Slingshot is a wearable sensor pod for basketball. Session Load Score, sprint counts, jump metrics, and intensity zones: the analytics that pro systems lock behind team contracts and player minimums. We're building it for the trainers those platforms left out. We're on the second board design now, and we're in gyms while it gets built.
No software contract, no minimums. The pod is sold outright at $149. The academy signs a data processing agreement covering minors' data.
We drive to gyms across Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties. If you run sessions, we want to sit in on one and ask what belongs on the report. team@slingshot-sports.com
Composite of sprint intensity, jump events, and movement zones. Intensity figures are directional, not clinical.
Catapult Vector and STATSports serve pro and D1 programs. Catapult One reaches youth and high school, but basketball is not among its eleven supported sports. None of them were ever an option for a basketball trainer or an academy operator.
The trainers who do measure run assessments by hand every few months, and between assessments nothing reaches the parent. That gap is what we're building for.
Slingshot is built for the basketball programs Catapult was never going to serve.
The Session Load Score tells you how hard each athlete worked, built from sprint intensity, jump data, and movement zones. Here is what we're designing.
One composite number per player per session, built from sprint intensity, jump data, and movement zones. The single metric that tells you who worked and who didn't.
A clean weekly summary you can send home. Session Load trend, standout sessions, a coach's note.
Every jump counted, session by session. Vertical height is in validation, and no number goes on a report until it holds up on a real arm. It is the number recruits and parents both watch.
Every explosive burst logged automatically. Tuned for basketball's 5-to-10 yard bursts, not soccer-style distance. Know which players are pushing and which ones are coasting.
Green, yellow, red. A simple read on how each player spent the session, from the max-intensity grinders to the ones who barely broke a sweat.
Export every metric, every session, every athlete to CSV in one click. Your data is yours. No lock-in, no paywall.
The next version is in design. What goes in it gets decided by the sessions we sit in on. The trainers who host us get a direct line into that decision.

Every athlete's weekly report goes home. Parents see the work every week, not just at the end of the season.
Every academy in SoCal promises personalized training. None of them send week-over-week data home. The question we're asking trainers: what would actually be worth putting in front of a parent every week?
No software contract. No player minimums. No sports science consultant required. The academy signs a data processing agreement covering minors' data.
We're three founders putting our own savings into this, not a venture-backed team building from the outside. We know what a trainer running fifteen kids a day actually has time for, because we've been in those gyms. No enterprise bloat.
No software contract, no minimums. The pod is sold outright at $149. The academy signs a data processing agreement covering minors' data.
Slingshot fuses sprint intensity, jump events, and movement zones into one number from 0 to 100. The score tracks an athlete against their own history, not against the athlete next to them.
Approximate intensity zone tracking from the upper-arm sensor. Directional signal, not clinical measurement, paired with Session Load to translate raw effort into something a parent understands at a glance.
Catapult and STATSports sell to pro and D1 programs, on contracts and player minimums. Slingshot is for the private academy neither of them will serve. The pod is sold outright at $149. When there is a board to put in a gym, the trainers we have sat with hear first.
We're three founders building in the open. The decisions, the dead ends, and what the data actually says.
We're in gyms across Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties asking trainers what belongs on the report. Leave your email and you get the first one off a real session, the week it exists. Paid private basketball academies and skills trainers with budget authority.

We'll reply with two questions, program type and number of athletes. No spam.
