“We are excited to partner with Trace to provide our players and coaching staff with access to automated game film and automatically-edited highlights to help further enhance player development at Strikers FC. The technology at Trace aligns with the club’s philosophy of focusing on developing the individual player, and I also believe it will be a critical tool for our coaching staff moving forward.”

Don Ebert, Technical Director, Strikers FC

Strikers FC is a firm believer in cutting-edge training methods while incorporating best practices and age specific regimens as defined by U.S. Soccer. Partnering with Trace only solidifies this belief and will now allow every player, parent, and coach at the club to continue further down this path of success with the help of video.

No matter the age, all Striker FC players receive essentially the same training – training that improves individuals at a fundamental level and makes them technically proficient and athletically prepared wherever they compete.

The club joins 200+ clubs in partnering with Trace to provide their players with the best resources for development and college recruitment.

“Video review with our teams and individual film review with our players is a part of our curriculum at Strikers FC and no other video solution or platform makes it easier for coaches and players than Trace.“
