About
Once Sport is an all-in-one sports software platform built for coaches, analysts, clubs, and sports organizations ranging from youth academies to professional teams. The platform bundles four core products: Analyser, Telestrator, Coach Board, and Autocam, each targeting a distinct aspect of sports performance improvement. Once Sport Analyser delivers powerful video analysis with advanced action tagging, 3D animated telestration, AI-driven automatic player tracking, and live match analysis — all designed to be accessible without deep technical expertise. Once Sport Telestrator focuses specifically on professional-grade drawings and TV-quality telestration with automated tracking elements. Coach Board provides an intuitive, offline-capable tactical board for creating, animating, and sharing drills and strategies.

Powered by advanced AI keyframing technology, Once Sport enables automatic player tracking with a single click, saving analysts hours of manual work. The platform supports multiple sports including football, basketball, handball, futsal, American football, hockey, and rugby. Scalable licensing makes it suitable for individual coaches as well as entire organizations.
