“There are three things that make SF Glens Evolution so special, (1) the people who work and run the organization care about the club, (2) there is a commitment to developing young footballers and giving them opportunities and (3) the community that has been built around the club. These will be the keys to the long term success of the club” |
PERFORMANCE DATA ANALYSIS PROGRAM
SFGE will be incorporating technology into our player development through data tracking and analytics. Each player in our Celtic Academy program u12 and older receive feedback throughout the season and a player scorecard at the end of the season. The scorecard gives the players all the data over a minimum of 3 games. This valuable tool is used to see where exactly the player is underperforming and excelling.
It is also a great resource for the club to track team performances which helps to provide feedback to the coaches. Data tracking and analytics is a fantastic resource to have in addition to our coaching staff and specialists.
