TackleBar Football is a device designed to facilitate safe contact and sound fundamentals while maintaining game speed and discipline. Players wear a TackleBar harness around the midsection, which includes two removable foam bars held in the lower back area. Players must track and engage with proper tackling fundamentals to wrap the ball carrier and rip off one of the foam bars. The TackleBar harness is designed to promote proper defensive fundamentals and heads up play. TackleBar Football is currently being implemented in youth leagues throughout the nation and is available for purchase at www.tacklebar.com.
