AB  - INTRODUCTION: Physical activity-based positive youth development (PYD) programs 
      offer asset building experiences to foster the overall well-being of youth. These 
      programs have the potential to enhance success in other important contexts for 
      children, such as school. However, rigorous examination of this potential impact 
      is needed. METHODS: Propensity score matching was used to compare school outcomes 
      among children who participated in a short, summer physical activity-based PYD 
      program in the USA and children who were from similar backgrounds and from the 
      same school district but did not attend the program. The sample included 149 
      pairs of students aged 7-12 years (M = 10.11, SD = 1.26) and, in each group, 62% 
      were from ethnically diverse backgrounds, 38% were from primarily Caucasian 
      backgrounds, and 80 were female and 69 were male, and birth years were equally 
      distributed. Ordinal and logistic regression models were used to test for 
      differences between standardized math and language arts test scores, excused and 
      unexcused absences, and total suspensions and expulsions between the two groups. 
      RESULTS: PYD program youth had 55% and 46% greater odds being in the highest math 
      (chi(2)(1, N = 298) = 4.06, p = .04) and total days attended categories (chi(2)(1, 
      N = 298) = 5.58, p = .02) respectively. No other significant differences were 
      found. When using a more rigorous quasi-experimental and longitudinal design, 
      participation in a PYD program predicted some but not all academic performance 
      and behaviors. PYD programs may need to be designed to specifically nurture 
      academic skills to consistently impact academic outcomes.
