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.

with Chuck Klausing, College Football Hall of Fame ('98); .821 NCAA Winning Percentage in 16 years as college head coach
Football legend Chuck Klausing, a 46-year veteran of coaching football, breaks down the motion variations from the Jet series. Jet motion evolved over time and is wingback motion behind the quarterback. In studying Jet Sweep motion, Coach Klausing found it was a great addition to the Wing T. It offers deception and power to the offense. The sweep is fast, the wing back is at full speed, and it spreads the flank wider which opens up plays inside. All facets of this offense are diagrammed and explained on overhead, followed by actual game footage of the Jet Motion. In all, 28 keys to this offense are listed including the '180 pivot by quarterback,' 'hand off in A gap,' 'quarterback hands off ball with right hand' and the 'quarterback fake.' To further explain the Jet Motion, Klausing and OB Coach Jeff Simmons take the team to the practice field and run the offense.
