Sports Market Place Directory is a classic sports reference work that has served the sports industry for over 50 years, offering full coverage of 103 sports—from Air Sports to Yachting—including data on fast-growing segments such as cycling, fitness, gymnastics, martial arts, running, swimming, and weightlifting. With over 14,600 listings, this 2,000-page work comprises 10 chapters of useful contact and other business information, including professional services, college/youth leagues and teams, sports media, events, facilities, sponsors, and professional services.

In recent years, sports-related travel, construction, and apparel have all outperformed their non-sports counterparts, and the list doesn’t stop there. Advertising, food, and entertainment are just a few of the other industries where sports play a major role, and this 2017 edition of Sports Market Place Directory is the perfect key to this dynamic, multibillion-dollar industry. All users—whether media professionals, agents, athletic directors, coaches, athletes, job seekers, service providers, or fans—will find the Sports Market Place Directory to be an extremely invaluable resource.
