New York, NY– December 22, 2016 – The National Lacrosse League, the largest men’s professional indoor lacrosse league in North America, and Krossover, the leading sports film analysis and statistics company, today announced a renewal of their partnership to support NLL film exchange and breakdown. As part of the ongoing partnership, game film captured by NLL teams will be analyzed by Krossover Intelligence to extract insight into team and athlete performance data.
“The NLL is committed to innovation at every level of the game, and that includes adopting world-class technology like Krossover that will give our athletes and coaches an opportunity to improve their skills,” said Nick Sakiewicz, Commissioner of the National Lacrosse League. “There is an incredible amount of preparation and strategy that goes into each game, and with the interactive graphics and responsive data features provided by Krossover Insights, our teams will be able to spot trends in box score numbers and study statistics like never before. We have the best athletes in the sport, and armed with these superior analytical tools from Krossover, we’re going to give our fans an unforgettable season.”
Krossover evaluates games factors such as possession time, game efficiency ratings, total team efficiency, game pace and more. Krossover’s cloud-based platform will allow NLL teams, coaches, league personnel, players and officials to access game clips and data online, share content, and sort film by specific stats, players, occurrences and other filters. The NLL and their teams will also have the ability to create a completely indexed library of their content on Krossover.com.
“We couldn’t be happier to extend our partnership with the National Lacrosse League for this season. Krossover has built a best-in-class product for lacrosse teams to view, search, analyze and evaluate their performance,” said Eric Perugini, Vice President of Krossover. “We are proud to offer a suite of tools that provides as much for youth, high school and collegiate athletes as it does for the professionals playing at the highest level of competition.”
