“…These attend to issues such as players' motives and perspectives on participation, perceptions of quality soccer experiences, goal setting and group dynamics (Bandera, 2000;Dionigi, 2001;Grant, 2001). Tucuman and Jensen's (1977) stages of group development, for example, provide insight for developing program activities/experiences that assist MSC events to successfully progress through the developmental stages of forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning (see Results 42,.…”

Ageing populations with greater wellness and athletic expectations require quality sports and active living experiences in order to increase and sustain participation levels. Responding to the diverse needs and circumstances of Masterslveterans players is a complex and multi-faceted process. While sports science contributions have been very effective at enhancing active living in a variety of youth and adult sports events, very little has been documented regarding their efficacy in events for Masterslveteran players. This paper draws upon action research to examine the growth and development of a unique Masters World Cup 6-0-side Soccer Tournament, involving representative teams from twelve nations. lntegrated sports science concepts and strategies were employed to develop quality soccer experiences. Longitudinal data suggest that fostering a community of practice is critical to the success of Masters soccer programs. In addition to critical leadership contributions, an eclectic range of age-appropriate and responsive soccer experiences are essential to ensure that Masters events meet the diverse needs and circumstances of the players.

“…The size and scale of the international sports event management sector has increased significantly over the past two decades, becoming a very profitable part of the leisure and tourism industry (Shipway and Kirkup 2011, McGillivray et al 2015, Getz and Page 2016, Frawley 2017and Wright 2019. Sporting events not only generate tourism activity (Getz 2008) but also have a significant impact on the leisure habits and hobbies of those living within host cities (Dionigi 2001, Cudny 2016and Wright 2019.…”

The World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships 2018 in Tomaszów Mazowiecki: A sports geography perspectiveThe sports event sector has increased over the past decades, becoming a profitable part of the leisure and tourism industry. While there is no shortage of knowledge surrounding the legacies of large-scale sports events, little is known about the smaller competitions. The authors seek to fill this gap by establishing a profile of the spectators attending the 2018 World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships, hosted in Tomaszów Mazowiecki (Poland). The results were gathered from 349 intercept survey questionnaires. Over half of the respondents were from the host city or the region. The majority were women. The event attractiveness, uniqueness and novelty, including the venue were the main reasons for attendance. The respondents' willingness to attend a similar event in the future was another key finding. The conclusion and recommendations focus on the need for further research into the motives of those attending small-scale indoor, international age-group winter sports events.
