In recent years sports facilities and tournament venues have become equipped with amenities for people with disabilities. In addition to equipment, however, volunteers are indispensible, especially for the visually impaired and tetraplegic wheelchair users to engage in sports. Therefore in order to promote sports for people with disability, it is essential to foster volunteers with knowledge and experience of sports for people with disability, and to create organizations that support sustained sports activities. In order to do this, it is necessary to understand what volunteers hope for and expect from volunteer activities in relation to sports for people with disability. The purpose of the present study is first to find out the expectations of members of the Council of Sports Coaches for People with Disability, and second, to classify respondents according to their expectations and to investigate the correlation between these expectations and their personal characteristics and desire to engage in volunteer activities. A survey, replicating an earlier study, was carried out, targeting 1050 members of the Council of Sports Coaches for People with Disability in H prefecture during January and February 2000. There were 506 valid responses, representing 48.4% of respondents. The major findings are summarized as follows: 1. There was a strong overall tendency for members to expect to meet and interact with the disabled, as well as with other volunteer associates, and to be eager for self-development. A factor analysis of expectations in relation to activities revealed 5 factors: interaction with associates; social contribution; social benefit; the offer of sports skill& and better use of life. Likewise, a cluster analysis of each factor resulted in classifying the council members into five groups: those who wanted interaction with associates; those who offered sports skills; those who wanted passive participation; those who wanted social contribution; and those who offered disability support. 2. The council members' wishes for volunteer services include caring for the disabled and administering tournaments and club activities, but tournaments have a higher priority. Also within the field of sports coaching, they wanted to act as practice partners more than coaching and refereeing. The survey found that there were a variety of expectations. There has been little consideration given to council members' expectations about the volunteer activities they engage in. This study reveals that the kind of volunteer service they hope for depends on what they expect from those activities. It also suggests the need for systematic and deliberate coordination in the promotion of volunteer activities, such as assigning volunteers by taking into consideration their expectations concerning activities and the kind of volunteer service they hope for.
