Our youth, junior varsity, and varsity football programs support hard work, teamwork, leadership development, and physical well being. We are improving the game of football through teaching of proper tackling and blocking techniques at all levels and continue to address them as fundamentals throughout our seasons. However, we are in need of new equipment to teach safe tackling technique. The tackle wheel dummies allows development of open field pursuit angle, hand and head placement, and tackle follow through without the need for player-on-player contact. It is a soft, flexible tool that reduces risk of injury while developing football skills. Without the tackle wheel, our athletes will be forced to continue live player-on-player contact increasing risk of concussion or bodily injury while they are still learning fundamental skills. Thank you for supporting the health and safety of our student-athletes.
