You’re in the right place.
Hudl Instat is an opponent scouting and performance analysis tool built into the Hudl ecosystem. It brings together pre-tagged video, advanced statistics and tactical breakdowns in one place — so your staff spends less time building the picture and more time acting on it.
Instat is built for the people doing the real work of preparation. College and pro coaches use it for game prep and in-season tactical adjustments. Scouts and recruiters use it to track and evaluate talent across global leagues. Video analysts and coordinators use it for deep film work and data-driven breakdowns. And front office staff use it to support player evaluations and roster decisions.
The biggest time-saver is pre-tagged video — no more manual tagging, which means hours back in your week. Beyond that, Instat opens up a cross-competition database that lets you track and compare players across global leagues, not just the ones in your backyard.
Instat draws from a global sports library covering international competitions in basketball and ice hockey. That includes pre-tagged opponent video, detailed event tracking — shot attempts, possessions, player movements — and traditional and advanced statistics linked directly to the relevant video clips.
The cross-competition database lets you track player performance across leagues worldwide. From there, automated reports and visualizations surface the information your staff actually needs. The search and filter interface is built for analysts — fast, flexible and easy to navigate. And trend analysis tools help you identify opponent tendencies, strengths and weaknesses before you ever walk into a film session.
Ice hockey covers 1,500+ competitions. Basketball covers 900+. For major leagues, Instat carries 10+ years of historical data — enough context to spot trends that matter and evaluate players across full career arcs.
Turnaround time varies by league and competition — so while we don't publish a single number, we do have internal service level guidelines in place to make sure your staff isn't waiting around. Reach out to your Hudl rep and they can walk you through what to expect for the specific leagues and competitions your program relies on.
Hudl works directly with leagues and competitions around the globe to source video and data through official rights agreements.
Yes — and that's one of its biggest strengths. Instat connects directly with Hudl Sportscode for custom analysis, scripting and bespoke breakdowns. It works with Hudl for storing, sharing, clipping and collaborating on video. And it integrates with Fastmodel for customizable reports and prospect organisation.
Yes. Instat is built to flex around your staff's workflow, not the other way around. You can filter and organise data by the metrics that matter most to your program, build reports tailored to specific opponents or recruiting targets, and surface the video moments your coaches actually need to see.
Hudl offers several ways to get your staff up and running — and keep them there. Hudl Academy is an on-demand learning platform with courses built specifically for different sports and products. The Help Center has a full library of step-by-step guides, and the "Training with Hudl" YouTube channel covers the same ground for anyone who learns better by watching. For direct help, Hudl's global support team is available to work through questions with you.
