Technically this wasn’t a youth football practice but a women’s rugby practice but since it was all players who’d never played before and they were all super-excited to be there despite having no clue what was going on.
We had a wet and gross practice today and we were going to practice tackling. Usually it’s a pain because nobody wants to get wet so they try to avoid going down and it’s a waste of time until they finally get wet enough not to care. Instead, this time I said “before we start tackling we’re all going to roll around on the grass and get good and wet so there’s nothing to gain from not tackling properly.” Problem solved, we did fifteen minutes of great tackling.
