Yet has the dramatic surge in participation by girls contributed to greater gender equality? In this engaging study, leading sociologist Michael A. Messner probes the richly complex gender dynamics of youth sports. Weaving together vivid first-person interviews with his own experiences as a volunteer for his sons' teams, Messner finds that despite the movement of girls into sports, gender boundaries and hierarchies still dominate, especially among the adults who run youth sports. His book widens into a provocative exploration of why youth sports matter-how they play a profound role in shaping gender, class, family, and community. 000619039 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000619039 650_0 $$aSports for children. 000619039 650_0 $$aSports for children$$xCoaching. 000619039 650_0 $$aSports for children$$xPsychological aspects. 000619039 650_0 $$aSports$$xSex differences. 000619039 650_0 $$aParent and child. 000619039 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMessner, Michael A.$$tIt's all for the kids.$$dBerkeley : University of California Press, c2009$$z9780520257108$$z9780520257085$$w(DLC) 2008036052$$w(OCoLC)244177247 000619039 8520_ $$bacq 000619039 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000619039 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=922892$$zOnline Access 000619039 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:619039$$pGLOBAL_SET 000619039 980__ $$aEBOOK 000619039 980__ $$aBIB 000619039 982__ $$aEbook 000619039 983__ $$aOnline
