Looking forward to our first contact practice

Finally, our first contact day is fast approaching. We know that many of the players have been looking forward to this day since our first practice. It is very important that we teach the players the proper tackling techniques to keep them as safe as possible. We will emphasize the "4 ups" of tackling, which are the "eyes", "head", "chest" and "arms". Monday, we are going to conduct a 4 phase tackling drill, which emphasizes the "4 ups", then proceed into tackling stations as a team. See you on Monday!
