I'm having the same issues,and have been trying,but the only thing I can think of is that it hurts ,so I think first thing is to make sure they have some protection ,shoulder pads I think are a big part to save them from hurting their shoulders and head gear .have them train using them .show them that they can takle down low without hurting them selves.and by the way my team is under mines ,.

Cheers coach Pete.

Hi Nige,

Following on from Pete I think it's important to address this with your referee before the game. This just keep this issue fresh in their minds and allows you to clear things up prior to kick off and keep the game safe for everyone.

Cheers,

Archie
