A Visual Programming Language for Soccer

Abstract

The use of Information Technologies (IT) in high competition sports is an instrument often used. However, the majority of the performers, including technical teams, do not have skills to program those IT tools to their needs. In this paper we present a visual programming language that allows the user without programming expertise to produce complex programs by drawing them on a web application, and we illustrated the development of this visual programming tool by applying it to situations from a soccer game. Although, this tool can be applied to other collective ball sports.
