Abstract: An approach is provided for a system for managing sport activities, which comprises at least one identifier, multiple transceivers and a server. The identifier is configured for inspecting each player in a sport activity, and has a serial number. The transceivers are located in specific spots of the sport activity, and each transceiver comprises a short-range radio signal receiver being configure for reading the serial number of the identifier, and a long-range radio signal transmitter the serial number of identifier and a timestamp when the serial number is obtained. The server is located distant from the sport activity, receives the timestamp and serial number from the transceiver, and uploads the timestamps with the corresponded player.
