Have questions about Hudl Assist? We have the answers.

Hudl Assist is the fastest, easiest way to get the data you need to Win Together. It gives you detailed team and individual stats, with every data point linked directly to video. That means no more manual tagging, just reports, automatic athlete playlists, and highlight reels that show your team exactly what happened on the field or court.

We know time is everything, and we’re staffed 24/7 to keep pace. When you submit a game, you can choose between two options:

• Standard Priority gives you your data in the order it was requested.
• Express Priority moves you up the queue for quicker access when you need it fast. 

The price is based on a few factors: your sport, your level of play, and whether you want to include opponent scouting data. We encourage you to check out our Assist pricing page for more details.

You can send your game to Assist during your upload process or after the video has been added to your library—either from your iOS device or from your computer. You’ll fill in details about your game—like jersey colors, which athletes played, and the final score —and then our team gets the alert that your game is ready to tag. We'll send you a notification as soon as the game data is available to view.

Hudl Assist tags both team and athlete stats, and the details depend on your sport. For a full list of data available to your sport, check out the following:

• American Football
• Basketball
• Soccer
• Lacrosse
• Ice Hockey
• Baseball

Hudl Assist uses a combination of professional human analysts and, in some sports, advanced AI technology to tag every key moment. This provides teams with a comprehensive set of data and reports.

Absolutely. See our support tutorial on adding your own tags to your video.

Team Admins and Coaches can submit games to Assist. Once the breakdown is complete, everyone on the team—including athletes—will be able to view the tags on the video and the data in the Reports.

For most sports, the core of Hudl Assist relies on a team of trained analysts who manually tag every play, event, and statistic in a video. However, we’ve increasingly integrated artificial intelligence into our services to enhance this process in specific sports.

For volleyball teams, we offer Hudl Assist powered by Balltime AI. This AI uses computer vision to automatically track player movements, ball contacts, and other key actions. It speeds up the breakdown process and provides deeper insights, such as heat maps and advanced metrics, that would be difficult to tag manually.

Yes, you can still view your video while your game is being tagged. You'll want to hold off from adding your own tags, though—any tags you add will be removed once you receive your full breakdown.

Hudl Assist subscriptions come in two types:

1. Game, which covers your team’s game footage only.
2. Game and Scout, which covers both your team's game footage and opponent scout footage.

All teams can submit up to three games per 24-hour period to Assist, and for certain sports or parts of the season, Hudl may raise that limit.

No, your Assist subscription applies to your current season.

No, both teams must submit their game video to Hudl Assist independently to get the postgame stats for their team.

Hudl Assist+ builds on the foundation of Hudl Assist by bringing deeper analysis, previously limited to college or professional teams, to all teams. Assist+ is currently only available for soccer and American football teams.

It happens automatically. After your game is tagged, we use that data to create a custom playlist for every player on your roster. It’s ready to go the moment the breakdown is complete.

A "starting rotation" refers to the specific lineup a coach chooses for the beginning of a set. Rotation 1 usually means your primary setter starts in right back (position 1). For example: if your team starts set 1 with the serve and your setter serves first, that’s Rotation 1. In set 2, if you’re in serve receive but still want your setter to serve first, you shift the lineup back one spot—putting the setter in right front instead. That means you’re starting in Rotation 6.

A common rotation: 

• Rotation 1: Your first setter serves.
• Rotation 2: The player following the first setter, usually an outside, serves.
• Rotation 3: The player following your rotation 2 server, usually a middle, serves.
• Rotation 4: The opposite/right side or second setter serves.
• Rotation 5: The player after your opposite, usually your second outside, serves.
• Rotation 6: The player after your rotation 5 server, usually your second middle, serves.

Hudl Assist uses the expertise of human analysts to tag every team and athlete statistic for both teams playing, ensuring the data is correct and comprehensive. This makes it ideal for in-depth opponent scouting since it tags team and player statistics for both teams. 

Assist powered by Balltime AI uses computer vision to automatically track player movements, ball contacts, and other key actions. It speeds up the breakdown process and provides deeper insights, such as heat maps and advanced metrics, that would be difficult to tag manually. The AI-powered breakdown is extremely fast, but may occasionally miss minor details due to players blocking the view. You can easily correct these yourself, or opt for an expert analyst to refine the data for accuracy. Important: This service requires video to be recorded from the endline.

Hudl Assist powered by Balltime AI is currently only available for club volleyball teams. Learn more about Hudl Assist powered by Balltime AI or sign up for the waitlist.

Hudl Assist is a great tool for a broad, team-wide analysis. Hudl Assist+ provides additional tags for individual offensive skill players who touch the ball within a game, such as the Passer, Rusher and Receiver.

While Assist+ data is accessible on Hudl Classic, it becomes more powerful in the new library experience, thanks to faster filters and a more dynamic analysis environment.

Hudl Assist provides the essential, high-level, team-based data. Hudl Assist+ provides a more granular, player-specific and location-based breakdown of every action on the pitch, ensuring every athlete gets tagged in moments throughout the game. Learn more about the difference between Assist and Assist+.
