NEVER Allow Your Opponent's to Return Punts with This Scheme! - John Lilly

One way to win the special teams battle is to not allow your opponent to return a punt.  In this video, John Lilly (Head Coach at Independence High School in West Virginia) details his Bench Punt system and rules.

Their goal for the kicking game is to not allow a punt return and allow ZERO return yards (kickoff and punt) for the game.

You can see his entire presentation entitled: Never Allow Your Opponent's to Return Punts with a Boundary Return Package only on Glazier Drive.
