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.
The Triple option is an American football formation used to offer multiple ways to progress the football forward in the field of play. The triple option is based around the option run, but uses three players who may run with the ball instead of the two that are used in the standard option run. There are three basic forms of triple option: the wishbone triple option, the veer triple option, and the I formation triple option. These differ in terms of the personnel on the field and their positioning prior to the beginning of the play.
The triple option forces defenses to worry about multiple running options on a single play. For the offense, the decision of who to carry the ball (which option to make) is made during the play by the QB. The QB makes the decision whether to give the ball to the FB or to keep the ball based on what the Defensive End does. If the DE pinches down, the QB pulls the ball. If the DE runs straight up field or directly at the QB then the QB gives the ball to the FB. The triple option can be complemented by fixed running plays which start like the triple option but use traditional blocking, as well as play-action passing.
with Chuck Peterson, former Offensive Coordinator United States Air Force Academy
Coach Peterson begins with the mechanics of both the quarterback and fullback to insure a proper `mesh' in providing sound ball handling and preventing fumbles. He then goes through the four different reads the quarterback must make in determining whether he keeps the ball or hands it to the fullback. He also goes through the proper reads to determine whether the ball is pitched or not. Coach Peterson breaks down three plays within the Triple Option Series - the inside veer, midline option and a play action package off both running plays. He diagrams and demonstrates each play against both 7-man fronts (i.e. 50, 4-3) and 8-man fronts (i.e. eagle), runs them to both the strong and weak side and from different formations, breaking down responsibilities for each position. To counter the defense, Peterson draws up a play action series for both option plays, including pass protection assignments and pass routes. This is a terrific tape detailing one of the game's most successful offenses.

with Kerry Coombs, Colerain HS (OH) Head Coach; and Rick Haynes, Colerain HS (OH) Offensive Coordinator; 2004 Ohio State Champions
The triple option has many benefits: Option football does not require great linemen, it can use time and dictate tempo, it is difficult to prepare for, and simulating the option is hard for opponents to do in practice. At the high school level, having good players at the quarterback, dive back and the pitch position will give you a great chance to be successful. Coach Haynes explores Colerain's system of triple option football. Haynes divides the line into a quick side and strong side. He presents two blocking schemes against the "50 Front." The inside veer can be used against a "4 linebacker" look. Running the ball to the "1 technique" is a part of this attack. A double team scheme is taught for specific situations, and is demonstrated on the board in this DVD. Because of savvy defenses, many adjustments must be made with this offense. Haynes goes through a step-by-step approach to making changes during the game. This presentation concludes with game footage, which enhances the presentation.

Midline and Outside Veer Plays from the Triple Option
with Kerry Coombs, Colerain HS (OH) Head Coach; and Rick Haynes, Colerain HS (OH) Offensive Coordinator; 2004 Ohio State Champions
Colerain HS annually fields one of the top football teams in Ohio, based on their solid running attack and stingy defense. Coach Haynes feels that if only two of the three options are good players, you can still have a great attack. Starting with the Veer, Haynes breaks down the blocking schemes against the 50 defense player by player, as well as the schemes versus a 4-3 and a 3-3 Stack Defense. Line play depends on quickness and angles, not great size and strength. Haynes shows the 46 and 47 to run for the Veer, as well as the outside Veer. Midline is a run scheme that attacks the middle of the defense and involves the quarterback and the fullback. The midline option is called 40 and 41. The key is to make the defense think you are running the triple option. Haynes points out two important adjustments in the option. Marker board presentation and game footage help reinforce these teaching points and techniques. This DVD can guide you to run successfully against different alignments.

The Power Option Passing Game
with Gerald Brence, Plano Senior HS (TX) Head Coach; 2X Texas 5A "Coach of the Year"
Plano High football squad may be know for the power option, but its passing game has also played a big part in winning three 5A Texas state championships. Coach Brence keeps the passing game very simple, only throwing the ball 10 to 15 times per game. His quarterbacks are given one or two receiver routes with instruction to run if the options are covered. All of the pass plays diagrammed in this DVD are designed to keep defenses honest against a strong running team. The Quick Pass works well against the eight-man front or soft corners when the defense is stacked against the option. The Tunnel Screen is an excellent counter to the sweep. Hot Routes are used to counter Plano's best running play, the Tight End Load. Other plays to counter the option include the 18/19 Sweep, which will counter a free safety keying on the quarterback. Front and Backside Post Routes and Trips stretch the field and keep the other defensive backs honest. Brence also discusses his Bootleg scheme, which complements Plano's inside running plays. As a bonus, Brence explains three of his favorite misdirection plays, including two reverses. Finally, Brence explains 12 everyday passing drills for the quarterback, wide receiver and offensive linemen. This video is an excellent complement to Coach Brence's Installing the Power Option DVD.

with Jerry Campbell, Head Football Coach, Clovis (CA) High School
Everything you need to know about installing the option game into your offense is included in this youth football coaching video! Coach Campbell teaches the midline option, veer option and load option. Knowing these three different types of option gives your team a great play against any defense. Run the midline option if the opponent puts a player in a three technique, the veer option if a defensive player is in a five technique, and run the load option against nine techniques. Coach Campbell goes over each option in great detail. Every position is walked through from the tailback steps to the offensive line combo blocking schemes. In this video/dvd, Campbell also demonstrates how the quarterback should make the option play call at the line of scrimmage. This puts the defense at a distinct disadvantage by always having the wrong defense called. Excellent coaching instruction that is applicable for any level football team from one of the top football clinicians and teachers in the game today!
