The Sport and Recreation Law Association (SRLA) aims to further the study and dissemination of information regarding legal aspects of sport and recreation. The Association addresses legal aspects of sport and recreation within both the public and private sectors.
The Association serves academicians and practitioners in private and public sport and recreation settings. Members have diverse educational and experiential backgrounds and represent a variety of occupations and interests. They may teach or be students at institutions of higher education (sport and recreation management programs, law schools), practice law, operate risk management firms, or serve in other related fields.
SRLA hosts an annual conference that provides quality peer-reviewed scholarship in the area of sport and recreation law. Scholarship is disseminated through 25 or 50 minute presentations, 75 minute symposium sessions, and poster sessions. Conference attendees also have the opportunity to interact with scholars and practitioners from across the country, engage in social activities, and network with industry professionals. The annual conference is beneficial for professionals, academics and students alike.

Our 2027 Conference will be held at the Hotel Kansas City in Kansas City, MO, on February 24-26, 2027.
