These are the soccer-specific sensors that I am aware of that are in the market or soon to be available. Keeping your players on the pitch is obviously the key to winning at the top level, so that was great to hear," he says. The coaches’ app shows more team metrics and allows the coach to monitor and analyse every player’s performance over time.

Regardless of the player’s level, access to the Playermaker platform requires a monthly subscription which can be paid upfront for 12 months or 24 months. Recording the data in this way also allows an analyst to quickly spot if there’s a problem with one of the GPS vests that is preventing it from working. Like all the sensors covered above, these ones connect to the Playermaker app via Bluetooth and data can be synced/downloaded after each session.Help them train like the pros and prove to coaches they have what it takes to be the best with a PlayerData GPS performance tracker. The new lightweight, quick drying, soft touch fabric is seamless to avoid chafing and maximum comfort. But I’ve been playing every Saturday morning for six seasons now, originally as a centre-back but more recently as a centre-forward.

Connectivity/App: The Footbar smartphone app is used to connect to the sensor (via Bluetooth), turn on the sensor, sync the sensor data after each game/session, analyse the data and let the user monitor their progress. With clubs able to see how much distance players cover in a game, what speeds they reach and how often they break into a sprint over the 90 minutes, they simply can’t get away with taking it easy. The two main drawbacks are that users need the STATSports magnetic Heat Rate monitor to record heart rate and the Sports GPS Tracker vest cannot be used the inside. My guess is that every sensor product will have its own proprietary approach to how they determine what combination of sensor signals means which movement. Metrics captured include Total Distance, Max Speeds, High Speed Running, Intensity and Strain levels.Analyse your stats and improve your game with the STATSports Youth Athlete Series GPS Performance Tracker in Black, the world’s most powerful football GPS tracker.

For ‘Soccer’ metrics, they provide the Heat map and interactions with the ball (ball strikes, kick force/power and ball possessions). They have developed a user platform (app) for players and there is also one for coaches to manage their players/team and teams can purchase a team version. Answering these questions is at the heart of empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their training focus and routines and ultimately allowing individuals to unlock their full performance potential.

The CATAPULT PlayerTek Football/Soccer GPS tracker is CATAPULTs cheaper of the CATAPULT GPS Sports tracker range. In addition, the Next11 system includes an instrumented ball that tracks its position on the field and who has the ball, so teams have an accurate picture of ball possession and related stats. This kind of physical tracking data has long been collected by companies such as Prozone, while a more recent development has seen clubs using GPS vests to track their players’ workload and intensity in training, too. They do this by collecting a player’s training and performance data on and off the pitch, interpreting that data and identifying areas where individual players can improve or where their strengths are. One thing I noticed about Zepp is that they have been acquired by Huami (the wearable division of Xiaomi) back in 2018.

Catapult is particularly active in the American market and although teams across the globe wear GPS technology, the companies providing the technology tend to be stronger in some regions than others.
