  1. The mental game is the most important part but I Ike this drill. I do believe though that there is one benefit to live tackling and that is learning how to get hit. It’s NOT the same as delivering a hit. MMA fighters will tell you all day that your body to learn how to deal blows and submission attempts not just hit and submit someone.

  2. That’s not a proper tackle, because properly tackling involves driving with your shoulder and feet. This video is just them diving with there arms out on a pad.

  3. I coached an 8th grade youth football team in Chula Vista CA back in the Fall of 1998 (CV Aztecs) and finished 14-0. This included pre-season (1-0), regular season (9-0), playoffs, championship game and bowl game (4-0).

    Yes, we did have good players that went on to be not only starters at the High Schools they attended, but were the “star” players of their respective teams. Most of these kids had been playing together since mighty-mites (7-8 years old) which gave us a huge advantage, not to mention, the wonderful support we had from the parents and our AYF organization.

    Having said that, I TRULY believe the main reason we finished undefeated that year was because as soon as warm-up exercises were completed, we worked on blocking & tackling, (everyone, including QBs). The drills we did were NEVER live tackling. We did “Form” blocking and tackling drills. Not one player ever got hurt. As soon as that was done, we broke up into individual groups, then team and at the end we practiced a different special team.
    I learned this practice agenda from an excellent HS coach who had coached at the NFL & College level and because of a serious illness had returned to coach at the HS level were he passed away after a few years of coaching.

    Too many inexperienced youth coaches want to get right into running plays, which many have more plays than NFL teams do. Another key in youth football (offensively speaking), is to have 4-8 plays that you practice over and over and over until they run them “to perfection.” In youth football, that’s all you need. A Belly, a Dive, a Trap, a Sweep, and a Down play. Throw in a couple of passes and that’s all you need. If your team runs those “to perfection,” then you can add some trick plays, a reverse and a couple more pass plays (screens etc).
    Remember, KEY #1 … work on FORM blocking and tackling EVERYDAY … 15 minutes every day, that’s all you need. Prior to our Championship game, we worked on that, every practice, all week.
    By the way, that season, we played against Reggie Bush (twice), once in the regular season and once in the playoffs. The kid was a beast!! If I was his coach, I would have given him the ball on every play …. I’m so glad they did not. Great memories!!

  4. first of all ya might want to get your kids out of pajamas on the field Clown ass coaches!! YouTube Coaches are cringe lol your team sucks or you play 15 year olds in a 12-13 league.
