Abstract: Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially since the beginning of the new era, China's youth sports work has made a progress in many ways, but there are still many problems first, the comprehensive value of school sports has not been effectively brought into play, which is evident in promoting the development of youth sports; second, traditional sports schools cannot keep up with the needs of the times, and lack development vitality; third, social organizations in relation to youth sports are still in their infancy, immature in all aspects and cannot support the development of youth sports in the new era. The "Opinions on Deepening the Integration of Sports and Education to Promote the Healthy Development of Adolescents" is a guiding document for youth sports work in the new development stage. Conceptions towards youth sports work need to be changed accordingly promoting the return of sports to education, relying more on social resources, giving active support to social sports organizations, and promoting the construction of high-level sports teams in colleges and universities. The specific measures to further the "integration of sports and education" include strengthening school sports work, perfecting the system of youth sports events, detailing the construction of high-level sports teams in colleges and universities, deepening the reform of sports schools, improving social sports organizations and strengthening the construction of physical education teachers and coaches.

Key words: youth sports work, reflections on problems, integration of sports and education, improvement measures
