text: what are some tips on tackle football?   it's hard to give you any specific tips without knowing what position you will be trying out for. but for starters, always keep you head up. keep your feet moving constantly. you should practice getting into the stance of the position you want to play, such as two point stance or three point stance.  if you are thinking about being a ball carrier you should focus on sprinting. when running the football you need to be explosive. stay low and keep you legs churning. you may also want to get a good feel for the ball. you can do this by buying the same size football you would be playing with and take it with you wherever you go. if you are lineman material you want to work on exploding out of your three point stance. you need to be able to fire out low. i teach my linemen to strike with both hands in the chest and drive with short, choppy steps with a wide base. during the off season you may want to contact your coach and see if you can get a copy of the play book. hope this helps.
