Abstract
Abstract The participation of women in men preserve sports, such as futsal, is permeated by struggles for spaces and legitimacy, including in the school context. For boys, moving is valued, whereas girls are taught to be quieter, making it difficult to access certain sports activities. This study aimed to analyze the challenges and opportunities for women participation in extracurricular school futsal, from the perspective of high school students from a private school. Data were obtained with semi-structured interviews and analyzed based on the Grounded Theory. The school’s initiative to offer the opportunity for practice, the students’ heterodox attitudes, the support of parents, and feeling of belonging to the group, make it possible for girls to play a legitimate role in futsal at this school.
