•  comprehensively analyze team passing networks, identify principal network characteristics, and understand the significance of these network measures in elite level team sport. Our findings suggest a new set of measures to describe and characterize team passing, as well as evaluate team performance, scout for talent and prepare for opposition.

• understand the underlying mechanics of team movement, and characterize patterns for training. We have developed measures for team tempo which demonstrate correlation with team physical performance metrics (such as heart rates, work rates, and high intensity runs), match outcomes and seasonal KPIs.
