Tackle, release, roll away
How it works
- Tackler kneels, ball carrier kneels side-on with the ball.
- Tackler wraps, rolls the carrier to the ground, then lets go straight away and rolls away from the ball.
- The tackler gets up on the far side. The carrier places the ball back long. Swap after 3 goes.
Coaching points
- Tackle, let go, roll away, get up. Say it out loud.
- Never lie on the ball.
- Get up on your side of the ball, not on top of it.
Ready for the next level when: Every tackler releases and rolls away without being told, 5 times out of 5.
