Abstract: In the context of deepening the integration of sport and education, the governance of local youth sport is changing from departmental unitary governance to cooperative governance across sectors, levels and fields. Taken the practices of deepening the integration of sport and education in Shanghai and Zhejiang Province as examples, the driving force, constituent elements, realization path and evolution mechanism of local youth sport cooperation governance are systematically explored. It is found that: the driving force formed by local youth sport governance objectives, structural changes and policy absence has affected its governance reform; youth sport cooperative governance becomes the practical achievement of exploring the deepening of sport and education integration, with the vertical and horizontal symbiotic governance bodies, hierarchical governance content and the governance methods for a strong base as the core elements; local youth sport could realize the transformation of cooperation governance from endogenous, administrative and linear to exogenous, spontaneous and networked mechanism if it follows the path of exploring policy innovative methods, building policy implementation system and releasing national policy dividends.
