SOCCERBEE released their GPS tracker vest in 2019 and are an alternative to the STATSPORTS and CATAPULT GPS vests. Providing live tracking data, the ability to have Heart Rate tracking and both FIFA and World Rugby approved. On top of that, the user gets their own FIFA style player card with similar attributes, so they can have some friendly competition with their teammates.

For example, if a footballer/soccer player used a GPS sports tracker during a game, the GPS sports tracker would provide a map of where the footballer spent most of their time. 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.So when it comes to ‘ball possession metrics, I reckon having the Smart Ball will make it that much more accurate. Like many of the other products, Playermaker seems to have a focus on the youth soccer player market and semi-pro players who want to take their game to the next level.

They are GPS vests which track every movement a player makes on their pitch, recording their position and information about their speed and distance covered. Here, I am going to look at seven different sensor products that are designed to be worn on an athlete’s calf or feet, with the capability of tracking soccer-specific activities.

Used in conjunction with innovative data visualisation software, Stats Perform is providing clubs with a comprehensive resource for intelligently managing player load, both at the training ground and on match day. Consider which metrics you want to measure and your individual goals, and review the above chart to get a sense of which device best fits your development plan. It can provide overall team performance and the ability to compare performance against professional athletes. The vest is designed to hold a pod between the shoulder blades that contains a 10Hz GPS, an accelerometer and a magnetometer. All the data’s presented in user-friendly, sharable charts, making it easy to compare your performance with that of your mates or the thousands of elite players who use the STATSports app.

Connectivity/App: The Zepp Play Soccer app connects to the sensor via Bluetooth and users can use the app to sync/manage data from the sensor/s, monitor progress and capture video highlights. Our article on what makes a good coach also provides more advice on different strategies sports coaches use to improve performance. At Timperley Hockey Club, a prominent fixture in the England Hockey League Conference North, the introduction of the PitcheroGPS Team Bundle marked a significant step forward in training and performance.They have also partnered with some of their local football clubs/ facilities and event organisers so that players playing at those facilities or events can try out using the sensor. Users have the ability to get pro-style stats sent directly to their mobile phones, both during the session and post session too.
