Watford FC Women partners with Pixellot
January 18, 2023
Pixellot, a provider of AI-Automated sports video and analytics solutions, has announced a partnership for the 2022/23 season with English football club Watford FC Women to deliver video streaming, data, and analysis to take training to the next level.
Watford FC Women are currently in the third tier FA Women’s National League South and play their home games at Grosvenor Vale – the home of Wealdstone FC.
As part of this collaboration with Pixellot, Watford FC Women will use the Pixellot Air integrated mobile solution for video capture, review, and analysis. Pixellot Air is a lightweight, portable device with a dual camera array and direct cloud uploading. Alongside being easy to set up on any pitch, it is also capable of capturing twelve hours of play.
After training sessions or competitive games, Pixellot Air delivers automatically produced video for coding, tagging, and annotating on a dedicated coaching platform. Watford FC Women’s coaches will be able to study video footage, game highlights, in-depth analysis and video breakdowns.
“Really excited to partner with Pixellot and have them as our official analyst partner for both of our women senior teams,” commented Laura Dyer, Watford FC Women First Team Assistant Coach. “This will be a key tool to use to help players and staff analyse our games and training and support the further development of all. The product is easy to use and has good camera quality.”
“Sitting second in the league, we are focused on promotion and Pixellot’s technology is going to be invaluable in helping us achieve that,” added Damon Lathrope, Head coach, Watford FC Women. “We’ll be able to analyse matchday and training sessions videos to see what is working for the team and what isn’t. This is a real game changer in terms of how we can help our players to develop and sharpen their game. We chose Pixellot because we felt they valued our partnership and provided excellent quality equipment, which is straightforward to manage and very cost-effective.”
“At Pixellot we are a major supporter of women’s football, so we are delighted to be working with Watford FC Women,” said Alon Weber, CEO of Pixellot. “The coaches at the club will be able to leverage innovative technology to change the face of their coaching and talent development processes. This is a transformative opportunity for Watford FC Women to help their players and progress the growing women’s football space in England.”
