| Sumario: | Even though in the last few years there has been a significant number of programs for the development of sportsmanship, there is empirical evidence that illustrates the need to improve ethical practice within football. This study aimed to address this by creating and developing an intervention specifically tailored to young football players in order to improve the personal aspects of sportsmanship and analyse the changes that this might cause. The sample included one hundred and twenty-six (n = 126) registered football players with an average age of 10.9 years. Over a period of five weeks an education program in ‘values’ was applied within the experimental group. The program effectiveness was assessed by an intra-group analysis, using the Wilcoxon signed ranks test, and inter-group analysis for the Fisher’s exact test. Participants of the program, in comparison with those who did not take part in the educational process, improved their attitude towards failure (p < 0.05). Control group members worsened in 70% of all studied aspects. Participants of the control group and the educational process improve the training assistance. The program was not effective in two cases: type of motivation change (enjoyment or result) and the respect for the trainer. The findings support the need to implement formative programs in grassroots football in order to improve the attitude towards errors and as a preventive measure against loss of values |
