NEXTGen Sports Analytics Lab™

Certified Junior Sports Analyst Program

​

Think Differently. Analyze Deeper. Change the Game.

Registration is officially open for the NEXTGen Sports Analytics Lab, a six-week educational sports program created by L.I. Knights Sports & Athletics.

​

This hands-on program is designed for young people who love sports, statistics, rankings, drafts, strategy and competition—even when traditional physical sports may not be where they feel most confident.

​

Participants will step into the role of a Junior Sports Analyst, learning how professional teams use data and information to evaluate athletes, build rosters, identify trends and make important decisions.

​

This is not traditional math tutoring, and it is not simply another sports class.

It is a structured place for young sports minds to think, contribute, lead and discover a meaningful role within the game.
