Yes. The velocity of radio waves is slightly less than the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) in the Earth’s atmosphere, so the amount of time it takes for a reader and tag to communicate is almost instantaneous.
If you need to write to a tag, that can take longer. The biggest issue is likely to be the amount of time required by a computer to look up which player is associated with which tag in the database, and then to respond accordingly. If you have a fast computer and a dedicated link between it and the interrogator, you should not have an issue.
