Social structure remains an equivocal term in (sport) sociology. Our understandings of its constitution and role in causally influencing behaviour are arguably underdeveloped. Using a critical realist approach, this paper examined how structural entities and reflexive agency combined to influence behaviour in an elite youth cricket context (e.g., athletes, coaches). A methodological bricolage was used to generate data and Elder-Vass' (2007, 2010) theorising provided the principal heuristic device. The analysis illustrated how coaches acted on behalf of norm circles in their attempts to shape dispositions of athletes. In turn, athletes engaged in a process of dialectical iteration between reflexive deliberation and (intersectional) dispositions, which influenced their social action in this organisational context. This study holds significance for researchers and practitioners concerned with social influence.
