Tackling Circuit: Compression, Hawk, Hawk Roll, Ankle Slap, & Profile – Chris Ross

This course details a comprehensive tackling circuit designed to build fundamentals year-round even without pads. Starting with box footwork progression, coach Ross emphasizes the importance of great feet, eyes, and leverage as the foundation of defensive play. Coaches will learn how footwork ties directly into tackling and block destruction, how to instill confidence and mental dominance in players, and how to teach defenders to “own their fit” with explosive movements and disciplined technique.
