We look at the tackle fundamentals this time with experienced age grade coach Peter Koen at Easts, in Brisbane, Australia.
This session is ideal for a group of boys and/or girls learning the fundamentals of Safe Tackling and/or preseason training.
Note the focus of the low tackle height - and tackle bags are optional. It is about technique not intensity.

are just some of the key messages from Peter Koen to his East Tigers (Brisbane, Australia) girls.
Note how the structure of the drill enables Peter to easily view how all the players are progressing.
Tackle bags are optional as the emphasis is on the technique not the power.

From the community
Amazing coaching, really great for beginners. Love the passion of this gentleman. Well done.
As usual a great video full of lots of little tips to add to my knowledge, helping me help my players.
I like it for the Beginners
Basic but effective , alot of players at underage these days hit , wrap but soak / slip off the tackle instead of driving through
