Attend a competitive athletic team even involving children ages 6 to 12. Take notes about the event, the roles of the adults, the quality of the child-child and child-adult interactions, and any behaviors that provide evidence of in-group and out-group activities or attitudes. Address the following questions: What are your views about the role of team sports during middle childhood? What do you see as the pros and cons of team participation? What might be some long-term contributions of team sport participation for adult behavior in marriages and work groups?
