[Ken & Dianne Hager <kdhager@pa.ausom.net.au>]

Thank you for all the responses. There are a number of other people
interested in the same topic.

I searched AltaVista using "physics of sports" (with the quotation
marks) and found the following sites:  There were also several links to
info about a laser disk if this will be an annual project and if you
have $$ to spend :)  There may be other links at AltaVista that will
help you...I stopped after these 4 (2 pages worth):

Extensive Lesson Plan:

Internet Resources for the above (looks good!):
http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/projects/yep/sports/spinet.html

"Balls in Flight" -- poses questions and provides online videos to help
answer them  (if you go "back" on layer -- delete the <test4.html> you
get to a list of "sports videos" online which *might* all be related to
the physics of sports. I didn't look at them)

About 2/3 down the page is a section of links to "Physics in Sports":
