Academies & youth development

Build the Player Before You Build the Team.

Create a continuous performance record for every player — connecting match data, video, reports and development context from the academy pathway to senior-team readiness.

Long-term player intelligence

One development record. Season after season.

Youth development should not reset every time a player changes age group or coach. KoraStats gives technical departments a structured record of performance, video and match context that can follow a player through the pathway.

01

Observe

Centralize match footage, event data and player participation across academy teams.

02

Measure

Review performance with consistent football metrics and video-linked match context.

03

Develop

Track recurring strengths, weaknesses and progress instead of evaluating one match in isolation.

04

Promote

Give decision-makers a clearer evidence base when players move between age groups or toward senior football.

The pathway

See development as a journey, not a snapshot.

Keep football intelligence connected as players progress through the academy structure, helping coaches and technical directors preserve context across seasons.

FOUNDATIONEarly YouthBuild the first structured match and video record.
DEVELOPMENTMiddle AcademyFollow performance trends as roles and physical maturity change.
PERFORMANCEElite YouthCompare players by role, age group and competition context.
TRANSITIONU19 / ReserveIdentify readiness and areas that still need development.
PATHWAYSenior FootballCarry the player record into first-team decision-making.
Youth intelligence workflow

From academy match to development decision.

01 / MONITOR

Keep every player visible.

Bring match activity, video and profile information into one place so the technical staff can follow the entire academy pool consistently.

  • Player profiles by age group
  • Match participation and minutes
  • Video-linked actions
  • Season history
