Major website upgrade
Written by  Amarildo Shaqiri

Over the last 6 months we at Eurostar have been working on implementing a Content Management System (hereafter CMS) that would allow us to take the Academy in its intended direction.

We have spent many sleepless nights working hard to deliver a platform that can support our operations in terms of fulfilling our educational commitments to our athletes. I am very proud to introduce this upgrade and would like to say goodbye to eurostarcamps.com which has been our home for over 13 years. Our new CMS Website is supported by over 200,000 volunteers who put in their efforts world wide to deliver such a powerful platform. We are now running a powerful news delivery system and started a blog for young footballers and their parents. Our billing and support system has been integrated with our website.

While some of the new features are not presently implemented, I want to take the time to introduce to you our future plans.

1. Schedule emailing you reminders about events like soccer practice, games or tournaments.
2. Delivering a platform for our athletes where they can post their CV along with media attachments like a soccer video. This is where our agents, coaches and recruiters access the system to evaluate our players for possible tryouts.
3. Delivering a platform for training of our athletes while not on the field. This educational tool would be used as an addition to on-field training. This platform would also be used to instruct our coaches on the full year training curriculum.
4. Integrate the survey and marking system into the CMS.

The sky is the limit because these community of programmers have come up with over 50,000 extensions which can be used to fit our needs. The new CMS allows us to deliver near perfect results without error, this is true when it comes to scheduling, support, billing and other matters of delivery.

The future is digital for Eurostar. We are soon going to introduce a new method of learning on the field currently being used only in Europe. We are also currently researching the incorporation of motion capture technology to deliver a perfect digital instructor on the field. The delivery equipment has already arrived. Stay tuned to this blog for that big announcement.
