By effectively applying pressure by riding your opponent, you will create turnovers and transition opportunities. Throughout his coaching career, Jack Kaley's teams have been the best at forcing turnovers and creating extra possessions. Coach Kaley's teams have won four national titles and appeared in the in DII Final Four eight times. In this detailed instructional lacrosse video, Kaley demonstrates a 10-Man Zone Series and a Six-Man Zone series. Using a marker board, Kaley illustrates how to apply pressure for the entire game by perfecting six different rides. These rides effectively take away the most common positions offenses try to attack. Over the last two years (2007-08) NYIT has averaged 10 extra possessions a game due to these rides. Apply constant pressure to your opponents and force more turnovers this season.

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.
