AB The decline in youth physical activity levels has been a topic of increasing interest in the media and research in recent years (World Health Organization, 2004; Salmon, Booth, Phongsavan, Murphy, & Timpiero, 2007). As a result there has been a call for increased programming, particularly after-school and community-based programming (Active Healthy Kids Canada, 2011; World Health Organization, 2004). The Teaching Personal Social Responsibility (TPSR) program framework developed by Don Hellison has become influential in the development of programs designed to facilitate youth development through sport and physical activity, particularly for vulnerable or at-risk youth (Hellison, 1995; Hellsion & Walsh, 2002). This article will discuss the opportunities and challenges in implementing TPSR-based physical activity programming with the express intention of developing socially responsible and physically active youth. More specifically, we will explain how the program evolved over time and the experience of implementing the programin various contexts.
