Abstract

Purpose: The sport leagues and organizations in Korea were established as two divisions: KOC (Elite) and KOCOSA (Sport for All). This structure caused the infringement upon student-athletes’ right for learning and has been noted as an obstacle to developing Korean sport. To address these problems, the Weekend League System (WLS) was introduced in 2009 and the integration of bot horganizations was decided by the Korean national assembly in 2015. These two big events brought many cahnges in Korean sport and it is regarded as a transition period of school sport in Korea. The purpose of this study is to examine all aspects of the WLS and to discuss the role of the WLS in this transition period.BR Method: A total of 19 publications related to WLS were selected and analyzed through content analysis.BR Results: The results were classified into three categories: (1) positive effects of the WLS (Professionalization of football league system, Improvement of spectators’ convenience, and Change in student-athletes’ awareness and attitude regarding study); (2) problems in the introduction stage (Existing student-athletes’ entrance examination, Indiscriminate introduction of the policy, and Conflicts with policy-makers); (3) problems in the operation stage (Physical and financial overload, Discrepancy between the WLS and baseball, and validity of regional division).BR Conclusion: Based on this analysis, we suggest improvement plans (Reorganizing the regional division, Building the guarantee system of day off, and Strengthening th econnection with local community). The WLS is expected to play an important role in establishing the new integrated sport league in Korea and should be constantly monitored.
