This is Sports Marketing!

SPORTS MARKETING
Course #5160
Grades 9 – 12
Half Year, Half Credit

Welcome to Sports Marketing! This half-year course is designed for students with an interest in the sports industry and its related careers. Marketing is the tool that has allowed the United States economy to be one of the most successful in the world. Additionally, it has also made the Sports and Entertainment industries important parts of our modern economy. Fans and companies spend billions of dollars each year on sports, while entertainment is one of the largest exports the United States offers to the rest of the world. Utilizing the specific environments of both industries, students will be introduced to the basic marketing principles and components that are used in our economic system. The exploration of these principles will be studied and applied in an active, “hands-on” participative environment, through class projects, Internet simulations, and general classroom lectures. The class concludes with a 2 part final exam.

Course Topics:

• Introduction to Marketing Definitions
• Sport Consumer Behavior
• Marketing Research
• The Sport Product
• The Pricing of Sports
• Sports Promotion

The SMKTG Fantasy Football Draft is Here!

Sports Marketers:

In preparation for our draft on 9/8, I want you to visit our Fantasy League Page by clicking on the link to the right of this post. By browsing through the league, you will get an idea of what the league rules are, your roster requirements, and be able to search which players may earn you the most points. During the season, you will be able to use this link to check your own scores, standings and schedules.

After you check out each of these things you may want to figure out which players your team should try to draft, along with when you should draft them. You should print out player lists, roster requirements, and anything else you think your team is going to need to be successful in your draft. A bad draft will almost certainly lead to a bad season, and no chance to win the league prize.

The ESPN Draft Kit can be found by clicking here.

So do your draft homework before September 8 and bring your draft materials to class!

Ask around too! Seeking out advice from family and friends is always encouraged (even though it might not be great advice that you get!)
