SC Cambuur has signed a partnership with Smart11 this season to equip their entire youth academy with our advanced video analysis and coaching tools. A powerful step forward where technology, self-regulation, and football philosophy come together.
From now on, all Cambuur academy players will analyze their own matches using the Smart11 app – actively working on their game intelligence. They don’t just see what happens, but why it happens. This helps them take control of their decisions on the pitch and grow through self-directed learning.
“Stimulating self-regulation in players – helping them watch match footage more often and with more purpose – is the reason we started this collaboration with Smart11,”
Fedrik Houtstra, Head of Academy at SC Cambuur.
Coaches are using Smart11 to conduct more effective individual coaching sessions. By reflecting on video and data with their players, they provide targeted feedback tailored to each player’s development path. Coaches also utilize SmartCoach for team and opponent analysis – taking tactical preparation to the next level.
🎯 AI-powered support
The academy is also supported by our AI analyst, Clairence. This intelligent tool helps players and coaches quickly find the most relevant moments using filters based on team possession, individual actions, and ball location. This saves time and delivers sharper insights.
We’re proud of this collaboration with SC Cambuur and believe Smart11 will play a key role in helping players develop within the club’s football vision.
