Esporte no contexto escolar: organização do espaço e tempo extracurricular

Abstract

Schools have assumed the sports phenomenon in extracurricular programs as a possibility for appropriating culture and expanding social relations, cognitive learning, health, etc. However, However, we know little about the organization of sports as an extracurricular program at school. This is qualitative research that analyzes the results of the Youth School Games in Mato Grosso to identify schools that stand out in the sports scene, selecting those with the greatest participation in the state phase between 2016 and 2019. Thus, from the perspective of Sport Pedagogy this research aimed to investigate the organization of sports in an extracurricular context in schools that take part in the Mato Grosso School Youth Games. From the statements of managers (direction and coordination), it became evident that informality predominates in the organization of extracurricular sports. Thus, the perception that sport contributes positively to the development of young people was confirmed.
