[QUOTE="Tin, post: 142022"] my advice for you is ask someone you play with, one of the more experienced players for a bit of advice in tackling technique, if theyre friends they should help because at the end of the day all the explaining wont help if you dont see it yourself. my advice in terms of technique is: (i wrote this in another post a while ago) For a tackle in which you just want to bring the opponent down i personally try to line them up as soon as i can and either hit the waist in which case ill start driving the legs and try and lift one of their legs, or if they try to step try to get a leg and wrap the arms around, work on any size and believe me being only 5'9ish it works on all sizes. if you've got a couple of team mates near enough incase this misses or the situation calls for it, if the opponent carrys the ball at chest height try and hit hard with the shoulder into the chest or somewhere in the upper body obviously keeping it legal and drive, if possible aim for the ball. for side on tackles just focus on their legs and try and slide around them after the hit to get onto your feet and try and rip the ball. main thing is dont try and shy away from the tackle you'll get hurt more often then not :cheers: [/QUOTE]
