Bermuda Football Association (BFA) have turned to technology to discover a formula to raise the standard of play of all the Island's national teams.

Technical director Derek Broadley has brought in hi-tech performance analysis system ProZone in a bid to give Bermuda's players an extra edge and help solve any deficiencies.

ProZone provides a comprehensive analysis of each player's contribution to a match and has revolutionised scouting methods. It can tell coaches anything from how far players have run and into what areas to how many passes and tackles they have made.

Broadley and national team coach Kenny Thompson have already began pouring over ProZone statistics provided from Bermuda's 4-0 defeat against Chelsea reserves and have identified inadequacies that need to be addressed.

"I've opened up dialogue with ProZone to try and get regular access to information," said Broadley. "As long as we provide them with good quality footage they can give us the stats. We've already received stats from the senior national team's match against Chelsea reserves.

"The stats will help determine how we develop football on the Island from the ground up. What it's done already is reinforced some of the thoughts I already had on the deficiencies in our technical system. The quality of our long passing, in terms of accuracy, is poor. That has implications on movement, receiving and heading."

Broadley stressed that although the senior national team would be the immediate beneficiaries of the system, he was keen to have all national sides fall under ProZone's microscope.

"Kenny (Thompson) will look at what implications the stats have for the senior national team, but I also want to see if there's a common link throughout all age groups on the Island. Next we'll probably look at the Under-13s.

"If they have the same deficiencies then you know they exist all the way through the system.

"You can also go into more psychological areas because if players are not heading balls then what's your competitive level going to be like? Forget just the national team - these stats will help us build a development system to help the whole Island.

"The process is very simple - we provide ProZone with the footage of the game and tell them the statistics we're looking for."

The likes of Steve McLaren, Sam Allardyce and Alex Ferguson are among the most high-profile converts to ProZone, and most teams in the Premiership subscribe to the system.

Broadley recently returned from Trinidad and Tobago where he inspected the facilities ahead of both the senior national team and Under-17s' World Cup qualifiers.

He also made contact with Caribbean Football Union's (CFU) technical director Keith Lookloy regarding starting courses in Bermuda that will be recognised and accepted throughout the region.

He returns to Trinidad next weekend where he will cast his critical eye over the Soca Warriors' friendly match against England.
