Playermaker tracks everything a GPS vest does — distance, speed, sprint count, and more — but adds what GPS can’t: true football technique analysis.
Mounted on your boots, Playermaker measures movement from its real source — your feet. This allows it to capture every touch, pass, turn, and kick with millisecond precision.
By combining physical data (distance, speed, intensity) with technical insight (technique quality, foot usage, ball control), Playermaker reveals how you perform — not just how much you move.
Its advanced algorithms deliver personalized feedback on your speed mechanics, change of direction, first touch, and overall technique — helping you train smarter and improve faster.
And because it’s powered by motion sensors (not GPS satellites), Playermaker works seamlessly indoors and outdoors, on any surface, anytime.
Playermaker’s 6-axis smart sensors sample 1,000 times per second, tracking impact, ball contact, and foot rotation with exceptional precision.
Independent scientific research from leading universities and sports performance labs has validated Playermaker’s data, showing up to 98% accuracy — often outperforming traditional GPS vest systems.
The system is FIFA Quality certified and trusted by some of the world’s top clubs, academies, and sports organizations, following rigorous testing and validation by elite sports scientists.
It even includes built-in self-checks to ensure data integrity — detecting incorrect mounting or sensor placement and automatically excluding inaccurate sessions.
Playermaker has a 6-hour session limit.
This is the maximum recording capacity for all recording modes.
Battery shows charge percentage in the app.
Charge fully before each session for best results.
Technical Metrics
Playermaker captures every ball-related action - touches, passes, releases, including:
- Ball touches (total, by foot, by type)
- Time on the ball and release time
- Foot zones used for release
- Dribbling frequency and turns with the ball
- Kicking power and shooting speed

- Acceleration / deceleration count
- Work rate (distance per minute)
- Changes in direction (volume and intensity)
Your data is translated into a personalized Match Score and Spider Skill Chart, built from millions of benchmarked performances worldwide.
Scores (40–99) show how you rank by age, gender, and position, helping you visualize strengths and improvement areas.
As you record more matches, your scores evolve — reflecting your real development over time.
Yes, Playermaker tracks:
- Number of possessions

No — you don’t need your phone to start or end a session.
Playermaker sensors start recording automatically when you take them out of the charging case and stop when you put them back in.
They’ll sync all session data the next time they’re near your mobile.
Advanced AI algorithms automatically filter out any irrelevant or idle time, so only your real activity is analysed.
Just charge, wear, play — Playermaker does the rest.
Sessions record automatically while you play.
When your sensors come within Bluetooth range of your phone, the data syncs automatically—no buttons needed.
Just make sure Bluetooth is on. You’ll see your full analysis in the app once sync completes.
Yes, but with conditions to keep everyone’s data clean and accurate. Multiple players can use the same device as long as:
- Each player has their own valid membership and app profile.
- The device is only used by one player at a time.
- When switching players, the previous user must ensure their data is fully synced and then unpair the sensors from their account.
- The next player then pairs the sensors with their own profile before using them.
This process preserves each player’s individual performance history and prevents data mixing between users.
Yes, Playermaker keeps learning and improving with every game you play, continuously enhancing your experience with new analytics, insights, and app updates. An active membership ensures seamless data syncing, processing, and reporting — so your performance tracking always stays accurate and up to date. Without an active plan, you’ll still have access to your historical data and past reports, but you won’t be able to record or sync new sessions until the plan is reactivated.
Membership starts upon sensor activation.

Playermaker works both indoors and outdoors, so you can use it anywhere you train or play. Unlike GPS trackers that sit on your chest and mainly measure running distance and top speed, Playermaker is mounted directly on your shoes, capturing every touch, pass, turn, and kick with precision. By tracking data from the true source of motion - your feet - Playermaker doesn’t just measure the volume and intensity of your actions, it also evaluates your technique. This unique ability helps you not only understand how much and how hard you perform, but also how well you execute, giving you clear guidance to improve both your physical and technical game.
Playermaker tracks both technical and physical performance, providing a complete picture of your game. It records your ball touches, passing, shooting, dribbling, first touch, two-footed use, and kicking velocity, as well as distance covered, sprints, accelerations, decelerations, power, intensity, and more.
At the core of Playermaker’s AI technology is the ability to accurately measure the profile of every step you take, and to detect and classify every ball touch. This step-level and touch-level accuracy is what powers all of Playermaker’s data, making it possible to capture not just how much you do, but also how you perform each action. After every session, all of this data is sent to the app, where you can review your performance, track your progress over time, and benchmark yourself against players at your age and level.
Yes. Playermaker has been used by thousands of players, from grassroots to professionals, in full training sessions and matches without any disruption or risk to performance. After three years of rigorous lab and field testing with professional players under the highest standards, Playermaker was awarded FIFA certification for both data quality and safety, confirming its reliability and comfort at every level of the game.
