This book is the Youth Version, and it is meant to be a guide to the 34 SWARM system we use. However, I think it will be something all defensive systems can use, as it will break down how to organize a system and practice. I am hopeful that this provides some new knowledge, or even just reminds you of some tips and tricks to improve as a defensive coach.

Defensive football is becoming more and more difficult to teach as the rules seem slanted to the other side of the ball, and often the culture of a program must be solid for the best athletes to want to play on the defensive side of the ball. I hope to give you some help in the X’s and O’s and in the organizational side, but don’t forget the number one goal of every defensive coordinator should be getting the players to SWARM to the ball and play hard. Try not to over complicate the defense and focus on getting great effort.

The book covers:
Organization of the defense
Personnel Choices
Alignment
Coverages
Drills
Blitz Rules
Practice Schedules
And more...
