| مستخلص: | Over the course of the past thirty years, single sport specialization for younger athletes has been rising. The purpose of this action research study was to determine the negative impact of travel/club sport participation on high school athletic participation. Utilizing a state and national participation reports, a survey to coaches, interviews with parents, coaches, and athletes, and a focus group with parents, the overall result expressed that while some athletes may have a single sport focus, the overall rates of participation in high schools are rising because other high school students are filling the rosters. Throughout the research it was noted that single sport specialization has adverse medical effects with the realm of physical, mental, and emotional injuries. Moreover, there is a significant financial burden for families when engaging in any level of travel or club sport. The final determination within the action research was that parents interested in athletic participation are not educated or informed of the benefits, risks, and challenges presented by athletic participation until they are involved within a sport or sports. Thus, it was necessary to determine not only research-based learning methods for adults but also the most appropriate time frame to offer information and education to parents. Utilizing a small group presentation format as well as relative sports starting ages, the most effective time was to offer information to parents with children as young as six but not limit to any age. The result at the conclusion of the action research determined that willing parents acquired knowledge within a small group setting with appropriate field level experts. Furthermore, parents acknowledged the need for experts due to most of their knowledge of youth athletics stemming from either coaches or neighbors.
