A session to get your players back up to speed with contact. Great for developing confidence and encouraging your players to tackle low.
This session plan includes a quick warm up and goes straight into tackling basics. Ease your players into it by starting with some tackling on the knees to build up confidence and get a proper feel for the technique required.
