Beyond the coach
Introduction Youth sport is widely regarded as a context for promoting positive youth development (PYD) and life skill development; however, inequities in the youth sport system can limit coaches' perceived ability to foster these outcomes. Guided by an integrated youth sport system perspective, this study examined how contextual factors, community-level resource access, and organizational training and support were associated with coaches' percei…
The Dimensionality and Reliability of the Cayci School Climate Experience Survey Middle/High School Student Short Form
There is growing evidence that student experiences of school climate are closely linked to both individual and school-level outcomes. To support data-driven school improvement efforts, it is essential to use reliable and valid measures of school climate, especially brief tools that reduce response burden, ensure accessibility, and enhance feasibility. Using bifactor analysis, this study examined the psychometric properties of the Community and Yo…
Relationships among sport participation, sport and social competence, and mental health symptomatology
Introduction: Rising rates of adolescent mental health symptomatology have prompted increased attention to the potential protective role of sport participation. While sport participation has the potential to support positive mental health outcomes, such as lower levels of anxiety and depression, athletes may also experience unique stressors and pressures surrounding sport. Such dualities underscore the need to better understand the mechanisms und…
Implementation fidelity of a sport-based positive youth development program designed to teach sport and social skills
BACKGROUND: Sport-based positive youth development (SBPYD) programs leverage sport as a context in communities to help youth build competencies and developmental assets, reduce risk factors, and transfer skills learned to other social settings. However, many programs do not fully achieve their objectives due to challenges with implementation fidelity. The purpose of this process evaluation was to (a) examine the implementation fidelity of a SBPYD…
Policy requirements and coach mental health training
Findings suggest coach educators can leverage technology to design interactive online coach training sessions that yield comparable learning outcomes to those of in-person training. Our results inform scalable, policy-aligned solutions that can enhance coach preparedness by leveraging technology to equip coaches with best practices in supporting student-athlete mental health
What Keeps Kids Coming Back? Retention in a Sport-Based Positive Youth Development Program
Research finds engagement in sport-based positive youth development (PYD) programs contribute to key outcomes related to physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and mental health. Consistent, long-term participation ensures youth, especially those who are socially vulnerable, reap the most benefits. Even when common barriers are removed, retention remains a challenge. Using mixed methods, this study explored factors related to long-term retention…
Examining the influence of sport program staff and parent/caregiver support on youth outcomes
Youth participation in sport is associated with positive developmental outcomes. The development of life skills is especially important for urban youth of color who are often underserved and face poor long-term outcomes. To service the needs of underserved youth, community youth sport programs have begun to utilize sport-based positive youth development (PYD). Through this approach, key adult figures such as sport program staff and parents/caregi…

Participation in a summer sport-based youth development program for disadvantaged youth
Participation in Boys & Girls Clubs, vulnerability, and problem behaviors
Institutions of Youth Development
Youth development organizations are key institutions that contribute to healthy outcomes for youths. The development of caring staff-youth relationships is one key youth development program strategy. Using structural equation modeling, the present study examined the importance of these relationships on impacting school-related attitudes and behaviors among 149 youth participants in a Boys & Girls Club program. Results indicate that staff-youth re…
Design Teams as Learning Systems for Complex Systems Change
Systems change in child welfare and cross-systems change involving other service sectors are needed in response to two developments: (1) New policy mandates (e.g., TANF, AS FA) and (2) Research on the co-occurring and interlocking needs of many child welfare families. A four-state initiative was structured in response to these needs. Collaborative learning and action research groups called design teams were structured to identify competencies and…
Factorial and Criterion Validity of Scores of a Measure of Belonging in Youth Development Programs
Many youth development programs, including the Boys & Girls Clubs ofAmerica, feature belonging as a central piece in their theories ofchange. From a psychometric perspective, little is known about measures ofbelonging. This research examined the factorial validity, internal consistency, and predictive validity of scores from one measure of belonging to an after-school youth development program. Confirmatory factor analysis yielded a five-item mea…
