MaxPreps.com & Agile Sports Technologies Team Up Around Sports Video Editing & Analysis System Hudl

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™ 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.
