The expanding subject of Sport for Development is the focus of this special edition. Importantly, there have been few concerns made regarding the educational excellence of sport for growth programs or the pedagogies used to teach them. This seems to be an error, since development implies some kind of learning or educational activity by definition. This article serves as an introduction to the issue, providing editorial comments and a synopsis of the papers featured. The papers in this issue also provide as a basis for some observations on Sport for Development as an emerging area of research, as well as for some suggestions about possible future possibilities. The papers, in our opinion, raise important questions concerning pedagogy and pedagogical practices in sport for development projects, which are exacerbated by the prevalence of neoliberal aims, however inadvertent, in these program.
