This DVD is dedicated to implementation of the Scramble Defense. A scramble, or unsettled situation, is where the offensive team has more people to attack than the defense has to defend. Building a solid 6-on-6 defense and strong Scramble play will allow you to accomplish your defensive goals. Coach Meade demonstrates a variety of unsettled situations that could potentially occur during the game. This exceptional marker board delivery begins with teaching the 2-on-1. This drill teaches players to make the opponent shoot from outside or take a low percentage shot. He progressively builds the defense from 2-on-1, to 3-on-2, 4-on-3, 5-on-4, up to 6-on-6. In each situation, Meade discusses key concepts and coverages. The difference between winning and losing could be your team's ability to handle unsettled situations. The drills and teaching in this DVD give your team an edge by being prepared for any scramble situation. Give your team its best chance to win by developing a winning Scramble Defense.

Introduction by Bill Harkins,
Florida State University Head Lacrosse Coach,
German National Team Assistant Coach

Coaches Kaley and Harkins collaborate to bring you this outstanding DVD on Pressure Zone Defense. Coach Kaley shares his philosophy behind his successful pressure zone defense. Overall, this philosophy is based on three elements: offense, defense and riding. All three are geared to force the opposition to make specific preparation for Kaley-coached teams. Pressure and cutting off passing lanes are the keys to this aggressive approach. Through a marker board presentation and on-field demonstrations, Kaley highlights three pressure spots: two top, two side, and crease behind. He stresses the value of practicing 6 vs. 5, leading up to implementing the team zone attack. Adjustments have been a big part of Kaley's philosophy and winning program. He shares his most powerful adjustments as he describes the Black call, Fire call, and the 500's. An all out application of pressure is the result of the "Red" call. An experienced strategist, Kaley feels that his adjustments make opponents adjust to him. The Pressure Zone Defense is one of the major aspects of his incredible success in collegiate lacrosse! Developed by combining pressure to his winning "man down" scheme, this defense will provide an edge to the coaches who adopt it.

Coach Bill Tierney has led Princeton to six NCAA men's lacrosse championship titles in his 16 years as head coach. Now he shares his insights to adjusting your defense to an ever-changing offense. After winning a national title, Princeton went on to lead the nation in scoring defense, scoring margin, and winning percentage in 2002. Coach Tierney explains how to create dozens of different defenses by choosing any one of the five outer-circle theories, combining it with any inner-circle plan of action and adjusting individual responsibilities. He gives an extensive marker board presentation with pressure-filled defensive schemes designed to confuse opposing offenses. The advantages of Tierney's system is it takes away the center of the field, does not allow for easy shots, and focuses on containment of the ball and the offensive players. All of these concepts, and the drills used to teach them, combine to develop a strong, cohesive team defense at any level.
