as a 6th grader and a pretty hard hitter (in football) i dont agree with this but maybe it’s just my personal preference because i like football :/ i do agree these kids look 6-7 and should not be trucking/ driving the ballcarrier to the ground at this age
Well coming from a tackle players it doesn’t hurt unless they huge or run through you, and at this younger age they mostly the same size and can tackle but can’t bury someone
The kids are on point, feel like some of them drills the distance could have been tightened up. No need to have the kids hitting each other at such a distance, they have to make it to Highschool!
So let's set aside the fact that drills like this provide little benefit but have a high risk of injury. And that it's clear there's been very poor instruction on the elements of tackling prior to this. Day one of pads, slamming into each other full speed is beyond idiotic and something very few professional coaches at any level do. I guess some people just have a fetish for seeing kids pummel each other. But how about this - could someone explain to me the reason for lining up the kids within about 2 yards (or less) along the sides? What is the benefit of that? It's just asking for those players to get rolled into and injured.
So what is the difference between tackling in this drill and tackling in an actual game? How are they gonna learn how to tackle in a game if they don’t practice it in a drill?
@Oblivion You would be guessing wrong. I played through high school - not that playing HS football really means much of anything in terms of knowing how to teach the game. There are a ton of things that have changed about how the game is taught, so a "super star" player from years ago has no advantage in coaching over someone who didn't play but has put the work in to learn (including certification such as USA Football). I coached youth for years, currently coach HS and have been to a number of coaching clinics. No pro team does a drill like this on day 1 in pads. No major college program does. I'm sure there are HS programs that do but they are fewer & fewer every year. Also, I'll ask again - what is the reason for lining up players so close to the collisions? Blocking dummies could be used for the boundary and not risk players getting kicked or worse. It's just asking for a hyperextended knee as action flows into them.
@@johnblaesel5493 Funny you should say that. How often does a one-on-one tackle happen in a game where both players are running directly at each other with no room to move more than a step in either direction? Rarely. In real football games, tacklers are almost always coming off a block, not running full speed at the ball carrier. Ball carriers almost always have room to move to use space to their advantage, to attempt to make the tackler miss or at least, to minimize contact so they can gain extra yardage.
@@stephensnyder7482 So you would have the same drill only having each line of kids about 20 yards across from each other instead of 2 which would give the ball carrier a chance to maneuver by the tackler?
@@johnblaesel5493 You asked about game situations, I told you this drill is a poor example of game situations. The only time in games where it's 100% straight ahead without much possibility of lateral movement would be a goal line situation. And then - tacklers are coming off blocks & there's no big run up, it's short distance. Tracking drills & pursuit/angle drills to get players to be able to tackle in space are great. There's no reason to go full contact to the ground on them when you can drill them in high volume playing to wrap/fit without injury risk. There is zero reason to have a line of players form a boundary period.
@@coltonlusk2572 there have been hits that you would felt you would have been hit by a pillow I'm not kidding that for the teams I've played but your teams could be different
I’m sorry but this is poor coaching these kids should be hitting the dummies and learning how to wrap up and not tuck their heads. Now is the age to to teach them good technique instead of saying ooooh and good hit smdh
@@joelostion9581 yeah I only played middle school, highschool, college and coached my oldest son and currently coaching my youngest son on his 8th season......haven't seen that many drills in that time I guess 😶
This is why they say tackle football should be delayed during the early years. This many heads hits has a catastrophic impact on brain development. But hey, they’ll all be pros right? Who needs that!?
Some of the worst coaching and technique I have ever seen. Just about all of these kids are dropping their heads and launching. No break down and no wrapping up....just literally colliding into the opponent. All fun and games til someone gets hurt.
