So we wanted to bring that same automation to film recording for those coaches.” For club sports, sometimes there are nine different fields with different start times in a two-day period. “But for nearly every other sport getting the universal adoption of film culture - and trustworthy, easy-to-use technology - is one of the biggest hurdles. “For a football coach, have sort of a set it and forget it aspect,” Nelson said.

They can additionally receive film from any game recorded through the Hudl app and Focus Exchange Network. The Cavaliers turned to the Hudl Focus camera, a fixed outdoor camera equipped with real-time player tracking that allows you to stream directly to YouTube for free, to solve both of their needs. “But we also do have people who want to see their kids.” “We needed a livestreaming option for our six football teams, but did we want to pay a company a bunch of money to produce one for our 9th-grade C team?” asked Jonathan Coats, assistant football coach at Lake Travis.
