Sports is regarded as one of the most important platforms for advancement and
constructive change during through years. Sports is something that keeps everyone

unexpected. The participation and encouragement level of sports at High School level is
dramatically low and concerning. There are numerous reasons and obstacles behind
this issue particularly at school and High School level among students.

of students’ behaviors through getting them involved in the right sports activities to
reach high levels of sport skill performance. Furthermore, the university students’
involvement in physical and sports activities would enhance their psychological and
physical health.
The current study differs from the studies discussed above that have discussed

settings and the sample of the study. No prior research has examined perceived
barriers to participate in sports activities among female students at Al-Hussein Bin Talal
University. The current study was built on previous studies in terms of the research
method and design. The results of the current study contributed to the body of
The researchers came up with this study as they have noticed that nowadays,
there are few students who are still participating in sports. This study is intended to
address the problem. First, this study aims to know what the level and motives of those
students are who are still participating in sports despite the smaller number of students
who are participating. Second, it aims to determine what sports performance can
develop in students. Lastly, this study aims to know the relationship between barriers in

Conducto Memorial Integrated National High School, to have teachers who have
completed physical education courses so that the children have a wider knowledge
base when it comes to physical education subjects. The purpose of this study was to
focus on the problem that the researchers observed and the insights of the students
Conceptual Framework
The Self-Efficacy Theory of Bandura (1977), is one of the most popular theories
in sports. This theory is based on the idea that self-efficacy is a key factor in
adolescents who spend more time participating in sport report elevated levels of positive
functioning and lower depression. This proves that when the student-athletes have a
certain level of self-efficacy, there is a chance that they have high level of participation
in sports.
In relation to self-efficacy One of the most popular and widely tested approaches
Deci and Ryan (1985). This theory is based on a number of motives or regulations,
has to do with the degree to which your behaviors are chosen and self-initiated.
Moreover, Sport for Development theory of Peacht, et al. (2020) focus on the
improvement of athletic skills and pathways towards professional sport. This supported
by the Holistic Model of Themistocleous (2020) that it is the athletes' overall well-being
and social welfare is being considered, in addition to the sporting development of the
athletes.

of lack of skills that prepare youth to function as productive members of society. In the
sport psychology literature, such psychosocial skills are referred to as life skills, defined
participating in sports activities among university students were related to seven groups.
First, barriers related to students in terms of students’ lack of skills and fear of injury in
sports activities.
Witt and Dangi 2018 forty percent of students played team sports on a regular
basis in 2013. Yet, numerous children and youth drop out of sports every year as well.
This article explores the reasons why children and youth drop out of sports and offers
suggestions for how parents, coaches, and youth development professionals can help
constraints have been offered for why children and youth drop out of sports.
Intrapersonal constraints include lack of enjoyment (not having fun, being bored); low
constraints include parental pressure and loss of feelings of ownership and not having
include time, injuries, cost, and inadequate facilities. Suggestions for minimizing
dropping out of sports and increasing youth engagement include redefining sports goals
away from winning toward having fun, balancing parental involvement, encouraging
multiple sport participation, enabling children to have autonomy and ownership over
game experiences, encouraging rules that give every child a chance to play, decreasing
parental pressure about winning, urging parents to avoid living their sports dreams
The research aims to analyze these relationships and provide insights into how
can lead to improved Sports performance of grade 9 students and positive outcomes.

Future researchers. The study may provide a valuable resource for conducting
further research. With many respondents and relevant data, future researchers can
