The present invention provides group performance monitoring systems and methods. In one exemplary embodiment, a group monitoring device includes a display configured to display, during an athletic activity, a plurality of individual performance metrics relating to a plurality of individuals engaged in the athletic activity, each individual performance metric relating to one of the plurality of individuals; and an input to manipulate the display.

Group performance monitoring system and method

Group performance monitoring systems and methods are provided. A system for monitoring a plurality of individuals engaged in an activity may include a base station, a plurality of individual monitors to communicate wirelessly with the base station, a plurality of sensors, each sensor in communication with an individual monitor, each to be coupled to an individual, and each to sense a characteristic of the individual and to transmit, during the activity, data indicative of the characteristic to the individual monitor, and a group monitoring device to communicate wirelessly with the base station. Each individual monitor may transmit, during the activity, the data to the base station. The base station may receive the data and to transmit, during the activity, a metric based on the data to the group monitoring device. The group monitoring device may display a representation of the metric.

The present invention provides a group monitoring device for monitoring a plurality of individuals engaged in an athletic activity, the device including a display configured to display, during an athletic activity: a metric relating to each of a plurality of individuals engaged in the athletic activity, and a status of a system component used to monitor the athletic activity. The group monitoring device may also include an input configured to allow manipulation of the display.
