Football Tackling Drill: The Thud Drill

  

 

1 - Line up players kneeling down knee to knee. (It works best if the players are around the same build and height.)

2 - Have the defensive player sit on his heels while the offensive player is upright on his knees with his arms straight out to a tee.

3 - Have the defensive player explode off his heels with both arms wrapping around the other player (under the arm pits) while grabbing the back of the jerseys.

4 - Once this has been done a few times have them stand up and repeat with feet to feet.
