This study reports the results of a pilot Change Agent Research (CAR) project initiated in the summer of 1975 by the Sports Institute for Research (SIR) for the Windsor Minor Lacrosse Association. The purpose of the project was to audit the association to diagnose the nature of its organizational problems and assist in initiating change in order to reduce the gap between stated goals and actual behavior. The researchers utilized the SAW method for diagnosis. SAW consists of [S]eeing by audiovisual and personal observation monitoring; [A]sking by semi-directed, focused interviews; and [W]ritten opinionnaires. Results indicated problems within the organization stemming from ambiguity of goals and outside pressures. Data collected from players indicated problems stemming from differences in age and low morale due to dropouts. The interviews and questionnaires depicted an amateur sports direction for the organization; however, monitoring by media and personal observation indicated the organization was heading in a professional athletics direction. Overall, the results revealed that the players want to operate as an amateur sports association and revisions must be made in the structure of the association to accommodate the players' needs and desire for amateur status. Appendices include sample SAW opinionnaires. (MM)
