Cover: drills and techniques to develop up-tempo defense
Drills and Techniques to Develop Up-Tempo Defense
with Gene Peluso,
Stevens Institute of Technology Head Men's Lacrosse Coach;
Over 150 career wins

Stop reacting to your opponent's offense! Learn an up-tempo defense that will enable you to dictate to the offense, put your opponent under pressure and generate transition opportunities for your team.

Using a mixture of classroom presentations and on-field demonstrations, Gene Peluso outlines the basic rules and principles for his "30 Second Defense." Using easy to understand slide presentations and diagrams, Coach Peluso presents a variety of different defensive ideas and game scenarios. He then takes you to the practice field to demonstrate a wide variety of drills that will help your defense dictate to the offense, rather than simply reacting to it.

With both settled and unsettled drills--ranging from 1-on-1 to half and full field--Peluso shows how to take advantage of the special situations defenses face on the field. He includes clear explanations and on-field drills demonstrating:

  • Full field 5-v-4 with the emphasis on aggressive defense and moving the ball.
  • A variety of unsettled situations to ensure your players can improvise and react to what's in front of them.
  • 4-v-4 Pressure Drill showing the fundamentals of off-ball play while putting maximum pressure on the ball carrier.
  • 1-v-1 with Slider teaching your players how to play on-ball, as well as how to time slides.
  • 2-v-2 Alley Drill with an emphasis on clearing and riding under pressure.
  • Points System - This valuable technique will reward your players for executing the fundamentals correctly and implementing the defensive philosophy with the added benefit of ensuring practices are competitive and intense.
The video is aimed at coaches working with more advanced players but would help anyone looking to instill an aggressive defensive philosophy with strong fundamentals and a team ethos.

This is an aggressive defense that will dictate the pace of the game, provide your offense with more scoring opportunities and putting your team in a position to win.

"Take Charge" Defensive Drills
with Amy Bokker,
Stanford University Head Women's Lacrosse Coach;
Assistant Coach and Defensive coordinator for the US Women's National Lacrosse team,
2 time Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Coach of the Year

Control and dictate the movement of your opponent's attackers using body positioning, stick positioning and footwork.

Using marker board diagrams and on field demonstrations, Amy Bokker showcases a series of 10 progressive drills to develop the footwork, body position, and hand position you need to successfully play individual defense.

The drills progress from individual skills in one-on-one situations into small game situations that require teamwork and communication. More advanced drills include 4v4 man-to-man, double team drills and 6V6 team drills. These advanced drills will show you how to develop pressure, how to double team attackers, 1st 2nd and 3rd slide package movement, and how to defend and hand off cutters.

Coach Bokker also demonstrates a 3v3v3 drill that will enhance your players' situational field awareness.

These drills are meant to help defenders take charge of a determined attack individually and in team defense. Included are drills that focused on gaining possession of the ball and then moving it or protecting it for short periods. These competitive drills will keep your players moving and working in teams to gain the ball, defend against passes, and create turnovers through aggressive play, containment, and double teams.

Add these drills to your practice plan and watch as your defensive players take charge of their end of the field.

Cover: competitive wash drills
Competitive Wash Drills
with Russ Rose,
Penn State University Head Coach;
Four consecutive NCAA Championships (2010, 2009, 2008, 2007) and five overall; 4x NCAA Championship Coach;
3X AVCA National Coach of the Year,
over 1000 career coaching victories,
recognized by USA Volleyball as one of their All-Time Great Coaches in 2005

Russ Rose's collection of unique drills will spark your team's competitive fire! Great drills for stressing the importance of teamwork and letting your team play the game of volleyball versus working on individual skills. Each drill uses the "Wash Scoring System:" teams play a series of two-ball rallies and must win both balls to score a point, otherwise, it's a wash and no points are scored. This allows you to handicap the scoring of the games and control how the balls are delivered into play when you have a great deal of talent on one side of the net and lesser talent on the other side. The drills also allow you to separate your starters and force them to compete against each other.
