Football Tackling Drills – Get Low

These football tackling drills are great for youth football as well as high school. My goal is to teach a lot of basic fundamentals.

This football drill is to help teach players to get low while tackling. My players seem to think that shoulder pads are a great thing to tackle. I line my guys up on the goal line and put a tackling dummy at the 40. On go the players have to run towards the dummy grabbing grass every 10 yards (10, 20, 30, then get low as they tackle the dummy at the 40).

It sounds mundane but this football drill seems to be working.   High school kids have a hard time breaking old habits so this would be great introduced at the youth level.
