Summary/Abstract: Sports subcultures are a relatively new social phenomenon. Their members are mainly young people looking for self-expression through their improvement in a given sport. The research into these subcultures provides valuable information about the value system of adolescents and their aspirations for realization. Our study can help form pedagogical methods and approaches to youth. The behaviour of adolescents, their way of life and desires are also an important characteristic of modern Bulgarian society. The study shows that, despite the burden of young people as a result of the digital exposure to new technologies, a generation is growing in Bulgarian society that is ready to step out of its comfort zone and to prove itself “physically” through its skills and desire to distinguish itself from the rest with abilities, not with material possessions.
