Abstract

According to recent act of trainer/instructor profession deregulation in Poland, no courses or exams are required to become a trainer or sport instructor. After changes, any common person is allowed to practice sports coaching. The aim of the research was to become familiar with the parents opinion on the act and on their children’s attendance to the sport classes. The tool to acquire responds was a 10-question questionaire of author’s project which has been completed by 378 citizens of Malopolska. The results revealed discrepancies in perception of trainer/instructor profession deregulation. Among others, around 60% of parents declared they never checked pro’s qualifications and would not mind their work if they had no certifications. Most parents do not focus on the trainers’ faculties and legal force of their title. It should be thought-provoking as kids’ safety is expected to be priority. There comes the conclusion that the act of deregulation, which is strongly depreciated by experts, is not being depreciated among parents of children practicing sports. There should be introduced educational campaign which would increase parents’ awareness.
