Indoor football field at East Tennessee State University
Goalgo · Local positioning

Every athlete’s position, 50 times a second.

UWB anchors around the court locate each tag in real time — indoors, no cameras, no GPS. Plus every Track2go load metric.

How it works

Each tag’s signal reaches every anchor at a slightly different time. Goalgo turns those timings into an x/y position on the court. The tags are the same ones Track2go uses — start with Track2go, add positioning later.

Live court view: every player’s position, updated 50 times a second.
Research partner

Developed on court with National Taiwan Normal University

Since 2021, NTNU’s Department of Athletic Performance and its women’s basketball team have used Goalgo at the Gongguan campus gym — four anchors around the court and a tag on every player. Together we tested where to wear the tag; the shoulder gave the most stable signal, which is why every Tromin vest carries it there.

Peak acceleration and deceleration were not accurate enough to report (errors 25–28%).
