Submissions are needed for scholarly research and discussion on the role of families, in all their forms, in amateur sport.

One pathway researchers and practitioners have pursued to optimize amateur sport experiences is to better understand youth motivation in sport. This has led to providing best practice recommendations for coaches and administrators.

Editors invite a wide range of original research, systematic reviews, theoretical and position papers, and brief reports that will enhance understanding of family issues in amateur athletics.

Send a one-page abstract by Nov. 1, 2016. If subsequently invited to submit, final manuscripts will be due for peer review no later than Jan. 31, 2017.
