Abstract

This study examines how people can connect socially through sports. Using the example of league bowling in Okinawa, it shows the connection between people being in regular close contact and strengthened social bonds in their daily lives.<br> 　In Okinawa’s league bowling, players actively socialize over food and drinks, including alcohol. Additionally, not only do league participants socialize, their family members also intermingle. Close interactions also take place between the participants and the bowling alley managers. Furthermore, such connections may extend beyond the bowling alley. The league also acts as a place of Moai (a kind of rotating credit associations), since bowling fosters mutual trust and the league is held regularly.
