Almost too much. That first reaction was while trying to scan through the entire 7+ hrs in one session. Impossible. This video set is best used as an idea/activity generator throughout your season. Anytime something isn;t working right, or you need to get a new drill idea, or just something to break up the practice routine, you can pop in one of the 3 DVDs, pick a menu topic and skip through until something catches your eye. And try it. We especially like some of the crazier game ideas like "green monster" (shown with the line of screens) and some of the relay race ideas. - WebBall
