Houston Dynamo Academy Links with Statzpack

Leading MLS Franchise to Use StatzSoccer to Strengthen Player Development

October 5, 2009 -- Statzpack, the European based company making team stats simple, last week announced an agreement with the Houston Dynamo, its first Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise in the USA. The Houston Dynamo have established themselves as a leading club in the MLS, reinforced by their launch of the youth academy in 2007.

"I can see how clubs at the grassroots and non professional levels could embrace a system like this. With the help of the team at Statzpack we got up and running very quickly and it's simple to use." says Houston Dynamo Youth Development Director, James Clarkson. "It beats pen and paper and is very affordable. StatzSoccer allows me to track and record data that we can feed back into our training sessions or share with the team in general."

Statzpack launched their Soccer product in August with significant interest from clubs and teams around the world. Teams simply record stats by iPod or iPhone touch, and the data makes its way to a website where it is graphically presented on a simple-to-use 'click and play' dashboard system. The company boasts English, Irish, Dutch, Canadian and now American professional clubs in its user base.
