Beyond the Box Score: Track Soccer Passing Stats Like a Pro with Hudl Assist+
With Hudl Assist+, you can easily get the full story on your soccer team’s passing stats.
When it comes to core skills in soccer, you don’t get much more basic than passing. But it’s also one of the best indicators of your team’s chances of winning their games. Players need to not only be able to receive a pass, but also complete one. That’s where pass completion rate comes in.
It doesn’t stop there though. Every player can pass backwards—it’s easy when you have the numbers behind you. But what happens to your team’s completion rate when they turn forward and start to play down the field? Really good players can win the ball and pass the ball forward—do you know who on your team is the best at that?
With Assist+, it’s easy to find out.
Why You Need Pass Completion Rate in Soccer
Assist+ tracks every player who made and received a pass, then does the math to tell you their individual completion rate. You’ll also see your team’s entire completion rate, across every game.
But with Assist+, it’s not just a number. You can also see exactly where those passes occurred—both successful and unsuccessful. Who made the pass, the direction it went and who received it. You can look at the angle, the shape of every pass.
With this stat, you can show your players exactly how accurate they are when it comes to passing. They can see it in black and white—or rather, HD, crystal clear footage (especially if you’re using one of Hudl’s sports cameras to record). You can see their decision-making under pressure. With just a few clicks, you can look at their successful passes going forward, going from the back to middle third, and the middle to front third. And what about horizontally across the field? A player who can consistently open space is someone you want to start.
Speaking of, when it comes to comparing players against one another—especially players who might be competing to start in the same position—you can make the decision easy by checking out their passing percentages.
This stat can provide an enormous amount of information for your soccer game analysis. And Assist+ hand delivers it to you and your players.
Maybe that player completed 95% of their passes, and they were almost all horizontal. That could be your biggest asset in the midfield. Or maybe a player only completed 60% of their passes. Each horizontal pass was completed but when they tried to play vertically they didn’t do as well. Now you know what to work on next practice.
