACT:
The purpose was to investigate and describe the attitudes of four groups of soccer coaches towards the laws of soccer. A questionnaire which utilized hypothetical games situations was adapted and administered to 38 coaches during personal interviews. A Likert-type scale was utilized and analysis of variance employed to determine any significant differences between groups. Soccer coaches did not profess an absolute commitment towards keeping the laws of soccer. There were no significant differences between the groups of coaches on the factors "thoughness," and "emotional outburst and eye to eye." However, there was evidence to suggest that senior men's amateur coaches were more likely to break the laws in the interest of their team's victory than secondary school head coaches. Compares the attitudes towards playing by the rules of soccer of four distinct groups of coaches (N=38). Collects data during personally conducted interviews using a questionnaire. Finds that soccer coaches do not profess absolute commitment to the laws of the game of soccer. Evidence suggests that senior men's amateur coaches are more likely to break the laws in the interest of their team's victory than secondary school head coaches. The laws of soccer do not determine the criteria of what is right. The game officials, except in instances of violent conduct, are given the authority to determine right conduct in soccer.
