TRANSFORM INTO THE DEFENSIVE POWERHOUSE YOUR TEAM CAN COUNT ON.

"MASTER THE ART OF DOMINANT TACKLES"

Iron up sports have been teaching tackling for over 10 years in the youth space and worked with over 10 thousand youth athletes. We have come up with a system on how to develop confident tacklers to tackle any runner, any size and any attacking shape to make the right tackle at the right time.

YOU ARE WRECKING YOUR CHANCES OF MAKING THE STARTING TEAM IF YOU CANT DO THIS.....

When it comes to playing rugby league you want to win the tackle on defence and the way to win it is through dominant tackles. Tackling the opposition and putting them on their back to allow for a 'slow play the ball'. If you can not tackle, you're a liability to the team and chances of making representative teams is very unlikely.

Here are the common errors you see with athletes missing tackles:

1. Eyes closed and looking away from target area.

2. Reaching with arms to make tackles and not using the shoulders.

3. Feet placement - Not close and feet pointing away from the ball runner.

4. Weak arms - Having no control of the opposition when tackling or using only one arm in the tackle.

5. Putting their head in the wrong place, causing a head knock.

6. Effort areas on defense is lacking. Eg. To slow to set up, no forward pressure, no inside pressure etc.

7. Not slowing the play the ball down. Ruck speed is too quick.

We make sure we correct the little details that have a massive impact on making better tacklers.

WHAT THE WORKSHOP COVERS

HEREʻS WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING

THE GAME PLAN

The game plan is to work on:

1. Individual tackles focusing on the 4 levels for tackling. Know every little detail on pre-tackle, contact and finisher.

2. Details such as where your feet are, your head, your arms and cues to react to for better decisions on making the right tackle.

3. Learning how to tackle in groups to be effective and keeping our team mates safe whilst winning the tackle.

The above details will be heavily focused on in Tackle Domination on the mats.

On the field:

We still go over the individual tackles and group tackles to prime them up for defensive systems. The field is heavily emphasised on how to defend the ruck, marker defence, edge defence, try line defence, redzone defence and how to communicate to make sure we defend well as a team.

We have worked with over 10,000 athletes and know how to communicate and break the tackle down, so athletes can digest the information we coach. The tackle is broken down into 3 components:

1. Pre-tackle - What you do before the contact. Line speed, footwork and agility.

2. Contact - How to make contact using the shoulders, arms, legs etc

3. The finisher - How to finish off the opposition in an ideal fashion which helps the team win the contest.

The athlete will leave the workshop having learnt so much about tackling and have fixed up their tackle technique to get recognised by friends, family, coaches and scouts.
