This paper looks to investigate youth athlete dropout rates, the reasons for youth athlete dropout, and ways to improve youth athlete retention through analysis of preexisting research. It was found that youth athlete dropout rates are alarmingly high. It was also found that coaches and parents are contributing to youth athlete dropout by having unattainable expectations of the children, taking up too much of the children`s time, and using ill maintained facilities. Lastly, it was found that the keys to improving youth athlete retention in sport completely revolved on the enjoyment of the children themselves through positive experiences tailored by the coaches.
