From Steve…
Team tackling football drill -
Start with four bags placed 2 yards apart. This will give you 3 holes for the running back to run through. Have a runningbacks line and a linebackers line, lined up 3 yards away from first bag.
The football coach stands behind the linebacker and gives the running back 1 finger, 2 or 3 for designated hole. On whistle the running back runs down the line and through the hole. The linebacker shuffles down the line and meets the running back in the hole or behind the bags never let the running back get through the hole.
Teach proper tackling–square up low or mid section, drive feet, head on football, do not wait for RB to hit you go get him. The running back runs down hill, protect football, run over LB or straight arm.
Switch lines so that everyone gets to do both.
