Committed to Excellence
@ UVA School of Data Science
Overview
The Sports Science and Analytics Collective (SSAC) is housed in the University of Virginia School of Data Science. It is an assembly of researchers, practitioners, students, and industry partners dedicated to sports, athletes, and data. Our projects range from improving athlete performance, health, welfare to understanding game strategy, and optimizing front office tactics. While we use sports as our laboratory, we aim to extend our findings to a variety of populations and environments.
The University of Virginia School of Data Science—the first of its kind in the nation—is guided by common goals: to further discovery, share knowledge, and make a positive impact on society through collaborative, open, and responsible data science research and education. Founded in fall 2019 through the largest gift in UVA history, the School positions the university and our community to play a national and international leadership role in the global digital future.
