PREFERRED PARTNERS
TackleBar Football is limited contact football, which offers the same experiences and skill development as traditional full contact football but in a controlled contact setting, without tackling to the ground. Players wear the TackleBar harness around their midsection, which holds two foam bars on the back. TackleBar teaches defenders to apply proper form tackling technique while engaging the ball carrier to rip off a foam bar, ending the play. This can be applied as a game format as well as a practice tool. By advancing player protection and teaching proper fundamentals, limited contact TackleBar is helping grow the game.
