The purpose of this study was to investigate the regional tendency of preschool children's participation in sport-school through parents influence variables. For this purpose, (i) parents' interest in sport, (ii) the rate of sport-school participation of preschool children, and (iii) parents' educational eagerness, were measured. The survey was conducted by questionnaire method to parents (father 589, mother 593) of three kindergartens at Tokyo (Akabane) , Saitama (Omiya) , Miyagi (Sendai). The results were as follows: (1) The degrees of sport-school participation of children and their parents' educational investment were higher in proportion to its region size. (2) The parents' interest in sport was not explained by the regional differences except for cognitive involvement in sport. (3) Between both sexes, there were significant differences at all items except for affective involvement. From the above results, it seems that sport participation of preschool children was more related to the degree of the parents' (especially mother's) educational eagerness than that of their interest in sport.
