Football data with David Sumpter
Membership of Twelve Community gives you access to two live football data events per month, plus our member only Slack channel where you can share ideas and build joint projects.
As a member of The Twelve Football Community you get access to our monthly Masterclasses, Football Data with David Sumpter. In the series you’ll get live tutorials about how to use data to scout, analyse matches and identify weaknesses in the opposition. With help from our Twelve data scientists, David explains the latest methods, for everything from using tracking data to harnessing the power of large language models. As a member you will get an invite in your email inbox before each session so you can attend live. The masterclasses will be recorded and you will have unlimited access after the masterclass.
Additionally, once a month David leads a Q&A session, hosted together with club data scientists. Times are variable to allow people from all around the world a chance to get involved. Find out more about the skills needed to use data and models to understand the game.These sessions are not recorded and are a chance to chat informally with David and club data scientists. In addition, we run TwelveGPT request lines, where you get the chance to order scouting and match reports from our platform.

Testimonials from students on Soccermatics Pro course
"My Python coding was a weak area for me, and I really wanted to improve in this so I can be more responsive to the needs of the coach and team. It was a great course, with such useful skills being covered. There are so many analysts working in football, but so much mathematics missing from their skillsets."
Mark Carter, English FA.
“Thank you for all this course does for the community. I'll be joining a Brazilian club as a data scientist in the upcoming weeks, and it is crystal clear that it would not happen without your course."
Rodrigo Salvador, Red Bull Bragantino
“The course combinated mathematics, programming, and real-life cases from industry experts - along with three obligatory hand-ins in Python. Being able to apply this course to own data sources and develop bespoke metrics makes this course recommendable.”
Simon Eilersen, Football Data Consultant, Danish League.
