Objective of the study was to analyze the education environment at a Children and Youth Sport School (CYSS) versus the individual psychological profiles of the primary schoolchildren to offer a set of predictors to rate and prevent a potential outflow of human resource from the youth sports by the relevant prevention programs. Sampled for the education and psychological service model piloting experiment were 61 people including an aerobics group from CYSS in St. Petersburg (n=35), their families (n=21) and coaches (n=5). The study was designed to use a few psychological test tools (questionnaire survey, tests) and ‘unsolvable problem’ test and survey. The learning environment versus the outflow risk exposure rating study found the group, families and coaches generally having positive attitudes to the school environment; albeit the high-risk-of-outflow subgroup was tested with a relative dissatisfaction with the service environment. The high-risk subgroup was further tested with the domination of weak to medium-weak nervous system types and low rates on the Physical Competency and Coach’s Acceptance scales. This means that the junior athletes were dissatisfied with the degree of support from the coaches; with the high determination rates in the subgroup found associated with the low self-rates and own competitive performance rates.
