Anyone else having recent problems with receiving their videos on time? Been very prompt up until the last 2 months.

I contacted Bill a few weeks ago wondering why it had been two weeks without receiving anything. What I found out was that Bill, Brett and Kyle are sometimes working clinics for a week or two weeks at a time and are not able to get stuff out until they return. With all the new videos they have added recently, I can live with it -- these guys are the best teachers of football out there.

it is standard for packages to take some time during the summer. bill works clinics every week for h.s.,college and pros. it is just how it has been since I have been a member. I always loadup during the fall cause that really seems to be the best time for bill.
bill has a video guy who makes copies of his lectures and that guy works almost just for bill with the number of taps bill has in his library.

Nice -- Tons of new stuff! When did vol 11 come out!? I let my subscription lapse a couple of months back because I wasn't too happy with the long awaited vol 10. Looks like I'll be re-uping soon.

If yall get those 3 new Pat Ruel videos from Vol. 11 give me a PM and I will send you my list. I love listening to him. One of my favorite line coaches.
Anybody ever find out if the Joe Bugel videos were the same as the Gilman dinner one?

Football Coaches Professional Growth Association.. It's a tape trading service that Bill Williams and his son's run.. Basically you pay them an annual fee and then you get access to their entire video library.. You send them a list and they send you tapes- you copy them and send them back and they keep on working their way down your list of videos that you want.. Their library is quite extensive as well as the inclusion of their own coaching videos- which are some of the best clinic videos you'll ever see..

LOL, I love his clinics and the tapes are great but any tape with Bill in it lasts twice as long as it needs to as he has a habit of losing focus and taking his instruction in a wide variety of directions on a wide variety of subjects not all related to what he's presenting.

Isn't there some issues with copyright violations here? |

All of the videos are created and owned by FCPGA. You then pay them for a subscription to borrow and copy them -- no copyright issues. Football Coaches Professional Growth Association..

Gotcha...I thought that they were basically sending out commercially-produced videos by Coaches Choice or Championship Products. Here's a thought...what would stop someone who had an extensive football video collection from creating a "library" in which people paid a fee to "borrow" titles? The "library" would make it clear that the videos are only to be viewed but not to be copied and then returned when the borrower was finished (but obviously there wouldn't be any way to prevent copying from happening). |

They're in a rough chronological order with vol 11 being the latest. ajreaper is absolutely right - Bill's clinics are very long, but with that you get incredible detail. Especially his in-service, week long clinics for the hs, college and pros coaches. Also, it does get somewhat costly. In addition to the annual subscrpition fee of $189, you'll pay $9 plus shipping(about $7 for me) every time you return/order 2 tapes. We typically returned/ordered 2 tapes twice a month. |
