Sports and technology have always co-operated to bring better and more specific sports statistics. The collection of sports game data as well as the ability to generate valuable sports statistics of it is growing. This thesis investigates the development of a sports statistics application that should be able to collect sports game data, structure the data according to suitable data models and show statistics in a proper way. The application was set to be a web application that was developed using modern web technologies. This purpose led to a comparison of different software stack solutions and web frameworks. A theoretical study of sports analytics was also conducted, which gave a foundation for how sports data could be stored and how valuable sports statistics could be generated. The resulting design of the prototype for the sports statistics application was evaluated. Interviews with persons working in sports contexts evaluated the prototype to be both user-friendly, functional and fulfilling the purpose to generate valuable statistics during sport games.
