1. A system for creating and viewing indexed video snippets of a series of shots toward a goal comprising:
at least one sensor proximate the goal directly connected to a microprocessor, said microprocessor configured to record a triggering event responsive to a ball-shooting detection of at least one of said series of shots toward the goal, by said at least one sensor;
electronic times that represent timing by said microprocessor of said triggering event responsive to the ball-shooting detection by at said least one sensor of at least one of said series of shots toward the goal;
one or more video recordings captured by at least one recording source;
starting times and stopping times, identified from said electronic times, corresponding to a start of each shot and an end of each shot for said one or more video recordings;
wherein said at least one sensor measures the ball passing through the goal generating a goal datum, or the ball not passing through the goal generating a miss datum;
wherein said starting times and said stopping times are utilized for editing of said one or more video recordings and said edited video recordings are associated with corresponding said sensor-measured goal datum/miss datum; associated portions are stored as separate video snippets.
