The Notre Dame Sports Analytics Club was founded in 2016 to spread awareness regarding opportunities for students in the world of Sports Analytics. The club currently operates in two spheres: The Overall Club and Individual Programs.
The Overall Club’s objectives are accomplished primarily through hosting guest speakers in the industry (see Guest Speakers Tab), promoting sports analytics conferences, informing members of sports-related opportunities on and off campus through a monthly newsletter, and leading analytics workshops, such as helping students understand the basics of R, Python and Tableau.
Our Individual Programs work directly with the Varsity D1 Athletic teams here at Notre Dame to assist them with various analytics-based tasks, ranging from producing scouting reports of upcoming opponents to analyzing data to provide insights that improve athletic performance. These programs are all created with the idea that the students selected to work for these programs are homegrown through participation in the club. Since the club’s inception, relationships have been formed with EIGHT teams and the club is continuously expanding (actively adding Women’s Soccer and Lacrosse, and Golf!). Currently, the student work is volunteer and class credit-based, yet the club has gained recognition in newspapers and the athletic department for 9+ years of outstanding work.
