The purpose of this study was to examine the school adjustment of elementary school players who belonged to sport clubs. The subjects in this study were 400 boys and girls who were in their fifth and sixth grade. Out of them, 200 students were players, and 200 weren't. After a survey was conducted to find out their school adjustment, the following findings were given: First, the player group fitted into their schools better than the non- player group in every regard except peer adjustment, irrespective of gender and grade. Second, as for the relationship between sporting event and school adjustment, the individual sport players lagged behind the others in terms of peer adjustment, which indicated the necessity of follow-up research efforts. Third, concerning connections between player career and school adjustment, the players whose career was between one year and one and a half year adapted themselves better to their schools in every aspect on the whole. The above-mentioned findings suggested that regular participation in sports as a member of an elementary school sport club would have a good impact on children's school adjustment.
