Description

Set Up

4 players - 2 players in Tackle Suits one ball carrier - one support player - one ball


Ball carrier attacks suited player and takes leg tackle - 2nd suited player quickly moves in to compete for ball - support player clears.

Coaching Points

Encourage full tackle with use of strong arms and a quick movement from 2nd suited player to compete for ball – 2nd suited player should adopt a low strong position over ball with weight on feet – encourage maximum knee bend to secure lowest best body position – clear out player should adopt low body angle on approach, hence knees bent, shuffle footwork, eyes on target, head up – target lower sternum of suited player – big impact and drive player up and off the ball with strong leg drive with short steps.
