Are SmartSpeed Timing Gates necessary to test my athletes?

If you want accurate data points, using timing gates is important. Using a stop watch or manually timing athletes can be done but the accuracy of the data could be skewed. We highly recommend the investment in the SmartSpeed Timing Gates. We believe the investment pays for itself when showing athletes, parents, and other coaches accurate improvements and comprehensive data assessments that can be created after implementing the SmartSpeed Timing Gates into your program.

I've never used timing gates, are they easy to set up & implement?

If you've never used timing gates before, the SmartSpeed Timing Gates are a great place to start. Our entire staff was able to operate them from day 1. They are very user-friendly and the mobile app allows you to easily track each of your gates as well as test your athletes efficiently. Vald Performance also has dozens of resources to help you get set up and started so you're never truly on your own.
