摘要：This review study aimed to analyse the national production on schooling of athletes. From the search for only papers in Portuguese in the Portal Capes Periódicos followed by phases of refinement, seven papers were selected. The results point to the predominance of descriptive studies on the profile of young soccer players and two review studies on the football labor market and legal milestones for student athletes. The main barriers are the time administration between the two careers and the absence of specific regulation in the sports legislation, which are mitigated mainly by the presence of the familiar support in the flexibility of the school formation to the detriment of the dream of the soccer professionalization.
