Rezzil VR: Integrating Virtual Reality in Sports

Rezzil VR

Rezzil is a leading sports technology business paving the way for Virtual Reality integration into real-life professional football training.

Originally based in Manchester, England – Rezzil has since grown exponentially, partnering with multiple elite level football clubs, and expanding into new domains such as, American football, basketball and Formula 1.

The organisation has achieved such success through its innovative, unique and effective VR training programs and games, designed for businesses, clubs and everyday people.

Programs for Clubs

Rezzil offers a wealth of resources for clubs aiming to track and enhance player performance, chief among these is Rezzil Index.

Index is a VR program which tests players across a range of situations and drills to analyse their quick thinking, awareness, technical skill, and more. Through Index, clubs can use the information gained through tests to rapidly benchmark and track how their players improve or regress across time.

To make the technology truly applicable to clubs, Rezzil prides itself on how quickly Index can analyse a player. An Index run can be completed in 20 minutes, and the information is instantly sent to a secure database where it can be accessed in real time.

Data can be extracted raw, or it can be viewed as Rezzil’s very own Index player report cards – displaying information across a series of simple metrics.

In addition to Index, Rezzil also operates exar.live – a post-match analysis tool which compiles data from optical tracking hardware such as Hawkeye, Second Spectrum and Tracab to create 3D or VR recreations of games. Since its creation, exar.live has found success through being adopted by EPL clubs like Manchester City and broadcasters such as Sky Sports.

Programs for Everyone 

Alongside its elite level programs, Rezzil has also entered the consumer market with a variety of unique VR programs.

Chief among Rezzil’s offerings is Rezzil Player. Previously a club only program, Rezzil Player is an advanced training system with over 160 different repeatable training drills and situations designed to test reaction speed and player skills.

Through Rezzil Player, users can assess their performance via data sheets and track how they are improving as they play and repeat the drills.

However, Rezzil Player is not Rezzil’s only consumer game. Launched late last year, Premier League Player is the EPL’s first officially licensed VR game and transports users onto the pitches of their favourite teams.

Available on Meta Quest, users can create their own avatars, or step into the shoes of beloved premier league stars and replay through highlights of the 2023/24 season.

Furthermore, Rezzil has also developed the VR game Hexball for Meta Quest. Hexball is a fast-paced three player arena football game inspired by successful market leaders such as Rocket League. In Hexball, players compete against each other to score the most goals possible within tight environments.

Conclusion 

Rezzil has consistently demonstrated its tenacity and commitment to the cutting edge across all of its products, earning it a plethora of high-value partnerships across the world.

In the football world, Rezzil has fostered collaborations with globally renowned clubs such as Manchester City, Liverpool and Juventus, and with the English Premier League itself.

However, Rezzil has also made an impact across a range of other sports, garnering partnerships with the National Basketball Association, Las Vegas Raiders, Atlanta Falcons, Red Bull Racing and more.

Additionally, the organisation has expanded into the United States, establishing a new headquarters in the country.

In conclusion, Rezzil is a world leader in the application of VR in sport and has consistently shown its capacity to supply and support the most demanding of clients, highlighting the organisation’s professionalism and aptitude.

Manchester City open new training centre for Women’s First Team

The training centre opened earlier this week, following years of planning, investment and ambition for Manchester City Women.

State-of-the-art facilities

Recently crowned WSL Champions, Manchester City Women will now be able to train, prepare and recover in a truly special, purpose-built facility.

Covering 17,000 square feet, a world-class gym, strength & conditioning facilities and dressing room, the site will help players  to maximise performances on the pitch.

But given the facilities also received input from players and staff, inspiring added touches like social spaces and recognition for players with over 100 appearances, it is clear that this is a deeply personal project for all involved at Manchester City Women.

As Managing Director of Manchester City Women, Charlotte O’Neill, highlighted, the training centre is a symbol of excellence and ambition.

“This building is about so much more than bricks and mortar,” O’Neill said via press release.

“It is about creating an environment here our players can thrive, where standards are set at the very highest level and where the current squad has everything it needs to continue to compete for and win silverware.”

A winning project, for a winning team. The training centre is sure to propel Manchester City Women to even greater heights in the seasons to come.

 

Continuing investment trends

Furthermore, as the result of an AUD 18.6 million (GBP 10 million) investment and purpose-built for Manchester City Women, it is yet another example of the current strength of WSL investment.

Just a few weeks ago, Brighton & Hove Albion unveiled plans to construct a new venue for its women’s team, delivering on a clear intention to support commercial growth and infrastructure in the women’s game.

But even after winning their first WSL title this season, the message from the board is clear: Manchester City Women are a fundamental part of the club’s long-term vision.

“This new facility marks the next logical step in our long-term commitment to Manchester City Women, and is an important milestone for the club as a whole,” said Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak.

“We have always believed in investing to create the right environment for players and staff to develop and succeed. That approach has underpinned every aspect of our work since the professional relaunch of Manchester City Women in 2014.”

Isabella Mossin awarded Ninja A-League Women Referee of the Year

The youngest recipient since its inception, Mossin will officially receive the award after leading the Ninja A-League Grand Final 2026 on Saturday.

 

A rapid rise

After debuting in 2023, Mossin has quickly proved quality, composure and confidence as a referee in the Ninja A-League.

As a result of the achievement, Mossin will be the appointed referee for this weekend’s Grand Final between Melbourne City FC and Wellington Phoenix.

After beginning in the North West Sydney Football Association, Mossin then honed her craft with the Football NSW Referee Academy, a journey with foundations truly embedded in youth development and grassroots football.

Thus, Mossin is not just am individual success story, but a symbol of what institutional investment and opportunities can do for young women looking for a pathway to the game.

 

Celebrating success

The plaudits, unsurprisngly, are arriving from across Australia’s football landscape, with many emphasising the incredible standards set by Mossin since her debut just three years ago.

“This award is testament to Isabella’s hard work and dedication to refereeing, and a great reflection of the next generation of referees coming through the system in Australia,” said A-Leagues CEO, Steve Rosich.

“At just 25 years of age, she has consistently demonstrated composure, leadership, strong decision-making and the ability to perform under pressure in some of the biggest matches in the competition,” highlighted Football Australia Head of Referees, Jon Moss.

“Having someone refereeing their first Ninja A-league Women’s Grand Final at the age of 25 years should inspire all girls and young women referees (and potential referees) and show them that age is not a barrier to talent being recognised within Football Australia refereeing,” said Chair of Football Australia Referee Committee, David Elleray.

Given Mossin’s reputation and experience already at the top level of women’s football in Australia, there is no doubt that she will rise to the occasion this Saturday.
