Procedure: |
Align two cones five yards apart. Divide defenders into two single file lines five yards apart facing one another and designate one group as the ball carriers and the other group as the defenders. The coach stands behind the first defender and signals the direction to the ball carrier. On the coach's cadence, the ball carrier takes off the designated cone. The defender closes the distance and executes a proper angle tackle. The drill should be conducted so that all defenders work angle tackling to both the right and left sides. |
