The purpose of this research study is to determine if age is a determining factor in participation levels of youth in entry-level speed skating programs. The investigation of ice rink facilities' management strategies and the administration of surveys to elementary and middle school skating participants make this study both a qualitative and quantitative research effort. The survey data collected represents the quantitative portion of the study. The data suggest that age of recruitment is not a determining factor in the participation levels of youth under the age of fifteen. The qualitative interview data collected from ice rink management suggest that youth development is either not a focus of operations or that widely-used methods in the field of after-school sports programming have not been adequately adopted to enhance the success of the programs. This study gathers a wide variety of information about speed skating, rink management, facilities management, and youth activities programming. The study can aid the various rink facilities (short track and long track oval), US Speedskating, and the United States Olympic Committee who may use this information to further their goal of fostering the Olympic aspirations of underrepresented groups such as minorities and inner city youth. The author offers suggestions for further research in areas identified as critical to future program success.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .J3 2008 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
