(School of Physical Education,South China University of Technology,Guangzhou 510641,China) Abstract: The authors investigated and studied various student associations of traditional national sports events in South China University of Technology, and found that student sports associations coached by physical education teachers had a performance better than that of existing physical education classes in terms of activity scale, diversity of activity forms, depth of activity contents, flexibility of activity times, cultivation of student’s sports habits, and student’s degree of satisfaction, which showed that college student sports associations have an important status in college sports. Via their study the authors also found that as a result of that college sports investments were focused overly on sports team training and competition, college student associations today are generally lacking in the coaching of physical education teachers, and have problems such as inadequate association management, lack of ac-tivity places and funds, lax discipline and low enthusiasm of students, etc. The author proposed that college physical education should base its main function on education, correctly deal with relations between physical education classes, sports association activities and sports training and competition, organically combine sports associations with physical education classes, and exert the main functions of sports associations to serve nationwide fitness.
