ABSTRACT

Sport is one way that can develop a positive young generation. This has been widely believed by several research results. However, it is true that sport can improve communication within the family and will have a positive impact on adolescent development. This research aims to determine whether sports participation can improve family communication and its impact on the positive youth development. This research methodology combines correlational methodology with a quantitative approach. There were 105 respondents in this study, consisting of 78 (74.29%) males and 27 (25.71%) females. The samples for this study were athletes who had participated and trained intensively for 1-2 years. There are 3 research instruments used in this research: barriers to sports participation; standard instrument for family communication, and positive adolescent development. The power analysis used in this research is the partial correlation test. The results of this research show that the three variables have a positive relationship with each other. This means that the better sports participation, the better family communication and positive youth development will be. This has a big implication that sport is not just about achieving success, but also has a big influence on family relationships and even fosters a positive generation of young people. Researchers advise individuals and teenagers to take part in sports activities because it will have an impact on communication skills within the family, and the final impact is positive youth development. Regardless of the type of sport or gender, sport can be an alternative instrument for life in the future.
