Social networks play the most important role particularly on participating in the recreational sports. The primary purpose of this study was to discuss the relationship between social networks and recreational sports participation. In order to reach this purpose, the qualitative research was applied. Nine members in the spontaneous movement organization in Taipei were interviewed by semi-structured interviews and observation approaches, and the results were as follows: First, the magnitude of the spontaneous movement organization structures is not coincident, and the frequency between members is about twice to three times a week, which tends to be low-density and low-intensity networks reference. In addition, someone who is high-centered will be not only the key person but the core of the organization. Once the network has more bi-directional link, the organization is equipped with stable symmetry and persistence. Second, the spontaneous movement organizations have multiple social network functions, which build the relationships between organization members as well as cohere centripetal force to the team; meanwhile, these are also the main reasons that impact members' recreational sports participation and exercise continually. Third, the social networks in the spontaneous movement organizations enforce the exercise effect and make great influences on participant behaviors. Relatively, individual social networks alter as well when the participant behaviors change. Forth, the structures and functions of the spontaneous movement organizations vary with the time. They may even expand from original recreational sports networks to general social networks.
