1. Without ball, attacker jogs down the field changing direction (start slow) The defending player shadows their movements all the way down the field. They switch roles when they reach the end line.
2. The attacker now has a ball, the defender makes 3-4 good tackles as they go down the field.
3. The attacker now has a ball, and gets passed the attacker. The defender catches up and makes a tackle from the side.
1. Emphasize staying in front of the attacker, good defensive positon, never square to the player aways pick a side.
2. Don't spread feet too far apart, arms length away(have them reach out and touch the attackers shoulder to get the distance right)
3. Don't Dive In! Wait for a mistake to win the ball.
4. Never tackle from behind! Get parallel/in front of attacker before winning the ball.
