Dear colleagues,

at the initiative of Donald Kirkendall (FIFA – Medical Assessment and Research Centre, F-MARC) and Tim Meyer (Saarland University, Germany) a team sport interest group has been established within the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) at the 2010 annual conference in Baltimore.

This www platform has been created to allow intensive, time-efficient and discipline-specific discussion on topics which are considered relevant and innovative in future team sports research. Moreover, you have the option to announce symposia, conferences and meetings within our community or to upload interesting material (videos, images, papers, etc.).

The platform is username/password protected and open for all people who demonstrate history of clinical, research, educational and/or service activities in a particular team sport (for registration details see the corresponding link).

The website is run by the Institute of Sports and Preventive Medicine of Saarland University and sponsored by F-MARC, the FIFA Medical Assessment and Research Centre (both logos appear on the left hand side of this page).

Best regards
