Abstract
The world is home for 1.2 billion individuals aged between 10-19 years who have lived most of their lives under United Nations the Millennium Declaration, which has sought 2000 has sought a better world for all. In this context, parental involvement in sport for development can be looked at as a continuum ranging from not being involved at all, to over involved; from low to high, and from positive to negative. Positive parental involvement includes supporting a child through ways such as verbal encouragement, presence at a game and allowing a child to make his/her own mistakes. Negative behaviour involves directive behaviour and pressure to win and perform up to parent’s expectations.
