Sports Data Scout information

What is a sports data scout?

A Sports Data Scout collects and reports real-time data from live sports events. They track key statistics such as goals, fouls, player performance, and other relevant metrics. This data is used by media companies, sportsbooks, and analysts for accurate reporting and decision-making. Scouts often attend matches in person and must be quick, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable about the sport they cover.

What does a sports data scout do?

A typical day for a Sports Data Scout often involves attending games or reviewing recorded footage, gathering and analyzing performance data, and compiling scouting reports for coaches and management. Scouts regularly collaborate with coaching staff, analysts, and other scouts to discuss findings and integrate data-driven insights into team strategies. The role can involve extensive travel during sporting seasons and periods of independent research and analysis between games. Balancing live observation with data input and report preparation is crucial, making time management and adaptability important traits for success in this career.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a sports data scout?

A successful Sports Data Scout needs strong analytical skills, keen observational abilities, and in-depth knowledge of the sport they focus on, often supported by a relevant degree or equivalent experience. Experience with data analysis tools, sports statistics software, and proficiency in platforms like Excel or SQL are often required, along with certifications in data analytics being advantageous. Excellent attention to detail, communication skills, and the ability to work independently under tight deadlines help scouts stand out. These skills are essential for accurately evaluating talent, identifying trends, and providing actionable insights to teams or organizations.

  • Attend both men's and women's College Basketball games in your current region and surrounding areas of up to a 1-hour travel distance. Some instances of over 1-hour travel may occur.
  • Record and collect in-time real data on our Data Collection Tool and work closely with the game-day support team to ensure data is being recorded quickly and accurately.

What You'll Bring
  • Reliability. We are looking for people who can commit to every game that is planned for coverage in their area. We have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to "no-shows."
  • Driven Work Ethic. Must be one who communicates quickly, wants to learn, is ready to work, and enters data within the company expectations.
  • Communication. We are looking for people who are very comfortable on the phone, responsive via email, and any other company communication platforms. Communication is essential to this position.
  • Preparation. We take training seriously and achieve the determined deadlines so you can apply that knowledge into entering perfect data on game days. This is a fast paced, high intensity environment.
  • Honesty. Integrity is critical to the overall collection of sports data.

Interview Prep
  • This is a part-time, independent contractor role for the 2026-2027 College Basketball season. Performance dictating, there is the potential of additional contracts for other sports and/or seasons.
  • A cover letter will be required when applying. We are looking for a paragraph on why you think you'd be a fit for the role and also why you are interested in College Basketball. If you do not submit a cover letter than you will not be considered
  • If you are selected for an interview you will receive an email via TeamworkOnline inviting you to select a date and time for an interview (reminder to check your spam folder).
  • Interviews will be done using Google Meet or Zoom. You will be quizzed on college basketball rules and procedures (be sure to study up on your referee signals). You will also be asked some questions regarding the previous college basketball season.
  • Interviews will start in mid July. Please check your spam folder, as interview invites have gone to spam in the past.
