Notification:
The Football Suite contains five program today. When another program is developed it will be added to the suite. The goal is for you to eliminate any costs of your current environment with the $0 licensing fee for the Football Suite. You could start with Football Analysis and get dozens of new reports using data imported from Hudl or other video systems. The new Grading program does not require any data from Hudl. You just need your game video files. The Highlight program is now capable of generating highlight videos.
User Safety
No program in the Football Suite will send any data to anyone. If there is ever have an issue with a program we may ask you to package data files and email them to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Assistant Software Coach is a one person operation. Our programs are unable to achieve Microsoft's safe status because the number of users is too small. Therefore, you will probably get a warning message when you invoke one of our programs. I have been delivering programs to coaches since 1988 and have never had any malware issues.
Video Editor
Video Editor is a full-fledged football video editing tool suitable for any coach. It supports both sideline and end zone video. It is structured to support more than two cameras if that is ever needed.
The Video Editor not only has the tools to pair sideline with end zone video, but it lets you view the raw video and generate the play data. The program will create a "csv" file that can be uploaded to Hudl. If you have created the paired video, the program lets you generate the play data while viewing the paired play video. And if you have a lengthy bus ride, the game data can be generated during the trip.
Football Analysis
Football Analysis has advanced report generation by creating each report as a web page. You can view samples by clicking Offense Opponent Sample Reports or Defense Opponent Sample Reports. Now each coach can access reports from anywhere using his smart phone, tablet, or computer. You may have even more players willing to review a report because they are very accustomed to viewing everything online. Web pages are much more flexible than a 8.5 by 11 inch sheet of paper which allows us to create whatever you need.
We added a new feature to create PDF files for the reports. You can print the reports with Adobe Reader. Several coaches just had to have paper, but we feel web based reports is the future.
We are seeking report formats to include in our package. So, if you have a favorite report or two, please email a pdf file or jpg image to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We will add it to the appropriate set.
Report Video
Report Video combines tabular reports with individual plays (sideline and end zone combined) created by Video Editor. You can select from all the tabular reports generated by Football Analysis. You just click on a data field in the report and the video displays all plays whose game data is used in the data field.
Grading
The Grading program allows you to determine when a player makes good or bad decisions physically and mentally. The results are not totaled or averaged. It is designed to for the coach to identify where more training is needed. You watch raw game video and record results for each player in your defined set of players. (You can also watch video on Hudl and switch to the Grading program to record results.)
I am seeking input on what you measure for Offense, Defense, and Special Teams. (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 217-390-1734 : please leave a short message if I don't answer)

The Highlight program is useful for football and many other sports as well as your home videos. The program lets you create video segments and then combine in a single video with optional panels that give information about each segment.
Licensing
There are no licensing fees for using any programs in the Football Suite. These programs use open source libraries and the code for these programs is freely available under standard licensing.
