Anaheim, Calif. [December 4, 2025] — Cal South, the official youth and adult state soccer association for Southern California, announced today that it has renewed its partnership with XbotGo as its Official AI Camera Partner. The renewed agreement expands on a successful program that saw XbotGo’s autonomous sports-tracking cameras integrated into some of Cal South’s most important player and coach development programs.
XbotGo’s technology has become a core tool in Cal South’s U.S. Soccer Coaching Education “C” License courses, a mid-level coaching certification focused on training session design, principles of play, player analysis, and creating effective developmental environments. Because the “C” License curriculum relies heavily on video analysis, XbotGo’s automated tracking cameras have enabled instructors and candidates to capture consistent, high-quality footage without dedicating staff to film training sessions manually.
Cal South has also been using XbotGo devices at its Olympic Development Program (ODP) Identification Camps, statewide talent-evaluation events where elite youth players are scouted for potential advancement to regional and national ODP pools. These camps require accurate, reviewable recordings of live play to assess players’ technical and tactical decisions. XbotGo’s AI-powered tracking has provided evaluators with improved visibility while giving families better access to highlights and game recordings.
“Integrating XbotGo into our programs has elevated the experience for both coaches and players. In Coaching Education, it enhances the quality of feedback. In ODP, it helps evaluators see the full picture. Renewing the partnership was an easy decision."
Cal South members continue to receive a 20% discount on XbotGo product purchases, ensuring that clubs, coaches, and families across Southern California can more easily access the technology.
Dr. David Tan, Founder and CEO of XbotGo, said the company is proud to support one of the most influential soccer communities in the country.
“Cal South has been an incredible partner. Seeing our technology help coaches teach more effectively and help players shine in high-stakes evaluation settings is exactly what we designed XbotGo to do.”
The renewed partnership will bring expanded camera access and new collaborative initiatives throughout 2026, including enhanced support for coaching courses, ODP events, and select Cal South competitions and showcases.
