This study prospectively examined sport-specific influences on the continued participation in soccer of male adolescent players reporting antisocial behavior symptoms. Respondents included223 12-to 16-year-old boys playing soccer inan organized league in Oslo, Norway. Low levels of quality in reported relationships with friends in soccer, as well as high levels of reported soccer aggression, significantly reduced soccer persistence among younger antisocial players. Among the older players, low soccer enjoyment and low perceived soccer competence significantly improved the prediction of withdrawal from soccer over and above the antisocial behavior main effect. The results suggest that players with antisocial behavior symptoms may wish to continue to play soccer, provided that they enjoy the activity, perceive themselves as competent in soccer, are able to control their socceraggression, and have a good relationship with their soccer friends
