Product Description
Review
"A pioneering collection, drawing together important contributions from those at the forefront of research, including young disabled people themselves. As a result it should be essential reading for academics, researchers, students and practitioners interested in the critical issues in this area", Jessica Louise Macbeth and Anthony John Maher, Sport and Society
Product Description
How can or does youth sport reconcile what seems to be a fundamental contradiction between understandings of sport and disability? Has youth sport been challenged in anyway? Have alternative views of sport for disabled people been presented? Examining some of the latest research, this book considers the relationship between sport and disability by exploring a range of questions such as these.
Disability and Youth Sport further challenges current thinking and therefore serves to stimulate progressive debate in this area. Drawing on a breadth of literature from sports pedagogy, sociology of sport, disability studies, inclusive education, and adapted physical activity, a socially critical dialogue is developed where the voices of young disabled people are central. Topics covered include:
- researching disability and youth sport
- inclusion policy towards physical education and youth sport
- constructions of disability through youth sport
- the voices of young disabled people
- the historical context of disability sport
With its comprehensive coverage and expert contributors from around the globe, this book is an ideal text for students at all levels with an interest in youth sport, disability studies, or sport policy.

Considering the majority of text on disabilities sports is taken from adults or from adults who think they know what and how the children feel, it was about time we got a chance to ask the children themselves. There are qualitative chapters too dismissing any concerns over the integrity of studies of youth disability sports.
Even if this subject is of very little interest to you, I still think it is a good read to grasp some of the philosophies and future directions for sport studies.
