Quarterbacks and receivers wear a tag
So every pass has a thrower, a receiver and an outcome.
Every throw, measured from inside the ball
Velocity, spin, distance and outcome on every pass in practice. Live on the sideline.

Ball partners
Every throw. Every rep. Every quarterback.
Sportable automatically captures and attributes every throw to the quarterback and intended receiver, giving coaches objective data without manual counting, charting or tagging. This helps develop and prepare better QBs through:
Real-time rep feedback on how each pass was thrown to support skill development.
Practice benchmarks and KPIs, with game context to track performance and progress.
Throwing volume and intensity metrics to support workload management and return-to-play (RTP).
GPS tracks the player. Sportable tracks the ball, player and the execution
Measured from inside the ball, on every throw.

The sensor is inside the ball
Same ball, same build, same spec, with thousands already manufactured and tested. A sensor sealed inside a Wilson or Big Game ball reports release velocity, spin rate and hang time on every throw. No filming. No charting.
The system is placed around the field
Anchors on fences, poles or rooftops locate every ball and every tag. One field or two side by side.
Measured the moment it lands
Distance, hang time, release velocity, time to throw and spin rate, tied to who threw it and who caught it.
Live on the sideline
HELIX QB on a laptop, tablet or phone. Every throw on the pitch, by quarterback and by drill, as practice runs.
After practice, the numbers are waiting
Each quarterback against the session average. Throw counts for strength and sports medicine. Exports for the film room.
Every throw in context
