"I have not seen any reports on that yet. You could do a simple survey by going to Itunes and looking up soccer coach apps and see how many times the have been downloaded to give you some basic round numbers."

Geoff Noonan said… Hi Tim
Thanks for the message on joining. I know a big delay! We have been in process of our Academy being audited so has been a crazy 5 months. A first for English football to have this system done, with full results in September, a challenge for all English Academies to raise the bar and look at how we do things.

A mention by Robin Russell, excellent. Yes Statzpack at its core is a simple to use notational analysis system for soccer. So if you are looking to observe and record certain playing behaviour/outcomes (not just who scored, shots etc), its good for that too. You can effectively customise what you tag/record - even simple '+ & -' .
We did some work with a premier league team back in 2009, and when they couldnt avail of prozone, they used a basic Positive and Negative measure scale - where they had a defined set of behaviors/events which were deemed to be either or.
In the US, some coaches are using the system to track the performance evaluation criteria set out in the US Soccer curriculum.

Tim - thanks for the note. 100%, not here to self promote. This is a great site.
Yes I will be in Kansas. Would be great to meet up. We will be joining the USASA.
We carried out a research piece with the NSCAA this year looking at the use of stats in the US soccer coaching community. Will post something soon.

Jen Mavis said… Thanks for the welcome and the information Tim! I'm just trying to explore, educate and research so that I can bring the best possible product to Northern Nevada. I look forward to everything that soccerinteractive.com has to offer! I've already found some valuable information and would be completely interested in any educational webinars or eLearning that you offer. It's a bit difficult to find local resources and soccerinteractive makes it easier to connect with those with greater experience than I. Thanks again! Look for my other coaches signing up in the near future!

Yes Tim, though I am also trying to find out how to create my own custom practice session plan, bringing in available activities. Also it would be nice if there was a way if I was working with someone from Soccerplus, to be able to share custom sessions.
Cheers,

Tony Kees said… - Tim,
Nothing new to report here in Chicago. So far we're lagging behind most of the MLS in home grown first team signings, but we're hoping that will change in the near future.
We're perhaps a little more selective than most about signing youth to professional contracts, but it's all relative. The youth system at the Fire is undergoing some positive changes to try and stay ahead of the youth development game.
More later!
