Rosters · NFC wristband ID · multi-coach sync · live parent leaderboards · AI athlete profiling · open API
Testing hundreds of athletes at a combine? Per OVR's own FAQ, its devices and app don't support roster management or multiple athletes in one account. ArenaGear loads the whole class into the run list, IDs each runner with a wristband tap, and files every time to the right athlete in TEAMS — automatically.
Included free with every ArenaGear system
The TEAMS Advantage
OVR times one athlete per account. ArenaGear TEAMS runs your whole program — every athlete, every coach, every parent — live, in the cloud, at no extra cost.

✓ Switch classes between periods in one tap
✓ Roster changes sync instantly to every coach's device ✓ Results sort by class, athlete or drill in TEAMS ✗ OVR: one athlete per app account — no classes, no rosters |

Multi-coach · Global Sync
Every coach sees every result. Hand off the gates — and go to lunch.
Head coach, assistants and volunteers all log in to your organization and see every run as it happens. Any coach can take control of the gates. Hand off a station, step away, and when you come back your phone already has every run made while you were gone.
✓ All coaches see all results, live
✓ Hand off control of any station in seconds ✓ Roster changes, next-athlete and wristband scans sync to every phone ✓ No re-entering, no merging spreadsheets later ✗ OVR: one athlete per app account — no shared coaching staff view |
🌐 Global View One phone shows live times from up to 10 test stations at the same time — run the whole combine floor from your hand. | 🏷️ Wristband auto-ID Athletes tap and run. Every time is filed to the right athlete — no clipboard, no errors. | 🔄 Multi-coach Global Sync Every coach sees every result, live. Hand the gates to another coach and walk away — your phone stays current with every run made while you were gone. |

OVR Performance: no rosters, no multi-coach sync, no live event leaderboard. ArenaGear TEAMS: all of it, free.
NFC wristbands + optional wristband reader
Test Hundreds of Athletes.
Zero Errors. No Clipboards.
Zero Errors. No Clipboards.
Combines, camps, showcases and tryouts live or die on athlete ID. With ArenaGear, the athlete identifies themselves with a tap — so every time lands on the right name, every time. No one reads names off a list, types on a phone, or matches times by hand afterward.
How it works
1 Check-in Each athlete gets a band pre-programmed to their name. Bands stay dormant until first scan. |
2 Tap At the start line the athlete taps their band on the wristband reader. Their name pops up as next to run. |
3 Run The gates time the run to 0.001s — and the video taker records it, hands-free. |
4 Done Time posts to the athlete in TEAMS and to the live leaderboard instantly. Reports build themselves. |
| Running a 300-athlete combine | OVR Performance | ArenaGear + Wristbands |
|---|---|---|
| Who is running? | Coach calls names off a list | Athlete taps band — identified automatically |
| Recording each time | Clipboard or typing — one athlete per app account | 100% hands-off. Every run is recorded automatically and filed to the right athlete instantly — nobody touches a phone or a pen. |
| Wrong-athlete errors | Every mis-heard name or skipped line | Zero — the band is the ID |
| Results after the event | Hours re-typing and matching times | Done — reports ready in TEAMS |
| Parents & scouts | Wait for results to be sent | Live leaderboard with names, ranks & times |
| No-shows | — | Unused bands stay dormant and return to stock |
Secure by design: genuine ArenaGear NFC bands use proprietary authorization. Each band is dormant until its first scan, then locks to that calendar day — it can't be reused, shared or transferred. Auto-ID kit: reader + 100 bands, $400.

Why Coaches Choose ArenaGear
Built Different
|
⚡
Place it and run
Self-aligning gates — no aiming, no reflectors, no matching heights. Set the tripods and start timing.
|
🔋
Never stranded on the field
80-hour AA battery life — about 10× OVR Sprint's ~8-hour receiver. Rechargeables lose capacity every year; fresh AAs give you a full 80+ hours every time. No chargers, no 90-minute waits — AAs at any gas station.
|
|
👥
Built for teams, not one athlete
Load a class and the whole run list is ready, in order. Change the next athlete, skip or reorder on the fly. OVR's app holds one athlete per account.
