Cutting through the political rhetoric about the power of sport as a tool for social change and personal improvement, this book offers insight into how and why participating in sport can be good for children and young people. As the first text to focus on the role of sport in positive youth development (PYD), it brings together high-profile contributors from diverse disciplines to examine critically the ways in which sport can be used to promote youth development.

- the theoretical and historical contexts of PYD
- quantitative and qualitative methods for assessing PYD in sport
- the potential of PYD in sport across different ages and abilities.
