However, sociological attention to family and sport is long overdue and sorely needed. Providing timely knowledge and long-awaited insights into pressing issues, this volume of \u003cem\u003eResearch in the Sociology of Sport\u003c\/em\u003e establishes family and sport as a clearly identified field of study within sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFocusing on how families participate in sport in global societies where traditional norms are rapidly evolving, this edited collection presents unique contributions to an under researched area of sociological inquiry.
