Fundamentals of a Safe Tackle - Y with The Rugby Site

We look at the tackle fundamentals this time with experienced age grade coach Peter Koen at Easts, in Brisbane, Australia.

This session is ideal for a group of boys and/or girls learning the fundamentals of Safe Tackling and/or preseason training.

Note the focus of the low tackle height - and tackle bags are optional. It is about technique not intensity.
