The resulting data was analyzed through student t-test and one way analysis of variance (ANOVA)at 0.05 level of significance. Findings indicated that 240(38.4%) of the athletes had their fathers highest level of education of university and 203(32%) of the athletes had their mothers having secondary school education.
