This study, with a qualitative trait, discussed the usefulness of personal interactions and the interventional aspects of cheerers in relation to children, in the competitive practice of soccer, when initiating in sports. The study consisted of an alliance between a bibliographic research and field research, using an assorted questionnaire as an instrument of data collection. This instrument was applied to 20 male children, between the ages of 11 and 12, enrolled in a specialized soccer school. The data were analyzed in a descriptive way by the Analysis Technique of Thematic Content and they identify a great participation of parents when cheering in these children’s soccer matches; children’s approval of their parents’ presence in the games; the negative effects when the cheerers criticize, the cheerer’s influence on the way these children play; and the important role of cheerers’ incentive as a motivational factor. Basing on the research results, it is suggested that new studies should be elaborated to implement the children psychological preparation in this stage of sport learning.
