The better your side are at tackling not only will they create more opportunities for themselves to win the ball through pressure and turnovers but they'll also make it incredibly difficult for the other team to score!<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For 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!<\/p>\r\n\r\n

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.<\/p>","madeDate":"11/08/2011","modified":false,"movieScale":70,"newsletter":null,"openToPublic":true,"ownerId":10573816,"pdfUrl":"/upload/sessions/afc8/1781/8909849/Contact-Skills-in-the-Tackle.pdf","pricingTier":2,"publicTitle":"Contact Skills in the Tackle","publishId":"535463168_-1741692672","publishedDate":"04/10/2013 17:40:34.354","publishedSessionUrl":"/drills/Rugby/sessionPlans/Contact-Skills-in-the-Tackle-8909849.jsp","purpose":" To improve tackling technique and instill confidence in your players.<\/p>","rating":3.47058823529412,"ratingCount":17,"ratings":[{"commentText":"All of the session used it with s1s2's.","comments":[{"comment":"All of the session used it with s1s2's.","commentDate":"11/09/2012 10:59:50.566","commentDateShort":"11/09/2012 10:59","commentId":14975,"creatorId":2745476,"deletorDate":"","deletorId":0,"flaggedAdvertisement":"","flaggedAdvertisementShort":"","flaggedInappropriate":"","flaggedInappropriateShort":"","rootCommentId":14975,"user":{"countryName":"Scotland","email":"grant.spence@fsmail.net","firstName":"grant","fullName":"grant spence","hasProfileImage":true,"involvementType":"involvementType1","lastName":"spence","organisation":"Grangemouth RFC","userAccountId":9102766,"userName":"grant.spence@fsmail.net","usersDirectory":"/upload/users/7530/1820/9102766"}}],"deleted":"","flaggedAdvertisement":"","flaggedInappropriate":"","rating":4,"ratingDate":"11/09/2012 10:59:19.507","rootCommentId":14975,"sessionEntityId":8909849,"sessionRatingId":12489,"userAccount":{"countryName":"Scotland","email":"grant.spence@fsmail.net","firstName":"grant","fullName":"grant spence","hasProfileImage":true,"involvementType":"involvementType1","lastName":"spence","organisation":"Grangemouth RFC","userAccountId":9102766,"userName":"grant.spence@fsmail.net","usersDirectory":"/upload/users/7530/1820/9102766"},"userAccountId":9102766}],"regenerateImages":true,"sections":[{"deleted":false,"modified":false,"orderIndex":0,"practices":[{"columns":[{"deleted":false,"heading":"","modified":false,"notes":[{"deleted":false,"heading":"","modified":false,"notes":" On the coach's call each group sets off through the cones, with one ball per group to passed throughout the warm up.<\/p> For their first few sets players should be jogging with heel flicks.
