Martin's Rugby Coaching Forum

Hi Martin,

The u- 20 team I coach have many players who are very poor in the 1 on 1 front on tackle. If I were to revisit the basics and progress to a good level during the course of 8 weeks. What would be the bet way to do this? Would you have any good drills and tips I could use for the next 2 month to improve their technique?

Hello BB,

Tackle is the most difficult technique to train, it is made up out of 10 individual, sequencial different steps. The first four are even before the first contact!

You will have to assess the individual tackles to address the problem.

You can have a look at my site or go directly to the ACC sport smart website.
