With support from Chase, Hudl awards grants to select schools to strengthen athletic programs and expand resources for student-athletes
Hudl announced select schools across the U.S. as recipients of the Play it Forward Grant - Presented by Chase™. The grants provide funding directly to school athletic departments to help address essential program needs—ensuring coaches and athletes have the resources to compete and thrive at the highest level on and off the field.
“At Hudl, we see firsthand the dedication of coaches and the grit of student-athletes every day,” said Adam Gouttierre, Vice President of Media at Hudl. “Partnering with Chase allows us to go beyond our software and hardware and provide tangible support that removes barriers to success. We are thrilled to see how these schools in Alabama will use these funds to amplify their impact.”
While the needs of every athletic department are unique, each of the recipients demonstrated a clear commitment to student-athlete development and a vision for how additional funding could bridge the gap between their current resources and their program's full potential. The grant is designed to be flexible so athletic departments can address their most urgent needs—such as equipment, facility improvements, or travel—while staying aligned to student-athlete benefit.
