Abstract

This study assessed the extent of the roles played by sports chaperones in supporting the development and performance of student-athletes in Congressional District 1 of the Schools Division of Nueva Ecija. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, the study gathered data from sports chaperones, sports coaches, and selected student-athletes. Findings revealed that the respondents were predominantly young, female, single, college-educated, and relatively inexperienced in sports chaperoning, handling both team and individual sports. Despite limited experience, sports chaperones demonstrated a very great extent of performance across all role dimensions, particularly in facilitating communication, stakeholder coordination, and promoting holistic student-athlete development. and supervision, providing emotional and moral guidance, and managing logistics and daily needs were likewise rated highly, affirming the effectiveness of chaperones in maintaining discipline, preventing risks, and fostering a supportive environment. Results further showed that most profile variables were not significantly related to chaperone roles, indicating that performance remained consistent regardless of demographic characteristics; however, civil status and educational attainment significantly influenced emotional and moral guidance. Moreover, all role dimensions were significantly and positively correlated, suggesting that strong performance in one area enhances effectiveness in others, particularly in communication and emotional support. Based on the findings, a sustainability plan was proposed to strengthen sports chaperones through continuous training, mentoring, safe play monitoring, stakeholder collaboration, and institutional support from schools, PTAs, and LGUs. The study concluded that sports chaperones play a vital role in ensuring the welfare, discipline, and holistic development of student-athletes, emphasizing the importance of sustained professional development and systematic support mechanisms for long-term effectiveness
