Handball matches generate a huge amount of information in a short time: shot locations, shot types, attack phases, goalkeeper saves, turnovers, suspensions, and key contexts like equal strength, power play, or short-handed situations. When this data is captured inconsistently, analysis becomes slow, subjective, and difficult to reuse.
That’s exactly why I created Handball Tagger.
What is Handball Tagger?
Handball Tagger is my personal application that helps me capture match events in a structured way and instantly turn them into a professional report.
I created a personal application that allows me to tag match events either live or after the game, and then automatically generate a detailed PDF match report.
How it works
The workflow is simple and built for real coaching needs:
- Tag events during the match (live) or after the match (deferred analysis)
- Standardize actions so the data stays clean and consistent
- Automatically compute KPIs for teams, players, and goalkeepers
- Export a complete multi-page PDF report ready to share
What the PDF report includes:
The report is designed to support both quick decisions and deeper analysis:
Match Overview
- Match identity and score context
- High-level summary for archiving and sharing
Team Performance Dashboard
- Side-by-side team comparison across key indicators
- Efficiency, goals, turnovers, recovered balls, goalkeeper impact, and more
Player Statistics
- Full player table with output, efficiency, turnovers, and discipline
- Clear overview for staff discussions and player feedback
Goalkeeper Analysis:
- Save rate and performance breakdowns
- Insights by shot origin / position to identify patterns
Shot Distribution by Player:
- Individual shot-zone grids
- Player preferences and finishing outcomes for scouting and development
Tactical Breakdown:
- Phase efficiency (positional attack, fast break, 7m, etc.)
- Shooting breakdown by attack type (wing, breakthrough, pivot, long shot, fast break, 7m)
- Efficiency by numerical situation (equal strength, power play, short-handed)
- Discipline (cards, suspensions)
- Performance vs defensive systems (ex: 6-0, 5-1)
Match Momentum:
- Score difference evolution across match time
- Helps identify turning points and decisive sequences
Why it matters:
Handball Tagger helps me turn match data into something immediately usable:
- Faster post-match debriefs based on facts, not impressions
- Better tactical preparation and scouting with shot profiles and system analysis
- Stronger individual feedback with consistent metrics
- Professional reporting without manual spreadsheets and hours of formatting
