Minor Tackle - The elementary teachings of tackle football. This is a fundamental division where your player will learn offensive and defensive formations, tackling/playing safely and the ethics of teams sports. We will play other towns home and away, and competition and rivalry will begin to develop as well.
This division is an adjustment from flag. It can take newer players several weeks to feel the flow and adjust to the contact side of the sport. Have patience and encourage your player through this process. The players who adapt quicker will generally see more field time initially while our staff's keep a close eye on safety first and the comfort levels of each player as they develop. Every child is different in this development. Safety is the first thing considered, and will not be sacrificed. This is a very large step for a youth athlete, and all parties involved will need to nurture this mentality during development.
