📦 What's Inside?

Inside "Tackling 101 For Youth Football," you'll learn how to introduce the fundamentals of tackling to your kids the RIGHT way..

All in a safe, risk free environment that allows them to learn the proper techniques without fear of getting hurt!

A Simple A-B-C progression That ANY Coach Can Plug Into -- FAST!

You'll begin with basic form tackling drills... then progress to learning about pursuit angles and tackling in space. Finally, we'll add in blockers to simulate a game situation and train your defenders to read keys and react to plays.

Many of the drills are designed to run at half speed with no pads. While others can be easily modified for light or full contact when your players are ready.

Here's just a LITTLE of what you'll discover...

An easy 5-step method (endorsed by USA Football) that shows your players EXACTLY how to execute a fundamentally sound tackle... without risk of getting hurt

How to help your players eliminate their fear of contact with a simple 2-step drill progression

How to teach the basics of the head-on tackle, angle tackle. open field tackle and sideline tackle. Get simple, step by step instructions you can take right to the field... starting at your very next practice!

How to train your players to win the collision by finishing THROUGH contact with a rising blow. Master this one technique and your defense will be unstoppable!

A "club, wrap and grab cloth" method that helps tacklers haul the ball carrier down without giving up any yardage (works great for smaller players too!)

The "Inline Tackling" drill that teaches your kids to face up, cut off penetration, and stop the ball carrier COLD in his tracks. (this is one of my favorite goal line drills for all defensive positions!)

How to recruit the knees, ankles and waist into the tackling motion, so you can explode into the ball carrier with maximum force and power

The best drill for developing the proper "inside out" pursuit angle

How to tackle in space like a pro -- discover a nifty "Open Field Cutback" drill that dramatically improves your defender's footwork and anticipation skills. Say goodbye to those costly missed tackles!

A fun "Swing Tackle" drill that teaches your defenders to force the ball carrier to commit, then cut him off and finish with a fundamentally sound tackle

A key read drill that helps your linebackers, corners, and safeties analyze the movement of the offensive line, sniff out plays, and get a jump on the ball-carrier with lightning quick reflexes!

A fun "4 Point Explosion Drill" that trains your players to engage the TRUE source of power in the tackling motion (HINT: it's not the legs, chest, shoulders or arms)

And a lot more!

My little New Braunfels Junior Ravens had an undefeated season with 6 shutouts and only 3 touchdowns scored on them the entire season. We used quite a few of the drills and such from your books this year and it really paid off. Thanks!

As a first time youth head football coach, I was looking for a system that would help me run drills and set up practice. Your practice plans have helped me immensely. Now there is a good tempo to practice with new drills, and the kids love it!

Using the practice plans, we won the WLJFL Championship this year! We got more work done in less time, which gave us more time to run plays. Thanks Coach Steve for getting all the coaches together in this form.

It was a huge help because it gave me tons of new drills to run throughout the year that I was not previously aware of. The program gave me drill options that I can use now when my boys are young and drills I can implement as they get older. Our record was 6-0-2 for the regular season.
