Students learn to apply advanced statistical concepts to sports analytics, going beyond typical AP Statistics curriculum, and have the chance to publish their final project in the Wharton Sports Analytics Journal.
The Wharton Moneyball Training Camp is a one-week online program that introduces high school students to statistics and coding through the lens of sports. Hosted by the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and the Wharton Sports Analytics and Business Initiative (WSABI), the camp focuses on the fundamental principles of sports statistics rather than heavy computing. Students will gain a rigorous introduction to sports analytics, learning how data drives decisions in professional sports. The curriculum covers foundational statistical concepts such as data wisdom, histograms, box plots, regression analysis, and probability theory, all explained using real-life sports data. Participants will also learn the basics of reading and writing code in R, a statistical programming language used by professionals. The program culminates in students creating their own sports analysis project, with the potential for publication in the Wharton Sports Analytics Journal. Guest speakers from the professional sports industry provide insights into careers and applications of data in sports.
A typical day includes a morning lecture on theoretical statistics, an hour for lunch and optional office hours, a guest speaker session, asynchronous R lectures, a live review coding lecture, and live breakout sessions with TAs and problem sets.
This program is ideal for high school students with strong math skills and a love of sports, who are interested in an introduction to statistics and coding through sports analytics.
