Samuel Ryder Sports Academy elevates sports performance with PitcheroGPS Team Bundle
Samuel Ryder Academy is taking its sports program to the next level by adopting the PitcheroGPS Team Bundle, a cutting-edge player tracking system approved by FIFA and World Rugby for use in our football, rugby and netball programmes. The trackers are set to revolutionise the way players train and compete.
Matthew Pope, Director of Elite Sport, commented, "As a new academy on the scene, we wanted to provide our students with the best possible feedback. The GPS trackers are part of that package. The players are really excited... In last week's match analysis, we played the video back and looked at the data alongside. From my point of view, the system is very instinctive… I've had a very positive experience so far.”

Samuel Ryder Football Academy supports current Watford FC players in training towards their UEFA coaching badges
Football players from our Sports Academy program recently supported current Watford FC players Daniel Bachman, Tom Ince and Mattie Pollock in training towards their UEFA coaching badges.
Our students were challenged throughout the afternoon with a number of training drills targeting key aspects of the modern game, each delivered by a different professional.
This was a fantastic opportunity for these players and another example of how our Sports Academy pathway works collaboratively with our professional teams to gain insight and experience of elite sport.
The players gained so much from this experience and having impressed with their enthusiasm, attitude and ability, have been invited back later in this term to support another group of professional players.
