Augsburg Men's Soccer Fundraiser

The Need

The Augsburg Men’s Soccer team uses a lot of information to make informed decisions. We are always looking for ways to improve - just a little bit each day. Now that we are training 3x a week inside our dome, we are looking for a camera system that can capture our training and intrasquad scrimmages - one that fits inside the dome giving us enough height to analyze, but doesn't take up a lot of space or require an operator.

The Veo Camera Platform will allow for us to film inside the dome. It does not require an operator - it simply follows play.

• Allows players to learn from and analyze their performance after each session
• Provides convenient access to information on their phone
• Keeps a coach on the field instead of behind a camera - and during COVID we have limited number of people allowed in our facility, an independent camera operator is not an option at this time
• Tripod for indoor use and a camera mount for the press box once the dome comes down for future outdoor use

The cost to purchase the camera and tripod and the software license needed for our players to use the systems is around $2,800. Any money raised above the $2,800 needed will go directly to the Men's Soccer Endowment to support the long term health and stability of the program.
