REAR TACKLE
All open play 1v1
tackles from the rear
must be delivered
below the base of the
sternum.
DOUBLE TACKLE
If two defenders both
deliver a tackle to the
ball carrier both
defenders must make
contact below the base
of the sternum. A rip
for the ball must not be
attempted above the
base of the sternum.
BALL CARRIER
RESPONSIBILITY
The ball carrier must
not dip into the tackle
to the extreme that
would bring the tack-
ler and ball
carriers heads into the
same space.
THE PICK AND DRIVE
The Pick and Drive has been deemed low risk for head injuries due to the low velocity of both the ball
carrier and defender and resulting the law in this area of the game to be unchanged. However, if the
ball carrier makes the decision to rise upright from the contact area, from their initial low pick and drive
position, this action results in the application of the new Tackle Height Law.
