FEW parents believe they pose problems for little league players, but the Utah-NeMexico study indicates theyre too serious about it and are helping convert such programs into adult activities.

HENSCHEN, an assistant professor of physical education at Utah, and Griffin, chairman of the Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation at New Mexico and a former Utah faculty member, interviewed 1,131 players, parents and coaches in the study. None of the 365 parents interviewed in Salt Lake City and Albuquerque admitted applying any pressure to force their offspring into little league competition. GUIDELINES drawn up by Henschen and Dr. Leon Griffin of the University of New Mexico give top priority to a recommendation that parents largely detach themselves from the little league scene. They say parents should be encouraged not to attend practices and that consideration should be given to eliminating the fanfare of bands, cheerleaders and spectators from games. A fundamental law of learning is to practice in private and once you have THERES mastered the skill, then perform in public," the study says. It adds that spectators, cheerleaders and bands serve no useful purpose to a youngsters performance. They apply extra psychological pressure on players. In reality, the professors explain, the leagues are not extremely proficient and slightly young to be shouldering the pressures of public performance. THE professors say parents have become too immersed in the program and bear a share of the blame for the overemphasis on winning. When a boy returns home after a game or practice, his parents should inquire, Did no admission-n- put on them. were obviously As parents, not objective about this," says Griffin.
