U-Pro Soccer is a Canadian sportstech company developing a mobile-first training platform that uses AI and computer vision to help youth athletes practice soccer drills at home using only a smartphone and a training mat. Many young players lack access to structured training, especially outside of team environments, and U-Pro aims to fill this gap by offering real-time feedback on skill execution, agility, balance, and effort. This project will support the development of U-Pro’s scoring system by designing movement evaluation logic, integrating it into the AI feedback engine, and preparing validation plans to guide future testing. These efforts will strengthen the product’s accuracy and commercial readiness while ensuring that the feedback provided aligns with core principles of skill development. The expected benefit to the partner organization is a validated and defensible scoring framework that enhances the accuracy, usability, and market competitiveness of its AI-driven training product, helping accelerate its path to commercialization.
