ABSTRACT
The best way to appreciate the intricacies of notational analysis is to examine systems for the sport(s) in which you are interested, or sports that are similar. The explanations and analyses are completed by beginners in notational analysis; coaches of these sports should not therefore be irritated at some of the simplistic levels of analysis for the respective sports. The encouraging aspects about these examples are the amounts of information that the systems provide – even the simplest of these. Examples 8.2.1-8.2.2 are for individual sports, while examples 8.3.1-8.3.4 are for team games. More examples can be found in Notational Analysis of Sport by Hughes and Franks (1997; 2nd edition 2004).
