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.
Straight spine, foot in close, stay aligned and generate energy through the tackle.
are just some of the key messages from Peter Koen to his East Tigers (Brisbane, Australia) girls.
Note how the structure of the drill enables Peter to easily view how all the players are progressing.
Tackle bags are optional as the emphasis is on the technique not the power.
