It also explores the relation among participative motivation, free time management, and leisure satisfaction. 261 New Taipei City elementary school teachers who participate in slow pitch softball were selected as the samples, and “The questionnaire of elementary school teachers’ participative motivation in slow pitch softball, free time management, and leisure satisfaction.” was applied as the research tool. The data gathered was analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent sample t test, One-way ANOVA and canonical correlation, and Pearson product-moment correlation. The findings are as below: I. Among the elementary school teachers who participate in sports, those who exercise with the frequency of 2~3 days a week were most common. A big portion of slow pitch softball participants were beginners and most of the beginner participants (37.5%) played slow softball for about 1~2 years. The main participative motivation in slow pitch softball is “Social Connections”. ”Skill” stands out from the free time management variables. And “Social Interaction” scores highest among the leisure satisfaction variables. II. Obvious differences exist in participative motivation, free time management and leisure satisfaction in the slow pitch softball participants group of New Taipei City elementary school teachers. (1.) The result shows no obvious difference in participative motivation with various genders, positions, and ages. However, the more frequently participating in the slow pitch softball, the more aggressive the participative motivation is. As well as the higher family monthly income; and the longer experience participating in. (2.) There is no obvious difference in free time management with various genders, positions and family monthly incomes. However, the elementary school teachers who are 30 to 41, more frequently participate in and with longer experience participating in slow softball manage their free time better. (3.) Different genders, positions and participating frequencies do not influence leisure satisfaction. Nevertheless, the teachers who are 41 to 50, have family monthly income between 40001 to 70000, and with longer experience participating in slow softball get higher degree of leisure satisfaction. III. The participative motivation shows positive correlation to free time management and leisure satisfaction. Free time management positively affects the degree of the leisure satisfaction. Besides, the result shows that the participative motivation, free time management, and leisure satisfaction relates one another. The research discovers that to manage elementary school teachers’ free time efficiently, it’s better to encourage them to participate in slow pitch softball sports. This will also help them to raise the degree of leisure satisfaction. Keywords: slow pitch softball, participative motivation, free time management , leisure satisfaction
