Abstract: An athletic performance training and assessment system comprising an accelerometer configured to measure linear acceleration of the athlete and a gyroscope configured to measure angular velocity of the athlete. A processor is configured to calculate a reaction time of the athlete by comparing a baseline score measured prior to commencement of the athletic training drill with a time stamp of a first peak value above the baseline score after commencement of the athletic training drill, receive a plurality of pressure readings from a pressure sensor comprising a strike magnitude and a strike time stamp and calculate an impact score for the athlete, and calculate an athlete ranking based on reaction time and impact score. The processor is further configured to assign an athletic training drill based on at least one of the athlete ranking, the reaction time and the impact score previously collected by the processor.

Abstract: Systems and devices for training and assessment of football players are described herein. In particular, systems and devices for measuring the speed of a football player and/or impact force after a simulated snap are described. In some examples, a computing device with an internal accelerometer is used. In some further examples, the assessment system includes a personal computer.
