What are CITYPLAY's two activity types?

CITYPLAY has 2 activity types: Match Activity and Training Activity.

Match Activity

This includes every official and unofficial match the player participates in. More specifically, a match activity should only be selected when doing a 9 v 9 or an 11 v 11 match.

• NOTE:
  • Small-sided matches (ex. 5 v 5, 6 v 6, 7 v 7, or 8 v 8) should be uploaded onto the app as training activities.
  • A match activity should never be selected when doing small-sided games that are played during a training session, instead, it should only be selected for isolated match sessions.

Training Activity

There are two types of training activities to choose from, 'Physical Only' or 'With a Ball'. Selecting the correct session type is necessary for the most accurate post-training analysis.

• NOTE: 
  • If a player does not select the type of training session, the app will automatically default to 'Physical Only'. This means that only the player's physical metrics will appear on the activity.
  • Refer to this article to learn what your training data means (training highlights and performance glossaries).
• There are 2 types of Training Activities:
  • Physical Only - Training sessions in which the player participated without a ball involved. Only the player's physical metrics will be measured from these sessions. This includes distance covered, high-speed running, sprint distance, top speed, sprints, and high-speed changes.
  • With the Ball - Training sessions in which the player participated with a ball involved. All performance metrics of the player will be measured. This includes physical, involvement, playing tempo, and technical balance metrics.
