This course gives coaches a complete blueprint for protecting the football and creating takeaways that change games. Coach Larry Hill and the Smithson Valley staff share their proven approach to developing team-wide goals centered on turnover margin, explosive plays, and special teams performance.
Through detailed demonstrations, you’ll learn practical ball security drills—such as the square drill, stumble drill, gauntlet, and move-the-pile—using innovative tools like the “high and tight” football. On the defensive side, the staff introduces a structured turnover circuit, including scoop-and-score techniques, sideline save drills, strip sacks, pin-pull and pull-punch methods, and takeaway circuits that players can master year-round.
With a focus on meaningful reps, expert coaching consistency, and drills that translate directly to Friday nights, this course equips you with the strategies to build disciplined, fundamentally sound teams that win the turnover margin and maximize their chances of victory.
