This is a tackling progression video made by the Cavalier Senior Football Team. The teaching is done in a stepped process and can be conducted with or without pads and helmets. The design is to get players exaggerating the movements so they become habit and muscle memory. We use these and other technique drills every day in practice throughout the year. Teaching tackling is like learning to drive a car, you don't begin by going 75 on the highway. Good coaching will limit the contact and never go to full take down. Concentrate on the basics and then add to it as they begin to develop sound fundamental. Focus on getting low, keeping the head up and driving through. If you can get that, then 75% of the battle is won. These drills were developed using information from other programs including Viatar Football and USA Football along with what we have seen working in practice.
