These include Appalachian State University, The University of Louisville, Penn State University, The University of Rochester, The University of West Virginia and both the Men’s and Women’s teams at The University of Washington.

Lesle Gallimore, Women’s Soccer Head Coach at The University of Washington, added;

“We’ve been thrilled during our first two seasons with Prozone, and now with the different upgrades and our increased familiarity with the product we feel we are going to see even bigger benefits using Prozone this coming season. By using Prozone we are able to educate and improve our team, and individual players, as well as our coaching staff. Game preparation is more complete after using the Prozone system.”

Prozone’s U.S. Operations Manager Stewart Mairs added; “Over the past year the number of college and university programs using Prozone has increased exponentially, with the product no longer seen as being reserved for the elite professional club. Teams from all divisions and standings are now gaining a competitive advantage over their opponents, whilst developing their own players through objective performance feedback.”
