The collaboration between Czech Floorball Federation and Sideline Sports began in 2015, when a five-year contract regarding coaches education and talent development was signed. Since then Czech floorball clubs have been using XPS Network with Video Analyzer, as well as special licenses for players to use XPS apps on their mobile devices.

Martin Bocian, General Manager of FBC Chomutov:

[blockquote text=’We use the XPS program more and more, we consider it an effective internal communication tool. It helps us better plan and control our sporting activities and track the development of each player in the club. I consider the evaluation of training plans to be the greatest added value.’ text_color=” title_tag=” width=’100′ line_height=’undefined’ background_color=” border_color=” show_quote_icon=’yes’ quote_icon_color=” quote_icon_size=’80’]

From 2016, all coaches in the B license coaching education have used the XPS platform for the duration of the course, completing the annual plan of the team they manage as a practical exam. One of the course participants was FBC Ceska Lipa chief technician Štepán Motejzík:

[blockquote text=’We use the XPS system in our club for recording youth training. It is a useful tool for simple sharing of information between coaches, including descriptions, diagrams and videos of individual exercises. In the near future, we plan to extend the use of a range of useful statistical data for more effective control and long-term planning within each category.  ‘ text_color=” title_tag=” width=’100′ line_height=’undefined’ background_color=” border_color=” show_quote_icon=’yes’ quote_icon_color=” quote_icon_size=’80’]

Coaches can also share their exercises with the general public or with each other through the program. This feature is even available in a XPS-Lite version that all floorball trainers in the Czech Republic have. All the exercises and drills created in this version are evaluated by the Czech Floorball technical department and are then placed in the coaching section of the site. This is helping the federation build a large collection of exercises and drills that serve as an inspiration for beginner coaches.

The National Team has also used the XPS Tags mobile app with XPS Video Analyzer during the Riga World Championship. This live tagging feature allows you to mark important situations directly during a match and then tagged video clips can be shown in halftime or after the match.
