The IOC reviewed the science and practice of developing young athletes, aiming for a more unified, evidence-informed approach that keeps youth sport inclusive, sustainable and enjoyable while supporting success at every level.

It sets out recommendations for developing healthy, resilient and capable young athletes and opportunities for all levels of participation, and it challenges youth and other sport governing bodies to adopt its guiding principles.
