Doing tonight!!!! All great stuff. We’re focusing on tackle and ruck defense. using this and other material and sincerely grateful for all the content.
The fascination with the rugby league style tackle is losing to many metres to the opposition. This tackle drill enforces why we tackle the way we do
Great drills and thinking outside the box.
The players enjoyed doing the primers. They appreciated knowing the purpose and specifics of technique in doing the primers. A fun component also made it enjoyable. Ka pai.
