Description

The Japan Football Association requests that instructors who coach children (under 12-years old) give priority to the observance of rules over securing victory at all costs. On the other hand, the JFA requests all players to pursue victory as part of the JFA's fair play policy. This is a double standard. The purpose of this paper is to consider the following:firstly, criticism of the double standard about fair play by the JFA, and secondly, how to answer this question: " How can we teach fair play without contradicting ourselves?" by analyses of various interpretations of fair play. To achieve this, we will analyze some remarks concerning ethical elements of fair play. After that, we will identify any contradictions regarding these remarks.
