This study summarizes the state of the art of research on youth sport environments, proposes a definition of quality youth sport environments (QYSE), and synthesizes current knowledge about the essential features that constitute such settings. We propose the understanding of a QYSE as one that promotes the youth athletes’ athletic and personal development, their long-term participation and motivation, and their wellbeing. It is a complex, adaptive system, where social and structural factors work in concert to meet the developmental needs of 12–16-year-olds. While the literature allows us to cautiously suggest features of QYSE, this area of research is limited, highlighting the need for further studies.
