UMass Advanced Sports Statistics Club
About Us
The UMass Advanced Sports Statistics club was founded in the fall of 2014 by a group of Isenberg students who shared one common interest, the use of advanced metrics in the world of sports. Ever since its inception, the UMASSC has strived to reinvent how students look at the sports analytics industry. Now, as one of the fastest growing clubs at UMass, we will work to foster continued growth and excitement amongst our members.
