Guidelines to using Statzpack      

First off, if you dislike reading and prefer viewing there are tutorial videos available on each of stages are on Youtube.  Watch a couple and hear our very own Jenny, the voice of Statzpack.

SIGN UP.  First step is to sign-up to Statzpack as a Free Trial user here:  http://www.statzpack.com/soccer_web/soccer/amember/signup.php 

ORGANISATION NAME.  As you sign up when you enter your Organisation Name, use the name of your club, for example ‘Beach FC’ or  ‘Jersey United’.  Do not use for example ‘Beach FC U16 Boys’.  You can add team details later on.

SETTING UP:  After you log into Statzpack, the first thing to do is go to Team Management and add your team and player details. 

Team Level:  Teams level names are based on their level or age, for example ‘U18 Colts’.  The Team Levels are based on gender, so there is no need to add the sex of the team in the name of the Team Level, so for example if your Team Level is a girls team, there is no need to add this, for example do not add ‘U18 Colts Girls’.  The system will note that this is a female team throughout and name it accordingly.   Nor should they be named based on the year  – say 2012, or a campaign.

Adding a Campaign:  A Campaign refers to a string of related games, for example ‘Spring Season’, ‘North County League Fall 2012’ or ‘Invitational Tournament’. 

Adding Players:  This is where you add your players.  When adding your players they must be assigned to a single team.  You can add one at a time, or import a list in .csv file format.
If you get fed up with this process, email us at players@statzpack.com, attaching the player details in any format.

Adding a Game:   You cannot add a game on the website without adding the previous data.  At this stage simply follow the drop down options, adding the game date, time, opposition name and your team selection.

What stats to record?  You can record any action/stat you want, and you can make your own set of action, into a Custom Set.  For your first game stick with our ‘Default’ set.
 
You can edit this game data before a game on the website and the app.   GETTING THE APP.  Depending on what device (iPad etc) you choose to use, the Statzpack app is free to download.

Who are the LMA?  

The League Managers Association (LMA) is the organisation which collectively represents all Premiership and Football League managers in English football. So its’ membership includes Sir Alex, Wenger and Hodgson. Good company.  It was set up in 1992 during the period when football in England was undergoing major changes, including the split of the Premiership from the rest of the football league, and the introduction of satellite television coverage of football by Sky Television.

The LMA collects and represents the opinions and interests of the managers of all 92 clubs in the above leagues. The LMA lobbies with the expertise of their members on various matters to football’s governing organisations. Representatives of the LMA now sit on various Football Association panels charged with helping to run the game in England.

John Pascarella, Coach, of Sporting Kansas City recently completed the course and wrote the following
“The course information is outstanding. It gives coaches some ideas on how to take your own style of play and then create KPI’s that apply to that given style. The benchmarks/statistics give us an idea of what to shoot for in relation to high level teams.
It has created some thought and ideas about what we want to do here in KC with the help of our IT/analysis people and the first step is generating some league-wide statistics to use as our benchmarks”
