The aim of the research is to examine the prosocial and antisocial behavior of young soccer players according to some variables. The sample group of the study consisted of a total of 225 football players aged between 12 and 17 who played soccer in the infrastructure of amateur teams in Trabzon province. Prosocial and antisocial behavior scale in sport was used as data collection tool in the research. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, t test and MANOVA, which is a multivariate statistic, were used. As a result of the research, it was seen that young footballers had high prosocial behaviors and low antisocial behaviors. In addition, as the years of playing football increases, the tendency of prosocial behavior increases and the tendency of antisocial behavior decreases (p<0.05). These result show that the features of soccer as entertaining and exciting masses at the level of infrastructure and as being a visual feast within the context of fair play have been adopted.
