EXPLORING THE FACTORS REGULATE GRASSROOTS FOOTBALL DEVELOPMENT IN ANHUI PROVINCE, CHINA WITH STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING
Abstract
Against the background of the overall decline of Chinese football, grassroots football in Chinese schools has become an important position for the revitalization of Chinese football. What factors will affect the development of school grassroots football and how to avoid risks are issues that need to be solved urgently. Based on the theory of Sport success factors and taking Anhui Province as an example, this article constructs a model of factors influencing the development of grassroots football in Chinese schools, studies the support policies at the macro level, coach’s education and football competition at the meso level, and football at the micro level. The relationship between schools and football clubs and grassroots football sustainability. The empirical results show that government policies, education of grassroots football coaches, grassroots football competitions, football layout schools and social football clubs are the influencing factors of grassroots football development in China. In this regard, the article proposes targeted implication in four aspects: policy support for grassroots football development, competition management, coach training management and school-enterprise cooperation.
