Contact Skills in the Tackle

This Sportplan Session is a 3D contact and Tackling session - getting your players to make tackles from all sides: Front, Side and Back!

The better your side are at tackling not only will they create more opportunities for themselves to win the ball in turn overs and through errors made by the opposition due your team's pressure but they'll also make it incredibly difficult for the other team to score!

With inexperienced players tackling can be quite a daunting part of the game, particularly when tackling from behind with the prospect of getting a face full of studs! No matter what age your players though there's never any harm in recapping tackle technique and that's precisely what this session aims to do - instilling tackle toughness and confidence back into your players!

Starting out with a thoroughly physical warm up to get the blood pumping we then start focussing on correct tackle technique, starting with a walking drill for the younger players, and then progressing into pairs tackle drill. Players take it in turn to be to tackler and the tacklee. As they move into each new zone on the pitch they must perform a different tackle, starting with the side tackle, driving into the front tackle and then pouncing skilfully into the challenging back tackle.
