Abstract
Analysing the movement patterns of athletes in team sport is essential to understanding and maximising their performance. Previous research has shown performance indicators (PIs) can be directly related to match outcome, and these key PIs can be used to successfully model match margin. However, most PIs do not include the location they occurred and therefore lack the context to which the event happened. This research provides a solution to this issue for netball by developing an event location recording system. The user interface was created using Visual Basic embedded into Microsoft Excel where a trained operator can efficiently record key statistical data of a match. This software has allowed a deeper understanding of player passing combinations and the location where they occur, as well as providing key match statistics including quantitative analysis of player passing, circle feeds, centre pass receives and turnovers. The output of this research has provided a much richer analysis of the match, and greatly reduced the time taken and complexity to achieve an equivalent data set. Importantly it has allowed coaching and training staff to integrate the information into existing player and team analysis systems to develop informed training sessions, and in game tactical analysis.
