Predator Football App
· v5
About
Predator Football turns your Garmin watch into a full football (soccer) match tracker — press Start and it records a proper Soccer-type activity, no manual reclassifying needed, then gives you the metrics a normal running watch doesn't.
While you play, it tracks:
High-Speed Running and Sprint distance, with a live sprint count
Peak speed and pace
Acceleration/deceleration counts and your sharpest burst of the match
Player Load, a per-second workload score built from your speed and how hard you accelerate, so you can tell a hard match from a light one
Movement state (Stopped/Walk/Jog/HSR/Sprint) charted across the whole match
A live position grid showing roughly where on the pitch you've been playing, auto-built from GPS with nothing to set up — corrected for accuracy the moment you hit Save
A persistent on-screen GPS signal indicator, so you always know your positional tracking is healthy — with a quiet vibration alert if signal is lost mid-match
Mark Half-Time with one tap to split First Half and Second Half in Garmin Connect. If the match goes to extra time, Mark Extra Time tags those periods separately too.
Everything about how the app behaves is yours to tune, directly on the watch, no phone needed:
All five speed thresholds behind HSR, Sprint, and the rest
GPS Configuration — GPS Only, GPS + GLONASS, or GPS + Galileo
Optional Speed and Heart Rate Alerts (using your own Garmin HR zones)
Everything syncs to Garmin Connect as a Soccer activity with the usual GPS map, heart rate, and distance, plus this app's own stats in the activity summary and laps.
