Abstract
Youth sports have a crucial impact on many areas of development in a young athlete’s life. One of these areas is social development. The importance that participating in youth sports has on a young athlete’s social development is immense. Though the progress of social development can be affected by a youth sport, it differs with many different factors. This literature review will cover the effects that perceived parental support, perceived skill competence, socioeconomic status, influence of perception of peer relationships on participation, and other factors have on social development in youth sports.
