DESCRIPTION:This seminar offers a critical analysis of the rel
 ationship between youth\, sport and citizenship de
 velopment\, in practice and in the UK policy conte
 xt of sports coaching and physical education. It d
 raws on data and insights from a recently complete
 d ESRC funded research project in England\, which 
 identified substantial tensions in intergeneration
 al relationships in sport and coaching\, whilst su
 ggesting wider international concerns and implicat
 ions for policy and practice. Drawing heuristicall
 y upon the philosophy of Dewey ( 207[1916])\, it i
 s recognized that the concept of citizenship as a 
 form of social practice should seek to encourage t
 he development of complementary traits and disposi
 tions in young people. To develop socially and edu
 cationally thus entails engagement in meaningful s
 ocial and cultural activity\, of which one potenti
 ally significant component is participation in you
 th sport\, both within and outside formal educatio
 n. However it is argued that nay confident assumpt
 ion that sporting and coaching contexts will neces
 sarily foster positive traits and dispositions in 
 young people should be considered dubious and misp
 laced. We contend that in these contexts ‘liaisons
 ’ and interactions between coaches and young peopl
 e are often treated suspiciously \, and regarded a
 s potentially ‘dangerous’.
