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.

Chris Strausser: Coaching Inside and Outside Zone Schemes
with Chris Strausser, Boise State University Tight Ends Coach
There are similar aspects of teaching Boise State's inside and outside zone as presented by Coach Strausser in this excellent lecture-style presentation. Both have combination blocks but the aiming points are different. The aiming points are wider and the reads are specific for backs, yet the players up front focus on zone concepts, which make up 75% of the running game. Fundamentally they deal with the same block, though the inside zone deals with drive blocking and vertical movement while the outside scheme teaches base reach. Zone philosophy is directed by downhill, physical play and double teams. Game footage helps illustrate and reinforce all of the concepts and schemes discussed.

With 37 years of experience to his name, Bill Young's success and knowledge of defensive football is hard to match. Coaching stops at Ohio State, USC, and the Detroit Lions dot his resume as one of the nation's top defensive coaches. In this DVD, he shares his thoughts, diagrams and drills on zone blitzing. At KU, blitzing has been a huge part of their overall defensive scheme. Blitzing is an attitude and requires an aggressive, attacking style. Players must commit to getting up the field and making things happen by putting pressure on the quarterback and penetrating the run. The element of surprise and disguise are keys to a winning defense. Areas covered are the blitz vs. the pass where the goals are to hit and harass the QB, create confusion and...
Led by Coach Clint Bowen, the 2005 Jayhawks finished #1 in the Big 12 and #2 nationally in kick off coverage. This success is due to the "keep it simple" philosophy and detailed drill work on the practice field. With an average drive start at the 22.2 yard line, the Kansas "SWAT" team swarmed its opponent with an aggressive, attacking style. Using a PowerPoint presentation and game footage, Coach Bowen effectively details the key points of his teaching philosophy. He describes a "kick middle" team (each player is numbered 1-5 on the right and left side of the ball) and how "Taking the line" incorporates timing the kicker's approach and hitting the line at full speed. Kicking coverage is won or lost in the speed and read...
