About TechBall
A stronger, smarter basketball community
TechBall is an Erasmus+ Sport project dedicated to practical digital transformation in coaching. The project helps coaches understand, test and responsibly use smart technologies, measurement systems, video analysis and AI-supported workflows.
Technology is not treated as an end in itself. The goal is a better, more verifiable and repeatable training process in which the coach remains responsible for context and the final decision.

Our activities
Workshops & practical learning
International workshops connect research, educational content and hands-on testing so coaches can move from theory to practical application.
Educational Events
Expert-led lectures and discussions on AI, digital skills, testing protocols and modern coaching practice.
International Collaboration
Partners, coaches and participants work together to test methods, exchange knowledge and improve project resources.
Research
Evidence before technology
The TechBall research gathered 121 valid responses and identified a clear readiness-resource gap: coaches show interest in AI and digital tools, while equipment access, finances and practical training remain important barriers.

Implementation update · October 2026
From research to real-world coaching practice
The project is now in its hands-on delivery phase: educational resources have been developed, the Belgrade international workshop has been delivered, and participant feedback will inform the next transfer and refinement steps.
Completed
Research & needs analysis
121 valid responses shaped the practical educational content and confirmed where coaches need the most support.
Developed
Educational toolkit
Materials cover AI, digital tools, measurement, video, data interpretation, testing and safe implementation.
Delivered
Belgrade workshop
Coaches worked with project equipment, practical demonstrations and presentations during the international workshop.
Next
Refinement & Slovenia
Evaluation and workshop feedback feed into the next international activity and refined learning resources.
2027
Local transfer
Knowledge will be transferred to a wider group of coaches through local workshops and open educational resources.
Sustainability
Long-term use
Equipment and materials remain available for future coaching, testing and educational activities beyond the funded period.
Technology in practice
Measure. Interpret. Decide.
TechBall combines several measurement systems with video context. The value comes from standardized protocols and from linking the result back to a coaching question.
