Playermaker CITYPLAY soccer cleat tracker for youth, Size 1.5-10.5 M, records 25+ metrics and Manchester City drills

CITYPLAY is a lightweight, cleat-mounted soccer tracker by Playermaker that records 25+ soccer-specific metrics, delivers Manchester City training tips, and syncs with an app for year-long performance analysis.

Designed for young players and grassroots academies, the CITYPLAY Smart Soccer Tracker sits on your cleat to capture foot-centric movement data that traditional GPS devices miss. It combines precision sensors, coaching content from Manchester City, and community benchmarking so players, parents and coaches can track technical progress, compare results, and plan focused practice sessions.

How does CITYPLAY measure technical skills during matches and training?

The sensor attaches to the cleat and records foot contact, ball touches, release zones, speed bursts and directional changes with high frequency. This foot-level perspective generates metrics that reveal first-touch quality, two-foot usage and dribbling patterns—insights not available from chest- or wrist-mounted devices.

• Over 25 soccer-specific metrics including foot release zones and touch counts
• High-sample-rate inertial sensors for accurate contact detection
• Separate left/right sensor data to track two-footed development
• Match and training session logs with time-stamped events

What coaching support and content come with the tracker?

Cityplay includes curated coaching drills and progress tips from Manchester City staff, with practice recommendations personalized to the metrics you record. The app turns data into actionable training targets so players can focus on weaknesses and repeat successful drills.

• Manchester City expert drills and practice plans
• Automatic practice suggestions based on recent metrics
• Player cards that highlight strengths and areas to improve
• Video and text coaching cues to guide solo or group sessions

How does CITYPLAY support progress tracking and comparison?

The platform provides season-long analytics, trends and benchmarks that let players compare progress over time and measure up against peers globally. Coaches and scouts can use the data to spot improvements, consistent patterns, and players who stand out.

• Longitudinal charts showing improvement in technical metrics
• JPL Leaderboards and global benchmarking across ages and levels
• Exportable reports for coaches and talent ID purposes
• Community comparisons to motivate training and set goals

What’s included and how do I choose the right fit?
