Yes I understand most of your football terms. I'm from Austria so i speak German. I've been coaching for ten years now. Right now I coach 16-19 year old boys and a men's team.

I will presentate my philosophie of tackling to some coaches who coach 9 -12 year old kids.
My approach was that I start with the kids on their knees and on go the reach and grab. My in the last weeks I see the kids in the game droping on their knees and try to make the takle.

So I will change my approach.
Any help will be appreciated.

COACH,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE. HERE ARE THE RULES AND PROGRESSION I HAVE USED FOR 42 YEARS.

1. SEE WHAT YOU HIT!!! IN OTHER WORDS, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND LOOKING AT YOUR TARGET. DO NOT HIT YOUR OPPONENT WITH THE CROWN OF YOUR HELMET AS THIS IS HOW YOU CAN VERY EASILY GET A BROKEN NECK.

2. WITH RUNNER COMING STRAIGHT AT YOU- STAY LOW WITH GOOD POWER BASE AND LEGS DRIVING TO YOUR TARGET. DO NOT WAIT FOR HIM TO COME AND HIT YOU, GO TO HIM AND HIT HIM FIRST BY DRIVING YOUR SHOULDER INTO HIS MIDSECTION, WRAPPING UP AND PUTTING HIM DOWN!!! DO NOT TACKLE ABOVE THE WAIST AS IF HE IS A STRONG RUNNER HE WILL CONTINUE TO RUN IF YOU HIT HIM HIGH. IF YOU HIT HIM LOWAND WRAP BOTH ARMS AROUND HIS LEGS, HE IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE!

3. ANGLE TACKLE- TAKE PROPER ANGLE TO RUNNER, HIT HIM BY DRIVING YOUR SHOULDER INTO HIS BODY AT WAIST TO THIGH HEIGHT AND WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO JAR THE BALL LOOSE AS YOU DRIVE YOUR HEAD ACROSS HIS BODY. ONLY USE THE SHOULDER ROLL TACKLE WHEN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!!! (JUST MY OPINION)

4. TACKLING RUNNER GOING STRAIGHT AWAY FROM YOU- AS YOU CATCH UP WITH HIM, DRIVE YOUR FULL BODY WEIGHT BEHIND YOUR PADS INTO HIS HIPS AND THIGH AREAS, LOCK UP AND PUT HIM DOWN. DO NOT JUMP ON HIM HIGH UP!!!

Do you take apart the complex movement of a tackle in individual simpler movemements. or do you just let the kids run straight at each other and tell them what to do?

Lots of drills available on the coaching section of their website as well as two levels of coaching courses designed specifically for youth football coaches.

I'd highly recommend taking a look at it coach. What part of Germany are you from coach?
