with Rick Kelm, Ripon HS (WI) Head Football Coach; 2005 & 2003 Wisconsin Class 4 State Champions, 2003 Wisconsin High School Coach of the Year
Special teams play has been a key to Ripon High Schools 38-2 record over the past three seasons. Coach Kelm believes that special teams must receive as much emphasis in practice and planning as offense and defense. Being aggressive and calculated make this special teams' package effective. Ten unique situations make up this special teams package. These areas include kick off, onside kick, kick off return, hands team, punt, punt fake, punt block, punt return, extra point/field goal and fake extra point/field goal. The punt game, onside package, punt block systems make it difficult for the opponent to prepare for Ripon. In all, 20% of all plays in a high school game are special team situations. This DVD is a complete presentation on special teams at the high school level and has been a crucial part of the consistent success at Ripon High School.
Item Number: FD-02637Inside Linebacker Technique & Reads for the 4-4 Defense
with Bryan Collins, C.W. Post College Head Coach; 4X Northeast-10 Conference Champions, 3X NCAA Division II playoff qualifier
Coach Collins is committed to the 8 man front, "G" defense. A big part of this defense's success is the play of inside linebackers. In this DVD, Collins breaks down technique and coaching emphasis for developing solid inside linebackers. He begins by highlighting the proper stance. Collins believes that good players prepare before every snap to afford them a chance to make the play. To that extent he covers the pre-snap reads that should be made. A key concept for reads that Collins teaches is to "fill open windows" and "scrape closed doors" in a fast flow. The scrape is a linebacker technique that requires hands on the guard and use of the press technique. Other reads discussed include the full flow read and the rock flow. Linebackers are taught to play only with eyes, feet and hands and are drilled accordingly. Technique drills include the force, scrape and press technique, and are illustrated by practice players. Additional drills are used to demonstrate backfield flow and gaps, leverage and play against receiver routes. From the marker board to the drill footage, Collins examines the play of inside linebackers within his defensive scheme. Improved linebacker play will help your defense and make it difficult for opponents to score on you!

Attack Mentality Versus the Run Using the 4-4 Defense
with Frank Chimienti, C.W. Post College Defensive Coordinator
Coach Chimienti believes that "linebackers make tackles, but linemen make tackles for losses." Aggressive players "get off the ball" and this must be drilled and developed in practice. To that extent, Chimienti presents the techniques and drills he uses at C.W. Post to instill an "Attack Mentality." To be successful in attack mentality football, it is essential to crowd the football. A good stance will help defensive linemen to make plays on the other side of the line. Chimienti teaches both the right and left-handed stance. The drills demonstrated include the get off drill, tag drill, the shoot drill, the defense on defense drill and the reach drill. These drills work on explosiveness to help players get off the line and get to the ball quicker. Good execution of these drills will include escapes such as the lock out, pulling the gate, open it, get underneath it, rip off and make the play. Chimienti also covers visual and pressure keys for each of the defensive linemen. The use of practice and game videotape strengthens this presentation on run progression. Each block and technique is carefully presented by Chimienti to help you gain valuable knowledge for teaching your defensive linemen!
