It is a widely accepted view that the participation of young generations in organized sports activities has positive impacts both for the individual and the society. However, these positive impacts often does not reach those groups of the society, which would need the most these impacts for improving their chances regarding social participation and thus promoting integration of the society. The paper presents the results of a survey among young athletes inHungary, showing that the perception of the athletes in the sports clubs is very positive regarding the impacts of sports on their lives, but that young people from low-income and low-education families have very limited access to the sports clubs and so to the positive impacts of sports.

The objective of this study was to determine the type of leadership applied by the directors of amateur sports clubs. This quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out on a sample of 48 directors of sports clubs in total: 23 (47.91%) belonging to collective sports clubs and 25 (52.08%) to individual sports clubs. The study administered the MLQ-X5 Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (45 items). The answers are collected on a Likert scale ranging from 0 (never) to 4 (almost always). The results indicated that the directors opt for a transformational leadership style (3.24), preferably followed by the corrective leadership type (3.18) and almost the same level as the developer type (3.17). The study concluded that the collective sports directors opt for the style of transformational leadership by being proactive and promoting the achievement of extraordinary goals.

Many particularities distinguish the economic situation of sports clubs from profit- orientated firms. They stem from the constitutive features of a sports club: voluntary membership, orientation towards the member's interest, independence of third parties, democratic decisional structure and voluntary work. The major particularities that crystallize are the structures of resources and kinds of financing, goods produced, the optimization of goods production, control mechanisms through which the various demands and expectations are keyed to one another, goals of the executive board and decision-taking according to the majority vote. These particularities are not only of consequence for the social structure of the club, but also constitute the basis for an economic theory of sports clubs.

Social capital has been emphasized as a way to solve various community problems, and sports are considered one way to build social capital as a catalyst for that purpose. Comprehensive community sport clubs offer not only various sports but also opportunities for communication among club members. However, most traditional community sports clubs are designed for only one type of sport, and their scope is limited in terms of gender, age, and technique. This study compares the varieties of community sport clubs, which can be separated into two types in terms of social capital. To accomplish this, we investigate the relationship between the location of sport clubs and social capital. Data obtained from written questionnaires were analysed using a t-test to determine the different types of sport clubs according to degrees of social capital. This study also examines the effects of the relationship between the type and location of community sport clubs as far as social capital is concerned. One-way ANOVA was chosen for this analysis. The results show that some differences exist in the relationship between types of sport clubs and social capital. The findings also show that the location of community sport clubs is critical to the production of social capital.
