Why & How

Tracking
• Run & Gather: Keeps
tackler in proper hitting
(fit) position to tackle.
Aiming point is near hip.
• Keys: Wrap through
thighs, bring thighs to
chest & squeeze; drive
feet through contact 5
yards.
Tackler tracks near hip of ball carrier
(BC), sprinting at an angle in the proper
fit position. Hits BC with head on inside
hip, wraps, squeezes legs through
chest, and drives feet.
Turk Tackles
• From Knees: Tacklers starts on
knees 1-3 feet in front of BC.
BC moves in either direction.
Tackler puts head on inside hip,
squeezes thighs through chest,
eyes up, and drives.
• Progression: Start near and
move to 10 yards with
jogging/tracking. (Once D can
tackle properly, progress to a
cross face tackle, with head
across the body)
• Keys: Keep eyes up, bring
shoulder through hips, drive for
5 yards
Turk Roll Tackles
• Roll Tackle: Tackle starts in
a fit position on BC. Inside
foot is splitting the BC, head
on the outside, eyes level
through the thighs. Tackler
wraps the ball carrier and
rolls to leverage. (Usually
onto himself.)
• Keys: Eyes through thighs,
wrap with shoulder, ROLL!
• Progression: Progress to
jogging and tracking, always
tackle in fit position. Can use
handheld bags as BC. Head
is on near hip.
