Tackle Smart
Location TBC | Sundays in April | 11:00am–2:00pm (ish)
Tackle Smart is a Rugby Canada programme developed in collaboration with the University of Calgary as well as leading experts in player welfare, strength and conditioning, and concussion mitigation. It is part of Rugby Canada’s and World Rugby’s broader commitment to making the game safer while maintaining performance and participation.
Aligned with World Rugby’s ongoing commitment to player safety, including the lower tackle height law trials, this program helps you understand not only how to coach the tackle, but why specific technical and law-based changes are being implemented across the community game.
The program touches on Contact Confident principles, using evidence-based activities that build physical competence, confidence, and safety in contact.
