Founded in 1911, the Quebec Soccer Federation (QSF) is responsible for the promotion and long-term development of soccer in Quebec, in every form, and level.

Soccer Quebec is recognized by Canada Soccer and Sport Canada, part of the Department of Canadian Heritage (Canadian Heritage) as being one of the 13 provincial and territorial federations members of the Canadian Soccer Association, with the headquarters in Laval, Quebec.

Soccer Quebec has several training programs on both the Men’s & Women’s sides and XPS allows Rudy Doliscat and the coaching staff to keep track of the players’ progress, wherever they are in the system.

Anything to do with keeping track of the players in our programme, we can do with XPS.

Soccer Quebec’ Sport Science and Development Coordinator, Felix Sauvestre takes good care of the players under his watch and he uses the Monitoring area of XPS to do so.

Training Load and Readiness to Train are tracked on a daily basis to ensure that players are in the best possible position to succeed in both training and games. 

The easy-to-view information in XPS Monitoring allows coaches to view how the players are responding to training and plan accordingly for the next day so that they can maximise the development of the players.

‍

With so many players and such a heavy schedule, player availability is a key metric that coaches must have a handle on.

The Athletic Trainers, led by Benjamin Prevost, make sure to update availability using the XPS Health module every single day. Any injuries, illnesses or modifications to training status are made at the end of each day so that coaches have the information they need for the next day’s planning. 

With the right information to hand, practice sessions can be planned appropriately using the Planner in XPS Network.

Drills are available for players to view, and so coaches at Soccer Quebec have the ability to prepare the players for training before they have set foot on the field!

At present, the main program where XPS is being used is the PEF (women excel program). This program is regrouping the best 30 women athletes between 15 and 17 years old of the province.

The program is there to help them reach the national youth teams of Canada Soccer. Soccer Quebec uses the XPS platform for every aspect of their daily player management, training content, and performance analysis.

Every coach and player on the “Sport-Études” program (over 3,000 players and 250 coaches across Quebec) is going to be using XPS for management, training content, and performance analysis. While also benefiting from the full suite of XPS tools and solutions, such as messaging, the calendar, and video collection features.

‍

Using XPS across our regional programs ensures better communication and coordination, and a more efficient way to identify and track player progress in real-time.
