Working with soccer stats & stat rules

Rewind to our on-demand statistical best practices and stats rules webinar series

Originally airing on October 18, 2023, this expert-led webinar from our CSC Statistics and Stat Rules Series remains a valuable resource for athletic communications professionals well underway with soccer season.

This repurposed content features leading college soccer statisticians sharing practical guidance on pregame preparation, in-game scoring, and applying the rules of the game to produce reliable statistics.

This video features a discussion and insights on:

• Understanding college soccer rules and how to score them correctly
• Preparing stat crews, assigning roles, coordinating with your opponent SID, and resolving roster or uniform number issues
• Meeting NCAA requirements for roster and schedule accuracy, statistical reporting, and mid-season updates
• Using proper in-game scoring techniques, including entering starters, verifying plays, and recording essential statistics
• Clarifying key definitions such as own goals, shots versus shots on goal, crosses versus pass attempts, and how to define an assist
• Troubleshooting unusual plays and ensuring stat accuracy during live action
• Communicating effectively post-match when editing game files and collaborating with fellow SIDs
