Why Speed Data Changes Everything in Youth Football
Traditional coaching relies on observation and instinct. Radar-based measurement gives coaches objective, repeatable data that reveals what the eye misses.
Track progress without invasive video and cameras. Real numbers. Real improvement. Real privacy.
Every child is different. Our index gives a clear, objective picture across six key physical dimensions — so you always know where to focus.
Peak velocity measured across short distances. Understand how fast your child can move when it matters.
How quickly a child reaches top speed from standing. A key marker for explosive athletic potential.
Kick speed, throw velocity, and striking power — precise measurement of how hard and accurately a child can propel a ball.
Reaction time from stimulus to movement onset. Trained reflexes are a hallmark of elite young athletes.
Static and dynamic stability tracking. Strong balance correlates directly with injury prevention and sports confidence.
Vertical and horizontal leap measurements. Jump metrics reveal lower-body power and neuromuscular coordination.
Our radar can track up to 60 people simultaneously - without cameras or video footage.
Our algorithms turn raw radar output into clear sporting insights — sprint times, acceleration curves, jump heights, and more.
No images are created at any point. The radar produces only positional data — children are never photographed or filmed.
From setup to delivery in four straightforward steps.
We arrive and set up the equipment 30 minutes before the session begins — no disruption to your schedule.
Groups of 30+ children perform a routine of sports activities while the radar captures movement data passively and simultaneously.
Our data analysts process the collected sensor data and generate individual Athlete Index outputs for every child in the session.
Results are delivered via an online portal or electronic certificate (PDF). Printed physical certificates are available at extra cost.

Traditional coaching relies on observation and instinct. Radar-based measurement gives coaches objective, repeatable data that reveals what the eye misses.
Our Athlete Index combines radar metrics into a single age-normalised score — giving parents and coaches a clear picture of where a young athlete stands.
Sports Vectors uses millimetre-wave radar to measure athlete movement without cameras, wearables, or any physical contact — precise, private, and instant.
Book a radar assessment session for your child. Sessions are run at your facility and take approximately 45 minutes. Results are delivered within 24 hours.
This site is operated by Sports Vectors Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17279576, registered office 29 St. Leonards Road, Amersham, HP6 6DT). Sports Vectors Ltd is the data controller for the personal data described below. Our website address is https://www.sportsvectors.com and you can contact us at damian@sportsvectors.com.
We collect personal data through two forms on this site, and in no other way.
The contact form. Your name, email address and the content of your message.
The school assessment request form (on our school offer page). Your name, your email address, the name of your child’s school, the school’s town or postcode, optionally the approximate size of the school and whether you are involved with the PTA, and a record of the consent you gave when submitting the form.
We do not ask for, and you should not send us, any information about your child through either form.
Contact form. We use it solely to respond to your enquiry. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests — replying to someone who has contacted us.
School assessment request form. We use it to contact the school you name, to offer them a free assessment, and to let you know the outcome. Our lawful basis is your consent, given by the tick box on the form. You can withdraw that consent at any time by emailing us, although we cannot undo a message already sent.
We do not use your data for marketing without your consent, and we never sell your data to anyone.
If you submit the school assessment request form, we will contact the school you name and tell them that a parent has asked us to get in touch. We do not give the school your name or your email address, and we do not tell them which parent asked, unless you ask us to. Beyond that, we share your data with no one other than the service providers listed below.
Our contact form is processed by FormSubmit (formsubmit.co), which passes your message to us by email. Our school assessment request form is processed by Netlify Forms. This website is hosted by Netlify, which as host processes technical data such as IP addresses in its server logs. Please see their respective privacy policies for how they handle data in transit.
We host our own fonts and use no third-party fonts, embeds, analytics or advertising services, so visiting this site sends your data to no one else.
This site uses only essential cookies required for basic functionality. We do not use tracking, advertising or analytics cookies, and we do not track you across other websites.
Contact form submissions are kept only for as long as needed to answer your enquiry. School assessment requests are kept for 12 months after we have told you the outcome, so that we can follow up if a school’s circumstances change, and are then deleted. You may request deletion at any time.
This policy covers our website. Measurements taken during an assessment at a school are governed by a separate written agreement with that school. In summary: the school is the data controller for its pupils’ data and holds the only record of which child is which; our radar records no images, video or audio and produces nothing from which a person could be recognised; and the anonymised aggregate data we retain to build age-referenced baselines contains no personal data. Our school information pack sets this out in full and is available on request.
