Using Custom Reports

Along with having several built-in, interactive reports, Hudl also has custom reports to help you quickly and easily generate powerful breakdowns to suit your team’s specific needs without having to spend a lot of time designing a report. Custom reports are a great way to analyze specific tendencies and notice trends of the game you wouldn’t normally see. These reports can be created with just two clicks and generate in seconds. All of Hudl’s reports are created in the video library, are available online, and can be shared to your entire team for any sport.

Before starting this tutorial, go to the Hudl video library and load a playlist. For more information about accessing the library and loading a playlist, see the Watching Videos in Hudl tutorial.
