Abstract

The aim of this paper was to describe the factors that contribute to the lack of parental involvement in Sepak Takraw. The research design employed in the study was ethnography. The participants were four families selected purposively from one village, in Bali, Indonesia. The collection of data was done through the administration of an in-depth interview and a non- participant observation. The data analysis method employed was thematic analysis. The results showed that there were three reasons why parents did not support their children to become sepak takraw athletes: the consideration of sepak takraw as a dying sport; the difficult nature of the sport; and the inability of the sport to help the economic situation of the family. The study, therefore, recommends that coaches and policymakers should encourage parents to give more support for their children to become Sepak takraw athletes by socializing the benefits of sepak takraw.
