Although the physical and psychological benefits of youth
participating in sport are evident, the increasing
professionalization and specialization of youth sport, primarily by
coaches and parents, are changing the culture of youth sport and
causing it to erode the ideal mantra: "It's all about the kids." In
Best Practice for Youth Sport, readers will gain an appreciation of
an array of issues regarding youth sport. This research-based text
is presented in a practical manner, with examples from current
events that foster readers' interest and class discussion. The
content is based on the principle of developmentally appropriate
practice (DAP), which can be defined as engaging in decisions,
behaviors, and policies that meet the physical, psychological, and
social needs of children and youth based on their ages and
maturational levels. This groundbreaking resource covers a breadth
of topics, including bone development, burnout, gender and racial
stereotypes, injuries, motor behavior, and parental pressures.
Written by Robin S. Vealey and Melissa A. Chase, the 16 chapters of
Best Practice for Youth Sport are divided into four parts. Part I,
Youth Sport Basics, provides readers with the fundamental knowledge
and background related to the history, evolution, and organization
of youth sport. Part II, Maturation and Readiness for Youth Sport
Participants, is the core of understanding how and why youth sport
is different from adult sport. This part details why it is
important to know when youth are ready to learn and compete. Part
III, Intensity of Participation in Youth Sport, examines the
appropriateness of physical and psychological intensity at various
developmental stages and the potential ramifications of
overtraining, overspecialization, overstress, and overuse. The text
concludes with part IV, Social Considerations in Youth Sport, which
examines how youth sport coaches and parents can help create a
supportive social environment so that children can maximize the
enjoyment and benefits from youth sport. In addition to 14
appendixes, activities, glossaries, study questions, and other
resources that appear in Best Practice for Youth Sport, the
textbook is enhanced with instructor ancillaries: a test package,
image bank, and instructor guide that features a syllabus,
additional study questions and learning activities, tips on
teaching difficult concepts, and additional readings and resources.
These specialized resources ensure that instructors will be ready
for each class session with engaging materials. Best Practice for
Youth Sport provides readers with knowledge of sport science
concerning youth sport and engages them through the use of
anecdotes, activities, case studies, and practical strategies.
Armed with the knowledge from this text, students, coaches,
parents, administrators, and others will be able to become active
agents of social change in structuring and enhancing youth sport
programs to meet the unique developmental needs of children, making
the programs athlete centered rather than adult centered so that
they truly are all about the kids.
