Tackle bag take-downs
How it works
- Stand a tackle bag upright. If it needs steadying, a player does it from behind.
- Players step in side-on, wrap the bag low, drive and take it to the ground.
- Land on top, roll, get straight back up. Progress from a walk to a jog.
Coaching points
- Wrap below where a real player's waist would be.
- Head to the side of the bag, never in front.
- No adults holding bags or shields for players.
Ready for the next level when: Go back to the drill ladder on “scared of contact” to move on to player-vs-player tackles.