All due respect coach for you time and effort. FYI this type drill was banned by Pop Warner for 2013 rule book. The New Rules Are as Follows: No full speed head-on blocking or tackling drills in which the players line up more than 3 yards apart are permitted. (Having two linemen in stances immediately across the line of scrimmage from each other and having full-speed drills where the players approach each other at an angle, but not straight ahead in to each other are both permitted.) You can still run this drill but you have to make some adjustments. Make the chute wider and place a blocking dummy at the tackler end in the center and position your "tackler" facing it. Now move the runner up to less than 3 yards from the dummy and on the edge of the chute. Send the runner down the side of the chute and instruct them to not lower their head. The tackler should shuffle at an angle to the runner and make a near shoulder tackle with their near ear against the near hip. They should never put their head across the runners body. Work right should tackles and then flip the runner to the other side of the chute and work left shoulder tackles. Left shoulder tackles are not natural to righties so you have to work on it. Then set runners on both sides of the chute and send one or the other so the tackler has to make a good decision about left or right shoulder tackle. I hope this helps, good luck and God bless.
@Robbie Wells In college, head up tackle drills are wrap up at 50-75% thud tempo with proper technique. These kids don’t even have good technique yet, it’s awful technique. Open field dude wears a harness and runs with a donut looking thing to tackle. Moral of the story, you’re not going 100% with your own guys. It’s fucking stupid.
Dude what?!?!? This is awful hahaha these kids are gonna get hurt. I haven’t run a tackling drill in 5 years bc I play oline but my coach will stop o-team sessions if someone did this shit to reem the scout kid or the rb.
They probably are aware of their size and don't wanna hurt the little ones, the little kids are the ones that are like "In small but mighty" and try their hardest.
The very first kids that went a grown up says good job as the kid lays on the ground holding his head because he took a direct helmet to helmet hit…terrible coaching
The day of truth always. Back in the day, 1970's they used to call separating the men from the boys. As that is not politically correct this days we can call it separating the participants from those that matter.
What is the point to most of those drills and where is the teaching of proper tackle Techniques teach them right . All it takes is one kid to have a bad injury and you will be in court and if you didn't teach it right you will lose
Meh football coach said to keep our head up while tackling because we need to see what we are hitting and because it can cause serious injuries if we do put our head down
Anyone in this comment section can you tell me if pop Warner hurts? I’m a basketball player and don’t wan’t to injure my body too much plus i don’t plan on pursuing football
The drill is good. There is nothing arguing with this. If you practice half as mass C and then another team practices how they play , who you think has the advantage ?
Get out of here with that soft BS. Woman's volleyball and soccer has more concussions than football. Guess what the #1 reason for kids going to the ER is? Playgrounds. People like you won't be happy until all kids are wrapped in bubble wrap.
They are not coaches. Where is the lead up drills that teach tackling form? Heads are down in a lot of the tackle attempts.
Boys need this. 1💯🦾

Terrible
Terrible drill for teaching contact and tackling.
Awful coaching.about 90% of the kids tackling in this video were lowering their heads....SMFDH
Facts bro the coaches are garbage!
Exactly terrible coaching! Heads up football is what we must practice. That’s the type of shit that sends kids off in a stretcher
All they care about is
if the hit was loud
Coaches do suck
So true my Friend Dad Has A dent In his head still from doing that fucking shit
They need to Ban this drill its for adults own entertainment.
As Warren Sapp said, if you’re under 14 years old there’s no need for this type of contact.
So true. Love football but my kid won’t play tackle till 13

Worst drill in football for injuries especially head injuries.
Not if they tackle correctly with their shoulder. In fact that’s the whole point of the drill. Learning the correct way to tackle.

Too many kids have their head down.

FIRST THAT NOT HOW YOU TACKEL
those kids on the side should be farther away, someones gonna get hurt, use something else as the sidelines
The kids on the side are your concern, not the kids lowering their heads? No wonder so many kids get hurt in peewee.
Bruh the way that lil man had slammed the other kid
Knew this video was trash when the first hit was head to head, but "Good job! Good Job!".
I know so fucking stupid lmao
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ this is poor coaching. The very first set of kids helmets collide. It wasn't even shoulder tackling.
