Cohesion is an essential ingredient for success in team sports. It can be achieved using all forms of inter-personal relationships that promote bonding. Several works have been done on team bonding, but little research effort has been directed towards central feeding system as a tool for bonding in sport teams. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the relationship between central feeding system and bonding among sportsmen and women in the University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria. Descriptive research design of correlation type was adopted. Total enumeration was used to select all team sports athletes which are one hundred and twenty eight (128) in number in the University of Ibadan; of which 59.4% were male and 40.6% female. A validated self-developed
questionnaire tagged Central Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ), and a standardised instrument named The Youth Sport Environmental Questionnaire (TYSEQ) were used as instrument for data collection. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics of Pearson Product Moment Correlation to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that thirty two of the respondents (25%) were below or at the age of twenty years, seventy nine (61.72%) were between the age of 21- 25 years, fifteen (11.72%) were between 26-30 years, while two (1.56) of them were 31 years of age and above.There was a significant relationship between feeding system and bonding among athletes in the University of Ibadan. (r=.632, p<.05). The research also shows that there is a significant relationship between peer fellowshipand bonding among athletes in the University of Ibadan. (r=.589, p<.05). The result confirmed that central feeding system was potent in promoting socialisation and bonding among sportsmen and women in the University of Ibadan. Therefore, it is recommended that sport administrators and coaches should incorporate central feeding system in sport teams so as to foster cohesion in their teams.
