This qualitative study uses the bona fide group perspective to explore how members of a recreational soccer group communicatively enact their sport community. The group consists of women who meet weekly to play soccer together. Interviews and document analysis show that the women manage group boundaries and context through enacting alternative values, reinforcing discursive contrasts, and negotiating bounded inclusivity. These strategies establish the group as a recreational, supportive community based on friendship and compassion that is an alternative to hyper-masculine competitive sports. This study has implications for future research on life enrichment groups, particularly those organized by women.

“人们关心在这里建立社区”：在女子休闲足球团体中建立社区

这项定性研究使用真正的团体视角来探索休闲足球团体的成员如何交流地制定他们的运动社区。该小组由每周见面一起踢足球的女性组成。访谈和文件分析表明，女性通过制定替代价值观、加强话语对比和谈判有限的包容性来管理群体边界和环境。这些策略使该团体成为一个基于友谊和同情心的娱乐性、支持性社区，是超男子气概的竞技运动的替代品。这项研究对未来对丰富生活群体的研究具有影响，特别是那些由女性组织的群体。
