An Established Sports Teaching and Coaching Software Design and Production Company

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

London, UK, August 23 2011 – Tacklesport continues to produce high quality animated sports coaching software featuring its unique G.A.P.S. approach. G.A.P.S., which stands for Games, Activities, Practices and Skills (and which is enshrined for example in the company’s G.A.P.S. basketball coaching software) allows coaches for specific sports to hone their players individually and their teams as a whole using a sequential series of diagnostic games and skill building drills.

Tacklesport was the first company in the UK to launch a sports coaching software program, with its 1995 Animated Skills Drills for Rugby Union. The basketball coaching software now provided by the company is just one example from a full range of sports specific coaching programs.

Tacklesport’s G.A.P.S. basketball coaching software covers passing; dribbling; rebounding; shooting; ball handling; transition; individual skills; offensive movement; and defence. These key skills are enshrined in 250 games, activities, practices and skills.

All games, activities, practices and skills are filtered by the relevant criteria. So a coach using the sports coaching software to enhance his or her team’s passing selects “passing” from the list of skills covered by the G.A.P.S. basketball coaching software, at which point all games, practices and activities that help with passing are brought up.

game, activity, practice or skill can be refined using the Tacklesport coaching software adaptation and variation resources. The possibilities for team and individual improvement are thus rendered almost limitless.

England Basketball was actively involved in the production of Tacklesport’s software, putting the seal of approval from the UK’s official basketball body on the sports coaching software designed by the company. The body’s endorsement of Tacklesport’s G.A. P.S. basketball coaching software is not an unusual event. The ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) has been working with Tacklesport since 2000, producing interactive cricket coaching software for both teachers and coaches; and the Rugby Football League is also a long term partner of Tacklesport working on a number of products to support coach development.

The sports coaching software provided by Tacklesport is enhanced by mobile technology and they are set to release the G.A.P.S. app for iPhone imminently. Moving into the second half of 2011, the company is continuing to provide first class coaching software for schools and sports clubs all over the UK.For more information please visit : http://www.tacklesport.com/
