to thousands of hours of highlight video from high school athletes
and teams CAMERON PARK, Calif. and LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 16
/PRNewswire/ -- MaxPreps.com, the leading online high school sports
network, today announced a partnership with Agile Sports
Technologies whereby MaxPreps.com will serve as the exclusive sales
agent to high schools for Agile's proprietary Internet-based sports
video editing system, Hudl. (maxpreps.com/hudl) Initially created
for NFL teams and now used by 500 high schools and colleges in 43
states across the country, Hudl is a cutting edge, yet affordable
video editing system which is operated completely on the Internet.
With Hudl, high school coaches are able to edit their team's video
and do their scouting analysis from any Internet connected
computer. MaxPreps.com will market the Hudl system to the over
30,000 high school coaches across 12,523 high school athletic
departments who are currently active participants in loading their
team's rosters, schedules, scores and news onto MaxPreps.com. As an
upside to this partnership, Hudl coaches will be able to instantly
share the best clips from their game with a national audience
through MaxPreps.com and CBS Sports. MaxPreps.com users will have
access to thousands of hours of highlight video from high school
athletics. Whether you are a coach, player, family, friend, college
recruiting coordinator or just a fan, MaxPreps.com will be the
destination on the Internet for access to high school sports video
from across the United States. "We have considered opportunities to
market other sports video editing systems in the past, but Hudl is
so revolutionary in its approach to video editing and analysis we
felt a strong need to become involved," said Andy Beal, President
of MaxPreps.com. "Hudl provides an incredible degree of utility to
high school coaches and athletes and fits perfectly into
MaxPreps.com's strategy of providing the best Internet-based tools
to coaches while at the same time providing fans with high-quality
video from schools from through-out the country." "We are very
excited about our partnership with MaxPreps.com, and the time
savings and additional exposure it will provide for our teams using
Hudl," said David Graff, Chief Executive Officer of Agile Sports
Technologies, Inc. "MaxPreps.com has done an incredible job
delivering rosters, scores, schedules, and news on high school
teams around the country and our partnership will allow coaches to
no longer have to duplicate their work to ensure their team is
getting maximum coverage." Hudl allows coaches and players to have
secure online access to their video and breakdown from anywhere
they have an internet connection. The system enables coaches to add
voice notes, create text notes, and draw John Madden-style
telestrations directly on top of their video and then share these
notes with specific players. Players can review their clips at
home, take note of the coaches' suggestions, and then be ready to
make the corrections on the field the next day. Hudl can be
controlled with an Xbox 360(TM) remote which allows players to feel
like they are playing a video game as they study their film from
home. As they watch film, athletes can tag individual plays to
create their own highlight videos which can be shared with family,
friends, and college recruiters online rather than burning DVDs.
