FIBA endorsed FastScout Pro gaining traction across international basketball

MIES (Switzerland) - The FIBA-endorsed software FastScout Pro has been leaving a mark in international basketball recently by helping coaches improve and elevate their national team programs with its multipurpose coaching and scouting platforms.   

FastModel Sports, the maker of FastScout Pro, is an endorsed partner in the FIBA Equipment & Venue Centre's Coaching & Player Scouting software category. The software category is part of FIBA's Approval program which was introduced in 2021 as a platform to accelerate the impacts of high-quality technology available within the sport.  

FastScout Pro is a versatile platform that can prepare fully customizable game data for teams, including box scores and stats, as well as scouting reports with automated data and video integration. It takes the traditional paper scouting report and makes it available to players and coaches online through the FastModel App, providing numerous reporting possibilities.

Play diagramming, player identification and roster management are also integrated as part of the platform. Videos of upcoming teams' plays, stats, shot charts, and strategies can also be included in one place, providing easy access to information to help ensure teams can perform at their best.

One of the many national team programs that have taken advantage of FastScout Pro and utilized the platforms to help their coaches elevate their game is South Sudan.

Fortune Solomon, South Sudan assistant coach, said it was instrumental in putting the South Sudanese in a position to win games. FastScout Pro has allowed the national team's staff to do more work in less time with automated workflows and file sharing. 

"FastScout Pro has helped prepare how we want to guard certain players, what we need to take away from the other team, as well as the overall makeup of the team," Solomon said. "The platform has saved me a lot of time, which in this business is a necessity."

The results of the South Sudanese speak for themselves since first utilizing  FastScout Pro at the FIBA AfroBasket 2021, where they finished seventh. In the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 African Qualifiers, South Sudan is the current leader in Group F with an 8-1 record that put the young national team on the doorstep of qualifying for their first FIBA Basketball World Cup. 

FastScout Pro's approach to "aggregate, organize and communicate" live game coaching and scouting data has proven to be a globally relevant software tool that maximizes resource efficiency for any basketball team.

Jim Corelis, CEO at FastModel said: "As a FIBA Endorsed Partner, FastModel believes in bringing innovation to every coach and player in the world. We empower teams at all levels to climb the basketball ranks by providing accessible technology, automated game data and talent evaluation tools from one centralized location."

The National Federations of the USA and Australia, who both recently claimed podium spots at the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2022, are also utilizing the FIBA-endorsed software from Fast Model for their senior and youth teams, along with the men's national team of Estonia.  

FIBA's Equipment & Venue Centre is committed to introducing technology that will enable coaches and team managers to maximize teams' performance and is proud to endorse FastScout Pro by FastModel for this purpose.
