Significant mean differences were found in motivation and considering criteria by background variables such as gender, experience for volunteering sport events, exercise habit, and experience for extracurricular activities. Conclusion: The motivation for both sport and non-sport major college students to volunteer sport events includes four factors: ”feedback and services,” ”professional development,” ”self-challenge,” and ”easy for learning.” The criteria considering to volunteer sport events are ”individual availability,” ”organization wellness,” and ”personal benefits.” College students with different background may volunteer sport events for different motivation and considering criteria.
