For teaching practice becomes effectively an educational development action it must be focused on the formation of the subject as a whole. Through this practice, in the case of this study, in the environment of commercial soccer schools, teachers should coordinate, appropriately in his or her classes, activities whose aim is to develop the formation of his or her students in a balanced manner not only for sports, but also for the practice of citizenship. This research aimed to examine whether in the teaching practice of the teacher of the commercial schools of football the teaching of social skills for the development of children occurs or not. Such skills when developed in interpersonal relationships make it relationships with one another possible, besides making friends, relating interpersonally, and having empathy. Thus, human beings learn to deal with situations of stress, relationship difficulties, behavior change, among other important skills that can make up a person's social repertoire. Regarding methodology, it is a qualitative research of descriptive-exploratory type. Data collection were performed using demographic questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with four teachers of commercial soccer schools located in the city of Santarém-PA. As for the data analysis technique, Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) was used, which was studied by Lefèvre and Lefèvre (2003). This dissertation had as a central hypothesis the understanding that teachers, despite not knowing the definition or conceptualization of social skills, promote in their classes interventions in the sense of developing such skills considered important for child development, and a secondary hypothesis in which teachers consider more relevant the development of technical and tactical issues of football while child development is left to second place. It was found from the analysis of the teachers' reports in the DSCs that only the central hypothesis was confirmed. It is believed that the considerations of the mentioned work can bring important benefits to the performance of the teacher of the commercial soccer schools for raising the understanding of the importance of promoting, through teaching practice, development of social skills for children's development.
