Your Team and Player
After log in you will see i) a list of teams associated with your organisation (club/school) ii) a list of children associated with the team.
​
These have been set up for you already having received informed consent from parents and players.
Children will work in pairs to MAP their skills.
One child acts as the performer and one acts as the recorder.

Skill & Tutorial
Click on a skill to MAP. After clicking on the skill, the users will proceed to a skill tutorial. The perfromer will watch the animation and get ready to perform the skill in a similar way. Their recroder will also watch and prepare to 'coach' the performer or give 'tips' if needed.

MAPPING Skills
The recorder switches the front facing camera on. The phone is positioned on a tripod, or at hip height rested on a bench or chair etc. The Performer positions their body so that their feet ar on the green line with some room above their head.
​
The recorder presses the 'red record button'.
​
The performer waits for the countdown then performs the skill.
​
Once the skill is complete, the recorder presses 'Stop' and saves the 'recording'.
​
Repeat this 4 more times, then MAP a a new skill.

Data Collection
It is importnat to know that the recorder does not take videos or images. Instead, MAP places an invisible skeleton on the performer's body and MAPs their movement using anonymised coordinates associated with their movement.
​
These coordinates are used to MAP skill level and provide aggregated feedback on skills to teams and organisations
