Huntington Beach, CA (September 17, 2020) – Trace is excited to announce a partnership with Niagara International FC (NIFC). Trace will be used within the NIFC program to offer an enhanced data-driven approach to player development that aligns with the club’s values. Teams will be using Trace year-round, with access to Trace iD and Trace Workshops for every team at a special rate.
“NIFC is very excited to partner with Trace. As technology advances the beautiful game, so too must teams and players incorporate it into their sporting lives,” said André Pacheco, the Niagara International FC President. “We pride ourselves in offering a professional environment at the youth level and this sets the bar for the club. Trace allows us to provide game footage and analysis through simple and effective ai video tracking for our players and parents. Players will now have more opportunity to learn, develop, and get the attention of college recruiters with Trace.”
With the continued and now extended strain on traveling and in-person recruiting caused by COVID-19, it is now more important than ever for clubs to invest in video and technology to give their players the best advantages possible.
