Youth Football - Learning How to Tackle

Watch as Coach Gabe teaches the basics of tackling and shows the players the "Buzz Your Feet" drill. This is a perfect video for youth players and their coaches to help them improve on the most important part of Football Defense.

I never comment… ever. This was an outstanding demonstration and explanation for new players and coaches.

Sprint, breakdown, put your driving foot between offenders feet, dip hips and launch with shoulder on the same side as the driving foot, make contact with shoulder and wrap arms. Target legs or hips. Repetition makes it muscle memory. 👌🏻 This is great drills.

Damn good video. Cant wait to work with my son on it.

[imbane]

thanks you for helping me tackle better

[jrramsanfam]

This was a really good video!!!! Keep up the good work coach

Can't teach head across anymore coach. Need to watch the Seahawks tackling drills on YOUTUBE . CTE is changing the game. Gotta evolve with it !

[davidbeckham]

this video did an amazing job teaching me how to tackle for my first season of middle school football

[vhype]

Yes they teach near hip now to my knowledge

[adventureland_dad]

Coach I do the same, almost word to word, movement to movement. Yes, it's basics but without it progress goes slow or no progress at all. One exception, I coach chinese children, even with my chinese colleague it's harder😂😂😂

[mikejones]

Great Great video. Any more by any chance?

[vhype]

Coach they no longer teach facemask on ball. They teach heads up tackling now and head out the game

[tomkiker]

This would be a really good video if there wasn't that background music.

[rssmps]

Putting head on ball is a recipe for concussion. This is outdated technique especially for youth. Try hawk tackle.

[richarddeluna]

Good fundamentals but a quick cut will break your ankles lunging with one foot like that. Need to break down.

[ninjawarrior]

I would agree with everything other than putting your head in the tackle that is a very unsafe thing especially for youth football

[partyrockstarboy]

Did anyone notice the kid with orange socks has soccer pads aka knee pads

[gabeval]

Great stuff. Very talented coach. Wonderful communicator, but a bit on the verbose side. He's also fatter than I expected.

I would edit this down to 5 minutes. I would also like to see some game footage of Trevor making textbook tackles at the end. It's the classic story of hard work paying off.  

[rainingdinos]

That's not different.thats naruto running.

[lukewaggoner]

Front tackle is easy cuz you stay low and take out is legs
