Additionally, Yoomeedoo works to supply clubs across the amateur, junior, academy and professional elite level with what they need to perform better than ever.
Powering Yoomeedoo to support clubs and players is their FIFA certified GPS tracker – the Yoomedoo Sports Tracker v3.
The v3 Tracker
Situated in a skintight vest that fits under a team kit, the v3 is a lightweight and unobtrusive device, weighing only 36 grams. Through this, players can still compete at their best while the device is fully operational, allowing for premium data without compromising performance.
To provide players and clubs with a wide range of playing statistics, the v3 features the following:
- 10hz geolocation
- Accelerometer
- Gyroscope
- Pedometer
- Heartrate detection
- ECG reading
Through these features, the v3 is able to note down how players are efficiently and effectively players are moving around a pitch, as well as their biological readouts – casting a light on their physical fitness and areas where training can improve their future performances.
To receive the data, clubs and coaches can use a simple USB-C cord to download the v3’s information or they can use non-wired methods such as Bluetooth or Zigbee. The v3 features 4.0 and 5.0 Bluetooth low energy compatibility, allowing users to download stored data from a large variety of their own personal devices. Additionally, Bluetooth allows users to set up the tracker’s features without a wired connection.
Catering for a vast number of users, the v3’s Zigbee compatibility allows for users to provide live information to the tracker from up to 200 metres away.
After the data is downloaded, it can be accessed in easy-to-read data boards available on mobile phones and desktop. The boards can then be customised to a coach’s personal liking, streamlining the process of analysis. Furthermore, analysts can manipulate different metrics to suit their needs, increasing the capacity for greater interrogation of results to strengthen future game and training plans.

In a unique move, Yoomedoo not only provides trackers to clubs and players but has also moved into the real-life fantasy football market.
Through the company’s app, players can upload a profile of themselves that details key information about their footballing career. This profile is then uploaded to massive digital network where other players can see and learn about other athletes on the platform.
Profiles are rated and continually adjusted depending on player performance within games, allowing observers to see who the best players in the league are and who upcoming opposition clubs rely upon.
To inspire players to keep performing at their absolute peak, the Yoomedoo app features time-based challenges for players to complete in a race against their peers. Winning challenges can results in players earning impressive digital rewards.
