Tackling Technique

Written by Bradley Davidson

Here's a re-cap of the tackling technique we have been working on.

THE KEY FACTORS IN THE TACKLE

  1. Sight target
  2. Move forward into the tackle
  3. Move slightly inside the ball-carrier (inside shoulder)
  4. Face up!
  5. Keep feet alive and position lead foot close to ball-carrier
  6. Drive with the legs to make firm contact with the shoulder and with the head to the side
  7. Punch arms forward and wrap around the ball-carrier
  8. Continue power drive through to complete the tackle
  9. Regain feet and recover ball.
