Methods: 264 elementary school students (9 to 13 years old) from the triathlon clubs including 190 males and 94 females with the mean age of 10.98 years old were recruited for the study, and participants were divided into the age group and the road bike group. Sport Social Support Scale and Sports Values Scale were utilized for the study. Results: 1. Male athletes were found to perceive significant higher teacher support than females. 2. Road bike athletes were found to perceive significant higher teacher support than age group athletes. 3. No difference was found on sport social support among athletes with different training years. 4. No gender difference was found on sport value. 5. Road bike athletes were found to have significant higher moral values than age group athletes. 6. No difference was found on sport value among athletes with different training years. 7. A positive relationship was found between sport social support and sport value, while the relationship between teacher support and social value was found to be the most significant. Conclusion: Teachers’ attitude has impact on both sport social support and sport value of elementary triathlon athletes. More attention on the needs and thoughts of athletes from teachers could increase the participation in triathlon.
