Abstract

Sport moves people physically, emotionally, socially and movement is central to sport. Yet, engagement with sport in mobilities studies is rare. This paper outlines an agenda for sport mobilities approaches to catalyse greater engagement in the field with the world of sport and to strengthen dialogues with, and mobilities’ position within, interdisciplinary sport studies. We first establish the promise of sport mobilities research before tracing existing engagements, and finally offering a framework for future sport mobilities approaches.
