The purpose of this research to put forward an outlook for implementation of boxing, football and wrestling that are included in school sports activities in Turkey. For this purpose, a case study, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. In order to reach the research findings, detailed literature research was carried out and attention was paid to the requirement that the data be meaningful within itself in the data collection and analysis processes. Based on the results of the research, it was determined that, in the legal regulations created within the scope of school sports activities and according to the grades and ages in the education system, there was a restriction between the years 1923-2013 about the implementation of the branches of boxing, football and wrestling among the school sports activities that students (game nests/elementary and middle school, littles and stars) could participate in. This restriction on school sports activities such as boxing, football and wrestling branches, which enable children to realize themselves and to spend their leisure time effectively, as these are among the general and specific goals of education, is seen as a very important deficiency in terms of the Turkish education system and Turkish sports.
