JB Clarke does an excellent job of identifying the potential of implementing a fast paced, transition oriented lacrosse strategy. In this DVD he lays out the optimal way to teach this type of game through a combination of discussion, illustrations and live action practice footage.

Coach Clarke breaks his presentation down into two parts:

Part I: Coaching Your Team to Take Advantage of Unsettled Situations
In part I, Coach Clarke discusses his experiences as a college lacrosse coach and how the importance of the unsettled game became apparent to him. Clarke shares his coaching philosophy, which is the foundation of teaching a team to take advantage of unsettled situations in a lacrosse game. He shows how to "attack the pressure" through different strategies and move from ground ball to goal. Concepts such as Ground-Ball-to-Goal, C.H.A.O.S. (Constantly Harass and Create Opportunities to Score), and Attack the Pressure are explained and then demonstrated in live action drills.

Part II: Practice Structure and Drills for Mastering Unsettled Lacrosse
In Part II Coach Clarke introduces his eight favorite drills:

• Flying Rats - A fast paced 3v2 drill with a goalie that forces uneven number situations and turns them into scoring opportunities.
• Toomey - A great drill where defensemen play offense, play defense and are forced to clear and ride. It emphasizes that defensemen and goalies are the key to an upbeat, fast paced offense.
• 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 Lines - Arguably the best drill for teaching the unsettled game. This drill has endless configurations and can be setup to stress every facet of an unsettled offense and defense. Coach Clarke introduces some of his favorite variations and offers valuable coaching tips on how to get the most out of your team.
• The Cornell Drill - A half field scrimmage drill that is designed to keep both the offense and defense off kilter. This drill takes the basic 4v4 drill and expands it by introducing concepts that force players to adapt to constantly changing game situations.
• Broken - A dynamic 6v5 drill where the ball is introduced from a variety of locations. The offense is forced to constantly adapt to a changing offensive flow, while the defense learns the importance of playing from the hole, out.
• NAZ - A full field drill that combines a fast paced transitional offense, with uneven man, or fast break situations. This allows you the ability to teach the game while conditioning your athletes.
• 2v1 Dynamic Ground Balls - This drill was designed to emphasize the Ground-Ball-to-Goal concept. Coach Clark has transformed the traditional man-ball drill into a fast break offense drill where middies learn the importance of immediately attacking the goal from a ground ball situation.

This is an excellent video for coaches who are looking to teach a high speed, dynamic lacrosse style.

From individual skills to offensive sets, this DVD provides a complete package of training to improve your offensive attack.

Stickwork & Footwork Drills
Get stickwork and footwork drills that Timchal has used to create championship teams throughout her illustrious career. A few examples of these drills include:

• Hard Passing Drill - Works on passing, catching and getting into triple threat position. Variations train for weakside catches and backing out of pressure.
• Big Box Shuffle Passing Drill - This challenging drill uses quick stick passing and shuffling to prepare players to pass and receive in situations they will see in games.
• Pressure Stickwork Drill - Prepares attackers for high pressure defense and double teams.
Offensive Build Up Drills
See the drills Timchal uses to build up to her offensive sets. 2-on-2 pick on the ball, 2-on-2 pick and roll, and the 3-on-3 with a feeder. These build-up drills train your attackers how to handle game situations, to produce hard cuts that are difficult to defend, and to finish their attacks. These drills serve a dual purpose, as they are effective in training your individual defense as well.

Offensive Sets
Learn the basic movements of three popular offenses: Motion Offense, Triangle Offense and the Crisscross Offense. Timchal shares her philosophy on when to use each offense based on what the defense is running.

Timchal's Motion Offense features features the crease dodger, back door cuts, isolations, drawing doubles, inside feeds and shots. She utilizes this offense against tight shell defenses.

The Triangle Offense gives you good balance. It places players behind the goal, post, and along the perimeter on both sides of the cage, allowing you to attack from the left, right and behind the net. Timchal explains why it's effective against intense pressure.

When an opponent is using a combination of the shell and power defenses (Blue Bird Defense), Timchal uses the Crisscross Offense. This offense can be used against all three types of defenses as it incorporates a double pick on the ball and a single pick on the ball.

Timchal also reveals her "Special" set to get the ball to her best player when she is being face-guarded by defense.

This DVD provides compelling insight into the drills and sets used by the all-time winningest coach in Division I Lacrosse history.

Brady Drill is another transition drill 5-on-4 where the players are fine-tuning their decision making on the attack as well as working communicating skills. Mini Game Series is a 4-on-4 mini game. The emphasis is on tempo, the defense handling the ball in game situations and playing offense in game situations.Bez Drill is a great competitive drill and emphasizes the philosophy of how he wants his team to play. It is a constant 3-on-2 break drill that gives the players many fundamental and stick handling opportunities.

In all of the drills, Daly talks you through the action and his team's philosophy. He finishes by taking you through game footage showing the up-tempo, attacking style of transition game.

The attacking transition game is a fun style of play for your players and can help you defeat teams that are more athletic and talented.
