However, some children of mainly socially disadvantaged and immigrant backgrounds are not joining. Policy makers want to integrate these children into clubs and associations. The results of an empirical study done in connection with my doctoral dissertation show that club sport is not the most optimal setting for this group of children. The results presented in this article are based on two sports projects that offer sports activities at school after school hours. Interviews with schoolteachers responsible for these afterschool sports projects show that the competition and ranking logic dominating club sports do not match the needs of socially disadvantaged children. The study shows that sports projects at school are successful in capturing and retaining the children, because they are based on a different logic. Furthermore it turns out that parents of immigrant children have confidence in the school as an institution, a trust they exhibit by allowing their children to participate in the sports activities organized at school.</span></p> ER -
