GREENVILLE, S.C. – Conference Carolinas has recognized Sports Performance Tracking as the Official Student-Athlete Fitness Monitoring System for the 16-member league.

Before SPT, measuring performance on the field was a luxury reserved for professional teams. GPS tracking technology existed, but it was expensive, complex, and out of reach for grassroots athletes and coaches.

That changed in 2015 when Sports Performance Tracking (SPT) launched its GPS wearable solution — an affordable, easy-to-use platform designed for teams and athletes of all levels. By working closely with world-leading sports scientists, SPT built a product tailored for outdoor sports such as football, rugby, and soccer. The goal was clear: to bring elite-level performance insights to everyday athletes.

“This partnership enables our strength and conditioning coaches, athletic trainers and coaches to collaborate on the best possible technology in providing their student-athletes optimal workouts and developments in training,” said Associate Commissioner Craig McPhail.

Over the years, SPT has empowered coaches, schools, clubs, sporting players in over 120 countries to monitor athlete performance in real-time — tracking speed, endurance, training load, and injury risk with the same precision used by top-tier professionals. SPT has changed the way the world trains.

“SPT is thrilled to partner with Conference Carolinas to support the health, development and performance of their student-athletes. We're excited to work closely with its member programs and their staff as the conference continues to grow its reach,” US Sales Manager for Sports Performance Tracking Michael Carroll said. “SPT's simple and affordable GPS + Heart Rate tracking system has helped programs get the best out of their players and compete deep into the postseason for a decade. We look forward to being an integral factor in producing nationally competing programs from Conference Carolinas for the years to come!”

In 2025, SPT was acquired by K-Sport, a global leader in elite-level sports performance technology. This partnership marks an exciting new chapter, with SPT becoming the platform to expand K-Sport’s reach into amateur and semi-professional markets. Together, we’re launching new technology, growing product accessibility, and scaling our footprint across Australia and the United States.
