INVESTIGATING THE CURRENT CONDITIONS AND DIFFICULTIES THAT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN CAN THO CITY HAVE WHEN ENGAGED IN EXTRACURRICULAR SPORT ACTIVITIES

The paper employed conventional scientific research methods such as synthesis and analysis of documents and questionnaires to investigate the current conditions in terms of facilities, ground yards, management staff, trainers, and guides to ensure extracurricular sport activities (ESA) for high school students in Can Tho City, Vietnam. The results show that the curriculum is implemented properly in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training. The facilities, training grounds, and teaching staff also ensure the ESA for the students. Moreover, the paper also examined challenges that junior high school students faced when participating in ESA. According to the results, the lack of concern from students' parents, the high cost of training, and the limited time available for training physical sessions are the main difficulties preventing students from participating in ESA.
