Thus, the objective of this study was to identify the reasons for sports practice of school athletes participating in the School Games of Paraná 2016 and the variables, gender, age, and training time. In total, 2014 school athletes participated in the study. The results demonstrate that school athletes gave greatest importance to aspects related to improvement in technical skills, tackling challenges and exposure to risks, learning new skills, and moving to a higher level.
