Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the problems facing the youth soccer league(i-league) and present their development directions. The study method used focus group interviews. The results of the study are summarized into three: First, promotion and regional league operation were highlighted as problems of i-League and the solution was the unification system of the Korean Olympic Committee(KOC) and the Korea Football Association(KFA), and the operation of each region by itself. Second, issues resulting from the integration of youth club league and i-league were revealed as level differences by teams and leak of the motivation for winning. Operation of the elevating system was proposed as a solution, and such as fare play team award, voluntary activity team award will derive important virtues for youth. Third, KOC and KFA need additional support for various environments and administrative areas such as facility security, training for leaders and officials, and registration of players.

본 연구의 목적은 유소년 축구리그(i-리그)가 마주하고 있는 문제점을 분석하고 발전방향을 제시하기 위함이다. 연구방법은 질적 연구방법 중 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 사용하였다. 연구 참여자는 총 8명이고, 연구 결과는 다음 3가지로 요약된다. 첫째, i-리그 운영상의 문제점으로 홍보와 지역 내 리그 진행이 부각되었고, 그 해결방안으로 대한체육회 또는 대한축구협회의 일원화 시스템과 권역별 운영이 제시되었다. 둘째, 유소년 클럽리그와 i-리그의 통합으로 인한 이슈는 팀별 수준차이와 승패 동기여부로 나타났고, 해결방안으로 승강제 운영이 제시되었으며 동기부여를 위해서는 유소년의 중요한 덕목을 이끌어낼 수 있는 페어플레이상, 봉사상 등이 필요할 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, i-리그가 나아갈 방향으로 설명회나 공청회를 통해 궁극적인 방향을 설정하고, 대한체육회와 대한축구협회는 융합 및 화합을 통해 시설확보, 지도자 및 관계자 교육, 선수 등록과 같은 제반 환경과 행정적인 부분에 대한 추가적 지원이 필요하다는 의견이 주를 이루었다.
