Lacrosse | Required Recording Workflow

Check out these recording requirements and tips to make sure you get the best video for your team and for Hudl Assist.

The Right Equipment

• Invest in up-to-date equipment like a high-definition (HD) camera or newer iPad for reliable recording and high-quality video.
• Use a tripod so you have a stable, smooth stream when recording and reviewing video. No one wants to watch an entire game of shaky video.

What to Record

• Capture the entire field and zoom in when you can but, try not to miss any of the action.
• Record the scoreboard as often as possible and always at the end of every quarter and/or half.
• Capture as many referee signals as possible.
• Make sure jersey numbers are visible.

Where to Record From

• Set up a hard recording device at midfield, about 10 rows up or from the pressbox.
• Record from a vantage point that shows all players on the field.
• Limit potential obstructions to the camera: fans, equipment, etc.
  

Tips for Recording with an iPad

• Make sure you have the latest version of the Hudl app.
• Check the iPad for software updates.
• Clean up the storage on your iPad to make room for your game (6-8 GBs of free storage).

Reasons Your Game Might be Rejected by Assist

• If you submit a scrimmage that does not follow normal game rules.
• The video is out of order.
• The zoom of the video prevents us from seeing the whole field.
• The game is filmed from a bad angle.
• There is something in the way of the camera.
• There are multiple games in one event.
