In this study, characterized as a reception study, we analyze how young students understand and interpret the scheduling strategies of the Pan American Rio/2007 Games' Agenda. To analyze the recall-questionnaires, the transcripted data of the discussion groups, as well as the field notes, we used the techniques of the content analysis. Were identified 5 categories: Pan Personalities, Infrastructure and Security, Variety, Pan American Torch and Countdown. Finally, we considered appropriate to suggest the development of the media education in schools, especially concerning Physical Education, to broaden the understandings that involve the sporting culture of the students.
