    do not tackle with your facemask into the center of the number that will get you a penalty. Always keep your head up at all times and tackle with your shoulder and arms. If you like to know more about the proper tackling technique look up nata's heads up video it is very helpful

    Confidence is the key to making a tackle...you always need to play with confidence because if you already know you can't takle him before you try the battle is already over confidence keeps you pumped up and it keeps you focused on the goal so use it and have fun playing the game.

    People, I can,t stress this enough. WRAP. If hes bigger than you hit him low, unlless you are overconfident and dont mind getting ran over. but dont be scared. If he is a managible size put your face mask in his numbers. Also, dont doubt yourself. If you get scared or nervous you are probably less likely to make the tackle.

    Wrap, wrap, wrap, the best thing to do is wrap. If the guy is a lot bigger then you, you should probably hit him lower then you would hit your size. But whatever you do remember to wrap.

    In high school football face tackling is illegal, and need I say dangerous to perform the tackling technique. The rule book for the National Federation of High Schools says in section 4.3.i that " No player shall...Butt block, face tackle or spear." As defined in section 2.42.2 "...Face tackling is driving the face mask, frontal area or top of the helmet directly into the runner." There are many different ways to teach tackling safely and legally. One thing they all involve is leading with the shoulder and keeping the head out of the tackle.

    One of the biggest reasons players miss tackles is because their afraid they might miss, get hurt, or think they can't do it. So my point is to deliver the blow to the running back before he does to you and not to have any intimidation.

    Run full steam at the ball carrier and hit him under the shoulder pads. Give him a stiff shove right as you make contact. Make him wish that he'd never heard of football.

    Run at them at full speed. Stay low so they can't just plow under you. Put your face mask on the ball, wrap them up, and slam the poor guy hard enough to make his head spin.

    Make sure your feet are shoulder length apart and you are on the balls of your feet. Stay low, the low man wins. Place your shoulder pad low on their numbers and place your face mask on the ball carrying side. This way you can create more fumbles. When you are tackling keep your arms near to your sides when you wrap up. Drive your hips through to create your momentum. Don't try to tackle with your hands, lead with your shoulder pad.

    Run at him full speed, and keep your head up so you don't break your neck. Then when you reach him, wrap up and push up with your body to take him down. Don't make arm tackles, it will mess up your arm.
