Understanding where scores originate from is crucial in evaluating your team’s effectiveness and where opposition are getting success from. By categorising scores based on their origin- such as own kickouts, opp kickouts, physical turnovers, handling/passing errors, throw ins etc. teams can pinpoint strengths and weaknesses.

For example, a high percentage of scores from own kickouts may indicate a strong, structured buildup, while frequent scores conceded from passing errors could highlight a need to tailor back the type of passes players are choosing. This data driven approach enables teams to refine their tactics, minimise costly mistake and capitalise on their strengths.
