Small Sensor. Large Impact.

Give your player the tools to truly understand their game. By tracking movement directly from the feet, Playermaker soccer trackers capture a precise profile of every step and identify every interaction with the ball. It captures how players move, touch, pass, and strike with each foot - using technology and data validated by FIFA, leading soccer clubs, and top universities worldwide.

  • Built for the Season: Waterproof, durable silicone straps that fit securely on any youth or adult shoe.
  • Play Anywhere: Works seamlessly for outdoor grass, turf, and indoor futsal - no GPS required.
  • Zero Distractions: Ultra-lightweight (under 0.3 oz) and practically invisible on the shoe, so they stay fully focused on the game.

Unlike back-mounted wearables, this product enables further-reaching insights into performance and medical disciplines due to the position on the boot generating data on the lower limbs. It shows promise to being a cost-efficient alternative for individual and team data collection and in simplifying analysis, thus contributing to making tracking technologies available across more levels of football.

FIFA INNOVATION PROGRAM

At academy level, objective data gives us another layer alongside what we see as coaches. It helps players better understand their own performance, identify specific areas to improve, and track their development over time. The value is in combining good coaching with clear, individual feedback that players can actually act on.

Ethan is extremely competitive, especially with himself, so Playermaker clicked with him almost immediately. Once he realised he could compare his sessions and see whether he was improving, it became part of his routine. He’ll come home from training, sync the sensors and look through the session before he even takes his boots off. If his intensity was lower than normal or he didn’t use his left foot enough, he notices it straight away. What I’ve liked most is seeing the change in his mindset. A year ago, getting better basically meant ‘train more.’ Now he thinks much more specifically about what getting better actually means.

When we first bought Playermaker, I thought Oliver would mainly be interested in seeing how fast he ran or how many touches he had. What surprised me was how quickly it changed the way he thought about training. He started looking at the sessions where he played well and comparing them with the ones where he felt he hadn’t been involved enough. He could actually see the difference in his work rate and how much he was using each foot. One thing we noticed was that he was relying heavily on his right foot, so that became something he started working on by himself in the garden and before training.

FAQS

Playermaker is designed for soccer players of all ages starting from 8 years old. From pro players, to semi-pro, and grassroots, Playermaker supports them all. With straps sized for both kids and adults, it’s built to fit every player and help them track and improve their game. Notably, 40% of our users are female players, reflecting the company’s commitment to serving and empowering the entire soccer community.

Playermaker turns every session into measurable progress by tracking both your technical skills and physical performance. Each week, the system sets personalized Targets based on Optimal Actions — the high-intensity, high-quality movements that matter most, such as high-speed running, turns, and first touches. The principle is simple: as the volume of high-intensity actions performed with precise technique increases, consistent improvement follows.

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.

No - the sensors are lightweight, waterproof, and sit securely in soft silicone straps that attach to your soccer shoes. They’re designed to feel natural, so once you start playing you won’t even notice them.

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.
