Marina Emberson, Portsmouth City Football Club’s Youth Development Secretary and Administrator, said about the decision to purchase SDMS V Academy:
“We already had a well organised system for recording personal and registration details for all our young players. We held basic player records in MS Access. But we wished to make sure that our systems were as effective as possible so when we heard of SDMS and the work it was doing, with many of the leading clubs in the Country we decided to have a look. We found that the software was a good match to what we wanted but we also needed the software changed in several ways to match precisely our needs – SDMS was helpful and positive. In the last Football League inspection we were highly commended by the Football League for our Administration of the Youth Development Programme, this was in no small way due to SDMS software.”

Colin McLaren, Rochdale Football Club’s Training and Development Officer, said about how they use the SDMS V Academy and Youth Development for Windows:
“As a Club in the Fourth Tier of the Football Pyramid, Rochdale FC has been running a Centre of Excellence for many years; currently both the youth team and the First Team are well positioned in their current leagues with the First Team looking well placed to win promotion to the First Division. After hearing about SDMS, the Club wanted a simple to use yet comprehensive system which would provide them with a system which was more than a simple spreadsheet. One of the main features we find that helps greatly is that we recently started to set up all our standard letters for young players and a lot of time was saved just by this.The great benefit is time saving – jobs which used to take 2 days before we used SDMS, now take a couple of hours.And of course, once the information is entered it can be used many times for different jobs – we use the excellent mail merge facilities of the software for all player-related letters. We now plan to look at using more of these features to produce standard letters for our Scouting Staff.”
