DESCRIPTION:This seminar offers a critical analysis of the relationship be
 tween youth\, sport and citizenship development\, in practice and in the U
 K policy context of sports coaching and physical education. It draws on da
 ta and insights from a recently completed ESRC funded research project in 
 England\, which identified substantial tensions in intergenerational relat
 ionships in sport and coaching\, whilst suggesting wider international con
 cerns and implications for policy and practice. Drawing heuristically upon
  the philosophy of Dewey ( 207[1916])\, it is recognized that the concept 
 of citizenship as a form of social practice should seek to encourage the d
 evelopment of complementary traits and dispositions in young people. To de
 velop socially and educationally thus entails engagement in meaningful soc
 ial and cultural activity\, of which one potentially significant component
  is participation in youth sport\, both within and outside formal educatio
 n. However it is argued that nay confident assumption that sporting and co
 aching contexts will necessarily foster positive traits and dispositions i
 n young people should be considered dubious and misplaced. We contend that
  in these contexts ‘liaisons’ and interactions between coaches and you
 ng people are often treated suspiciously \, and regarded as potentially 
 ‘dangerous’.
