Contact Solutions
Our contact solutions train athletes to execute safe and effective tackling by leveraging a proven, integrated process. These include phases and elements focusing on proper alignment, understanding assignment, closing distance, establishing leverage, changing levels, transitioning to the power position, etc. This results in a tackle that eliminates the head from contact and takes the opponent to the ground.
