In our initial Veo camera review we shared what we'd learned after about 50 outdoor games & practices recorded using the soccer camera. Now two months later and into the winter season we've used the soccer video camera for futsal training, futsal games, indoor soccer games, and even to record basketball games (tested it on a whim & the ai camera worked for basketball as well). Here are a few lessons learned that we picked up last weekend that had nothing to do with the camera [...]
This Sphero mini soccer review comes after we took the robot on a road trip with us to my middle daughter's soccer tournament. Our kids had a blast driving the Sphero mini soccer robot up and down the hotel hallways in between games and her siblings had fun driving it around on the sideline during her tournament games. The soccer robot is a really interesting gadget because it merges our love of soccer and technology. We've introduced our young soccer players to things like the LittleBits [...]

The DribbleUp Soccer Ball Guide is written for parents who are considering getting the smart ball as a soccer gift idea. Every year we get a lot of calls from grandparents and parents about how the ball works, if it's worth the money, and how to get it setup and the kid using the ball. We decided to put it all into one guide that would hopefully help answer those questions. We've been using the smart ball for about two years so we've head lots of [...]

Some of these are soccer video highlights and some are the full game footage. We've added an opening screen to most of them that shows the names of the teams playing and the league or tournament game that they're competing in.

When we saw the Veo camera at the United Soccer Coaches convention I knew that it would be great for our team and our club. The question I needed to answer at that point, was it worth the money? Veo Camera Cost There are 3 costs involved in using the Veo camera: Camera Cost Tripod Annual Subscription Fee The price varies a little depending on which tripod you choose and which subscription plan you pick.

The best video camera for soccer might be one that records soccer games for you, letting you watch the match rather than spending your time filming it. The Veo camera is a soccer tracking camera that uses artificial intelligence to pan and zoom smoothly to follow the ball around the field for you.

The best soccer training programs really make a mark on the players that use them. We had technical training last night and it was pretty obvious which players had consistently worked on their skills outside of practice and which ones hadn't. Many coaches encourage their players to go home and work on their foot skills but how many of them actually go into the backyard on their days off from training and work on their first touch or skill moves? We've found that players are more [...]
