Flagship public product

DPA Web 2.4

Free & public

DPA gives a coaching group one working surface for video review and structured match analysis. Load local footage, open a YouTube video, or work beside an embedded external provider; set the match periods, choose a pitch zone, record the event, and build an evidence trail that the whole backroom team can review.

  • Review by match period: set first half, second half and extra-time periods, then analyse the correct phase of the game.
  • Tag video with location: record events against a 21-cell pitch grid and Home/Away perspective.
  • Use your own terminology: manage event templates so the capture model fits the team, code or analysis objective.
  • Protect the work: autosave, save a session, resume later and retain event history instead of starting again.
  • Move evidence onward: export structured events for reporting, review meetings and further analysis.

The free Sidelinecut toolkit

From match day to the review room.

DPA leads the analysis workflow. These three free public tools extend it: capture events live, keep an installable offline match record, and turn exported data into a printable report. Use one tool on its own or combine them around your existing coaching process.

Free & public

Stats App

An installable, offline-first match-day app for recording score, clock, pitch location and team events. Configure the event template, save matches on the device, review reports and keep working even when connectivity is poor.

Best for: a sideline analyst or selector who needs a dependable match-day capture tool on a phone, tablet or laptop.

Open Stats App Free & public

Live Grid Stats

Fast browser-based event capture built around a 3×7 pitch grid. Track score and clock, select Home or Away, adapt event templates, inspect the event log and export match data without installing an app.

Best for: quick live coding, trials, training games and teams that want a simple shared event model.

Open Live Grid Stats Free & public

Free Match Report

Load exported match data and create a clean, printable report with match summaries, event totals, team comparisons and pitch heatmaps. Print it or save it as a PDF for the coaching group.

Best for: turning the analyst's raw capture into a clear management or player-review document.

Build a Match Report

Built for the full backroom team

One match. A shared body of evidence.

Sidelinecut is designed to support coaching judgement, not replace it. The tools help different members of a GAA setup work from the same tagged moments, pitch locations, match phases and reports instead of relying on memory alone.

C

Coaches

Revisit the exact passages behind a tactical point, connect video to location and event type, and prepare a more focused review or training message.

M

Management

Create a consistent review process across matches, keep analysis sessions organised and bring concise evidence into planning meetings.

S

Selectors

Return to key phases and repeated patterns, compare what happened in context and contribute to selection discussion with visible match evidence.

A

Analysts

Use configurable event models, period controls, pitch zones, session recovery and structured exports to build a repeatable workflow.

A connected coaching workflow

Capture. Review. Communicate.

The tools are deliberately modular. Capture during the match with Stats App or Live Grid Stats, examine the video in DPA, then create a Free Match Report for the next meeting. The result is a clearer path from what happened on the pitch to what the coaching team discusses next.

1

Capture the match

Record score, clock, team, event and pitch zone using the public live tools.

2

Review the video in DPA

Tag the critical moments against the correct match period and location.

3

Share the evidence

Export structured data or produce a printable report for management and players.

Controlled-release tools

Advanced tagging and browser video cutting.

Tag and Cut remain password-protected for authorised users. They support the wider Sidelinecut workflow but are presented separately from the free public products.

Protected

Tag

Record timed events against local video or a supported external source, manage event types, edit the latest event, save and restore sessions, and export grouped event files.

Open Tag Protected

Cut

Build MP4 clips and multi-clip reels from match footage directly in the browser. Import event files, preserve audio and choose a clear output name without uploading the source video to Sidelinecut.

Introduction

See Sidelinecut in action.

Watch the short introduction for an overview of the Sidelinecut approach and how browser-based tools can support a coaching and performance-analysis workflow.

The public tools can be opened directly from this page. DPA works best on a laptop or desktop with a modern browser.

Why browser-based tools

Practical, private and easy to introduce.

Start with the part of the workflow your team needs today. There is no requirement to replace every existing process at once.

Local-first privacy

Local match files are handled in the browser. They are not uploaded to Sidelinecut for DPA, reporting or browser cutting.

Open and start

The public tools require no account or specialist installation. Open them in a modern browser and begin.

GAA-aware workflows

Match periods, Home/Away perspective, score, event templates and a 21-zone pitch model support real GAA analysis work.

Structured outputs

Save sessions, export event data and create reports that can be reviewed beyond the person who performed the analysis.

Flexible video sources

DPA supports local footage, YouTube and embedded external video workflows, including manual clock alignment where a provider cannot be controlled.

Shared coaching language

Configurable templates help the analyst, coaches, management and selectors review the match using the same event definitions.
