Training Ground Guru and Twelve are partnering to launch a new Analytics Membership.

Co-founded by the renowned ‘soccermatician’ Professor David Sumpter, Twelve works with leading clubs and federations around the world to deliver cutting-edge data science solutions. Now they have joined forces with TGG to build a community of data enthusiasts dedicated to learning, developing and sharing ideas. 

See all the benefits of becoming an Analytics Member.

As an Analytics Member, you get ALL the elements of the core TGG Membership  – access to all our Webinars and Masterclasses, the Club Directory, Academy Productivity Rankings, Personal Profile Builder and TGG Live videos – PLUS enhanced features to develop your data science knowledge, expertise and network:

  • Live Monthly Masterclasses: Delivered by Professor David Sumpter, Twelve data scientists and other industry experts to develop the skills clubs require.  
  • On-Demand Masterclasses: Eight in-depth sessions on subjects including Modelling Player Movements, Predicting Transfer Values and Using Large Language Models.
  • Monthly Q&As: Ask data science experts your questions – and get the answers in real time. 
  • Workshop tutorials: Present your work to Twelve experts and get feedback.
  • TGG x Twelve Community: Network and collaborate with your fellow data enthusiasts on our invite-only Slack channel. 

The Analytics Membership is for those already working in professional football, those who aspire to do so – and anyone looking to develop their knowledge of this crucial area of the game. 

Twelve Co-Founder Professor David Sumpter said: “Our Twelve Community has grown over the last year and we have had lots of interesting events. However, I felt we needed to take it to the next level, which is why we are partnering with Training Ground Guru. 

“Whenever we have worked with TGG in the past – on Masterclasses, podcasts, presentations or discussions – Simon and his team have pushed me hard to think about how I present my work. TGG are plugged into professional football and understand the trends and challenges in the modern game.

Become an Analytics Member and get all these benefits.

“Twelve are trying to find ways to solve these challenges and teach others to solve them too. With the new Analytics Membership and the Twelve x TGG Community, I think we will really be able to make progress towards this.”

TGG Founder Simon Austin added: “Getting the opportunity to partner with a football analytics pioneer like David, who is operating at the elite level of the game, was just too good to pass up. Few have had the impact on football analytics that he has – as an educator, advocate and practitioner.

“David and Twelve are also passionate about continuing taking football analytics forwards. We are excited to be joining forces with Twelve and are determined to deliver a first-class experience for our Analytics Members, so they can learn from the best, develop their knowledge and skills and share ideas with other data enthusiasts.”

Professor Sumpter was our guest on Episode #46 of the TGG Podcast and has worked with teams including Ajax, Barcelona, several Premier League sides and the England national team.

The Analytics Membership is £25 per month or £200 for a year. To find out more, click HERE. To join, click HERE.
