![]() The sizing guide above is for wearing the vest under the jersey. The Smartvest can also be worn over the shirt as well in training but not in games. It’s not advisable to get a vest size that a player will “grow into”, Catapult recommends a tight fit so a loose vest doesn’t shift and bother a player in the middle of play. You can purchase the PLAYR vest separately from the tracker so a player can get a new vest and continue to use the same SmartPod as they grow.Ĭurrent data protection laws are written so that players under the age of 13 aren’t allowed to use the app even with parent consent. This means if your player is younger than 13 then when you create the player profile in the app you’ll have to enter an age of at least 13 to be able to continue. If your player is 16 or younger they’ll need parent/guardian permission to download/use the PLAYR app. The SmartPod tracker doesn’t need a phone around to work, it activates when the device is dropped into the vest. There’s a mangetised strip in the vest that turns the tracker on when you slide it into the vest and turns it off when you remove the device. This means it doesn’t work with the PlayerTek vests, it has to be used with the PLAYR vest.Ĭatapult Sports also makes the OptimEye tracker that professional teams use to monitor their athletes. The PLAYR SmartCoach uses the expertise that Catapult has developed for pros and makes it available to soccer families. The OptimEye player tracking system is designed for teams and sports scientists but the PLAYR tracking system is built to give feedback to individual players. Passionate soccer players have a hard time saying no to invites to guest play or to more opportunities to play soccer. Wearing the PLAYR tracker gives you an idea of how all those training sessions and games add up and the SmartCoach app uses artificial intelligence to give players feedback on all the hours they’re logging on the pitch. Your player slides the SmartPod into the back of the Smartvest, typically worn under their jersey. When the SmartPod is in place the tracking is activated. Once the game or training session is over the player takes off the vest and removes the tracking device. At that point the SmartCoach app on your phone syncs with the GPS device via Bluetooth. One thing to note, your phone doesn’t need to be nearby or turned on for the tracking to occur. ![]() ![]() The SmartPod will capture the data without the phone, then later on you can open the SmartCoach app and sync the data. We bring this up because one hassle of the Zepp soccer alternative is that you need the phone there and the app open to begin the tracking. After the training session or game is over you have to manually tell the device to stop. In addition, you have to be in range of the Zepp tracker to start the tracking. ![]()
