For this people the great difficulty of keeping original, solidarity and prosocial type motivations alive often emerges in a context in which the ssociation’s life is rigidly governed by bureaucratic rules and where associates and families do not always help and sustain each other. Inspite of this, the world of sport that emerges from this analysis still seems to be perceived as being a place that provides an opportunity to meet and enjoy social commitment
