USA Volleyball (USAV) and performance wearable technology company VERT have signed an agreement extending their working partnership that began in the summer of 2014. VERT will continue as a USA Volleyball Official Supplier for Performance Wearable Technology through 2020.
VERT has provided Team USA with wearables to help monitor player load, injury prevention and evaluation during USA Volleyball High Performance tryouts and USA National Team practices. The device allows players and coaches to see real-time jump height and jump count data through wireless connections to smart devices.
“VERT has been a remarkable partner over the last three years,” USA Volleyball Secretary General Kerry Klostermann said. “Not only has the VERT technology been a valuable instrument for our national teams to monitor jump load for our athletes in training and competition to aid in injury prevention, the staff at VERT has incorporated our team’s successes deeply into its marketing strategies that expose volleyball and Team USA to new audiences.”
“USA Volleyball has provided us a platform to build amazing products and work with passionate and innovative teams and companies in the sport of volleyball,” VERT Founder Martin Matak said. “Safety equals performance.”
