Is Tracking Data: Calculate Open Passing Lanes a good fit for high school students in Grades 9-12?

Tracking Data: Calculate Open Passing Lanes is a good fit for students in grades 9-12 who are interested in which player reaches open space first and the value of a pass. CIT offers online or in-person lessons in Apgujeong, Gangnam, Seoul, in one-to-one or small-group formats. Students make an animated pass scene, a Pitch Control web app with adjustable assumptions, and a sensitivity report comparing three scenes.

Starting from a Metrica sample match, students sync the event file with both teams' tracking files on one match clock, convert positions to meters, and calculate player speeds. They compare when players and the ball can reach each spot to build a Pitch Control map of which team is likely to get there first, then weigh the actual pass against alternative passes by success chance and attacking value. A web app with adjustable reaction time, top speed, and ball speed, plus a sensitivity report, shows how the recommendations shift when the assumptions change. The student sets their own question, then designs and tests a feature, model, interface, or solution of their own. In an application or interview, the student separates the material they drew on from their own decisions, results, failed attempts, revisions, and limits.

From open research to student-owned work

Students inspect a relevant public source, reproduce the idea, then add an original question, feature, or test. Every source is public, and each lesson names the exact page it opens.

How can I explain this course to my child?

If questions about which player reaches open space first or the value of a pass keep making you ask why, Tracking Data: Calculate Open Passing Lanes lets you investigate the question with evidence, then build and defend an extension of your own.

Which interests suggest this course?

  • which player reaches open space first
  • the value of a pass
  • how assumptions change a model

What does the student finish?An animated pass scene, a Pitch Control web app with adjustable assumptions, and a sensitivity report comparing three scenes.

Is this a good fit?

A strong fit for students who want to understand, build, test, or responsibly use AI systems.

Course placement follows current subject and coding readiness.

Students should be ready to document sources, methods, and limits.

Advanced tools are introduced after a clear baseline.

What will my child learn?

  1. Link the event file and both tracking files at the same match moments and get speed by dividing distance by time.
  2. Estimate each player's arrival time from reaction time and top speed and compare it with the ball's travel time.
  3. Compare the actual pass with alternative targets by success chance and next attacking value.
  4. Change one assumption at a time and record which recommendations shift and which conclusions hold.

How does the course progress?

  1. 1
    Position, Time, and Speed

    Link event and tracking files, convert coordinates to meters, and calculate and smooth player speeds.

  2. 2
    The Chance of Reaching Space First

    Compare player and ball arrival times, by hand and in code, to estimate which team controls each spot.

  3. 3
    Pass Choice and Attacking Value

    Place candidate targets around the actual pass and compare safe passes with passes that add attacking value.

  4. 4
    Adjustable-Assumption Web App and Validation

    Build a web app for changing reaction time and speeds, then report results and limits across three scenes.

Students documenting and explaining hands-on work at CIT

What counts as useful evidence?

An animated pass scene, a Pitch Control web app with adjustable assumptions, and a sensitivity report comparing three scenes.

What should an admissions reader be able to see?

The student sets their own question, then designs and tests a feature, model, interface, or solution of their own. In an application or interview, the student separates the material they drew on from their own decisions, results, failed attempts, revisions, and limits.

Useful evidence may include a documented dataset, baseline comparison, model evaluation, error analysis, and a clear record of the student's own decisions.

The evidence an application reads is what the student understood, completed, and can explain.

Systems Lens

The real research project this course reads

The student changes one assumption over a match's coordinate data and sees how far the reading of space moves. In class the project is separated into five boxes (input, memory, process, output, control). The lesson opens one of them, changes one value, and leaves the rest closed.

  • InputWhat comes in?

    The two kinds of raw file that arrive for one match: the position log and the event log

  • Memoryopened hereWhat persists?

    A table where, twenty five times a second, the coordinates of twenty two players and the ball are written down as they were

  • ProcessWhat transforms?

    The computation that works out which team reaches which space first is not in the data; the student writes it

  • OutputWhat leaves, and who uses it?

    The shaded pitch and the comparison of passing options are also made by the student

  • ControlWhat decides when anything runs?

    Which moment gets recomputed, and when, is decided by the student's program

The 4 files this lesson opens, named and grouped by box

The files the lesson opens, by name. The course is not a walk through the repository; it opens a chosen few and says which.

The figure showing assumed top speed moving, and what gets watched

One value moves and everything else stays. The right-hand column is the prediction written before the run, not a result; the work is reconciling the two.

I appreciated that a simple early idea was extended into an 'AI debate tool'. My child has always been interested in debate and social issues, so seeing that interest connect to the project makes me expect a more complete and distinctive result.
