FastModel Sports

What FastModel Sports does

FastModel Sports is a software company that builds coaching tools for basketball and hockey programs, operating today as a subsidiary brand under Hudl (Agile Sports Technologies, Inc.). The company's core suite comprises three integrated products: FastDraw, a play diagramming and playbook platform that lets coaches draw, animate, organize, and distribute plays to player devices; FastScout, a scouting and opponent analysis tool that produces custom reports with video embedding, player statistics, and AI-driven analytics; and FastRecruit, a year-round recruiting management platform that handles prospect notes, communication, depth charts, draft boards, high school schedules, and transfer portal data. Complementary tools include ProspectView, a roster planning module covering current players, draft targets, international prospects, and trade assets, and Playbank, a community-sourced library of basketball plays.

The technical architecture centers on web-based applications (fastdraw.fastmodelsports.com, fastscout.fastmodelsports.com, fastrecruit.fastmodelsports.com) plus mobile apps, all designed to operate as workflow layers on top of Hudl's broader video analysis, wearable tracking, and recruitment infrastructure. Integrations with Hudl Sportscode and Hudl Instat extend FastModel's analytics reach. AI capabilities are scoped primarily to FastScout for scouting report generation and opponent breakdowns.

FastModel generates revenue through subscription licensing for its three core products on a quote-based pricing model with no publicly disclosed rates, sold via two motions: enterprise sales through Hudl's field organization for college, professional, and large high school programs, and self-serve web sign-up for youth and smaller programs. The customer base spans college basketball (primary), high school, professional (NBA, WNBA, G-League, international), youth, and hockey programs at multiple levels, with marquee customers including Virginia Men's Basketball, Clemson Women's Basketball, Iowa Women's Basketball, and the Toronto Raptors. Leadership comprises CEO Jim Goodwin and founder Ross Comerford, with the company founded in 2003 and headquartered (via its operating parent) in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Emerging players

• TeamSnap: Team management platform used widely across youth and amateur sports. Comparable to FastModel as a sports coaching/team workflow peer at the youth and amateur level, though oriented around scheduling/communication rather than play diagramming and scouting.
• Coach's Eye: Mobile video analysis tool for coaches and athletes to break down film and share feedback. Comparable to FastModel in the mobile-first coaching video and breakdown workflow, particularly in youth and amateur basketball where FastModel also competes.
• ShotTracker: Basketball-focused sensor and analytics company providing real-time shot and possession data for teams and broadcasters. Comparable to FastModel as a basketball-specific analytics peer, though more focused on tracking/sensor data than play diagramming and scouting.
• GameChanger: Live game scoring, video, and team management app from DICK'S Sporting Goods used across youth and high school sports. Comparable to FastModel as a youth/high school sports software peer targeting the same amateur coaching and program-management workflows.

Direct peers

• Krossover: Video breakdown and analytics platform originally built for basketball and now part of the Hudl portfolio. Comparable because it serves the same college and high school basketball market with game-prep and scouting workflows that overlap FastScout and FastDraw.
• Synergy Sports Technology: Long-standing basketball video and advanced analytics provider used by NBA, NCAA, and pro leagues. Directly comparable to FastModel because it sells into the same college and pro basketball customers for scouting, breakdown, and game-preparation workflows, often competing head-to-head for the same coaching budget.
• InStat: Basketball and hockey video/analytics platform, also part of the Hudl ecosystem. Closely comparable to FastModel because it targets the same professional, college, and youth basketball/hockey coaching customers for scouting, opponent breakdowns, and player analytics.

Broad incumbents

• Catapult Sports: Public sports technology company specializing in athlete monitoring, wearable tracking, and performance analytics used by elite teams globally. Comparable to FastModel as a broader sports performance software peer serving the same pro and college coaching customers, with overlapping analytics budgets.
• Stats Perform: Large sports data and AI analytics company serving leagues, media, and betting operators across multiple sports. Comparable to FastModel as a sports analytics/data platform peer, although more focused on professional leagues and media than coaching workflows.
• Hudl: Parent company and the dominant sports video/analytics platform across high school and college sports. Direct comparable because Hudl's video analysis, Sportscode, and Instat/Krossover offerings overlap with FastModel's scouting and play-diagramming workflows, and FastModel is now sold through Hudl's distribution.
