Synthesize empirical research examining the perspectives, learning experiences, and developmental support of youth participation sport coaches.
Conducted a scoping review informed by Arksey and O'Malley's five-stage framework across sports and education databases (January 2010 to April 2025).
Screened and descriptively mapped 11 empirical articles using both quantitative and qualitative analytical approaches.
Quantitative synthesis showed most studies evaluated coach education interventions focused on autonomy-supportive coaching in team sports within Western settings.
Qualitative analysis identified four core themes across the literature: learning enablers, learning challenges, coach learning outcomes, and factors influencing on-field practice.
