(SnappConner — September 2, 2015) SCOTTSDALE, Arizona –Alert GPS, a leading innovator in personal & enterprise safety technology and wearables, has teamed up with Forza Futbol Club, a soccer club serving nearly 3,000 recreation soccer players, as well as 1,000 competition players from ages 3 to 18, at The Mayor’s Cup 2015 tournament.
Alert GPS is equipping each Forza field marshal with an AlertGPS wearable device. With constant location information and 2-way voice communication, Forza can be notified of any emergencies happening in real time from each game site. The small device will be worn by each Field Marshal and with the push of the ONEtouchTM button, help can be dispatched at any time.
“We look forward to offering a new level of safety to one of Utah’s largest soccer tournaments,” said Alan Baratz, AlertGPS CEO. “Our device is used across many different industries, such as healthcare, construction, and real estate. This will be the first time it’s being used in the sports industry and we are very excited about using safety wearable technology to get emergency help faster to the athletes and those around them.”
“Every game is unpredictable,” says Forza President, Christopher Roemer. “Since tournament games are highly competitive, you never know when injuries may happen, or tempers may flare up with players, coaches or referees. We want to make sure that if any incident occurs, we quickly resolve it. With the AlertGPS wearable, this gives us an advantage in doing so.”
Whatever situation may arise, field marshals will now have the use of technology to quickly report the incident and get help on its way. With many of the field marshals being volunteers, this added use of technology will make their job much easier and ensure for an overall safer tournament.
