A lot of interest in the post below. I know I come off as critical at times, but based on DM's a lot of people want to hear what I actually think about tackling. I get a kick out of being called a meathead, having my knowledge of the game questioned. The idea being you have to smack helmets and go live every day to teach tackling couldn't be further from the truth. This is a great example of how you can teach it and still get the right feeling. Shin angle, body angle, learning what it feels like to generate real force and drive through somebody, create a penetrating blow. Great way to work a cut tackle or chop tackle. Huge difference between this and running full speed at a stationary bag or tackle wheel and launching at it. Here, you have to create force to move it. You can't just launch. The resistance exposes technique. Do it wrong and it doesn't work. Safe and effective at any age, any level. I look at this and I can feel how it would make me a better tackler. I don't get that feeling launching at pads and tackling wheels. Just one idea. Think outside the box. Plenty of different, creative ways to do this, and some good drills out there. Keep an open mind.
