Students gain hands-on experience in sports analytics by creating their own Player Efficiency Rating program in Java™ and participating in a fantasy baseball league.
The Lavner Camps Sports Analytics Camp teaches students to make data-driven decisions in sports and evaluate players. Campers will explore the power of computer coding to create a Java™ program that assigns a Player Efficiency Rating (PER) based on their own model, allowing them to decide how to weigh each statistical category. The program emphasizes hands-on experience analyzing real-world sports data and encourages creative problem-solving for innovative solutions, such as designing new statistical models or developing unique fantasy team strategies. Students will also participate in an All-Camp Fantasy Baseball League to apply their newly acquired skills. Prior experience in Java™ or Python™ is recommended but not required, making it accessible for various skill levels. The camp aims to provide valuable learning opportunities in statistics and an introduction to the fast-growing sports analytics industry.
A typical day includes specialized camp activities focused on sports analytics, snack breaks, lunch with supervised recess for sports and socialization, and optional private lessons before or after regular camp hours.
This camp is best for middle and high school students who are passionate about sports, interested in statistics and computer coding, and aspire to understand or work in the sports analytics industry.
