The conference represents an opportunity to present papers and learn from other research on a wide variety of sports engineering topics.  The conference always includes topics that advance the state-of-research in sports like golf, tennis, baseball, and skiing, but also offers a great opportunity to introduce research into sports that have traditionally not been as aggressively researched.  We welcome any quality sports engineering research in any sport.  Below is a partial list of sports that the organizers would welcome submission of abstracts.
