NAIA and Hudl Agree to Partnership Extension

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced a three year extension with Hudl to remain the ‘Official Video Technology Solution’ of the NAIA. The agreement will run through July 24 of 2025.

Over the past three years, Hudl has worked with several NAIA members on enhancing their video solution and analysis tools, which has provided them the highest quality of customer service and content to elevate their school’s athletic performance. The Hudl NAIA Athletic Department Package provides teams and schools options to customize their performance analysis and seamlessly integrate with their existing video solutions.

“Hudl has been a tremendous partner over the years and we look forward to furthering that relationship in the next three years,” said NAIA President and CEO, Jim Carr. “Video exchange is paramount to our coaches and we are happy that Hudl has been there to support our members in this effort at a high level.”

More than 200,000 teams, including some at the highest levels of sport, use Hudl to elevate their performance with video and analytics. In the last several years, the company has developed new tools, such as the Hudl Focus smart camera system, which operate autonomously during games and practices, helping coaches and athletic departments with shrinking budgets that can eliminate camera operators for game film and/or live streaming.

"We are thrilled to extend our partnership with the NAIA to continue providing teams, and their communities, the technology they need to make every moment count for student-athletes" said Matt Mueller, COO of Hudl. "In addition to supplying world class video capture, analysis and athlete recruitment solutions, NAIA schools now have access to more powerful broadcasting tools, enhanced livestreaming options, and the opportunity to make more money from their content."

Based out of Lincoln, Neb., Hudl has been providing a range of athletics video capabilities since 2006. The company’s online platform is used by more than 160,000 teams and 4.3 unique users across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
