SOS pressure "D" can disrupt the most potent offenses with techniques and tactics that dictate the flow of the game. These defensive tactics set the tempo by striking first rather than reacting to an opponent's game plan. Defensive Guru, Bob Kloppenburg, shares the basics of pressure "D" at its devastating best!
The SOS Pressure Defensive system is based on the concept of total disruption. Total disruption is achieved by having the defense initiate the action and attacking the offense, forcing the offensive players to react and move away from their normal offensive actions. To be successful all individual players must be well schooled in the SOS defensive fundamentals.
