coach,
can you post the url for this youtube video. The owner does not allow this video to be embedded. I did a search on youtube for the tug, but could not find this video.
Thanks,

Go to the website and they have a link to a video download. Im using an old tire today for my tug, 200 bucks is a lot for me for that piece of equipment. I would maybe go 100 bucks but not 200 for a piece of plastic.

We bought one last year, its worth the money! I wish we had bought 3 of them. A tire works, but you cannot adjust the weight of a tire to make it more difficult or easy. I agree its a lot of money but is the kind of equipment that should last for 20 years. Remember, "YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM THE TUG!"

I like the video but if the "Tug" is $200 I don't think we'll be buying one. We do a slightly different drill invloving standup dummies. 2 players will wrap their arms around and end and then on the whistle they try to take the dummy away from the other guy. We'll do this drill in shorts or in full gear - the first one to let go or the first one to go down loses. We will put the kids in groups by position, by grade, or just mix them up to eventually work down to 2 finalists. Lets the tough guys step up and allows those who need a little toughness to go full speed against other guys. I do like the tug of war aspect to the "tug" but I think we'll go with a tire to do that drill.

You can make a similar thing using a couple of towels and athletic tape. It uses three guys instead of 2 and you start at a center point with a cone behind each player far enough that they have to pull both other men. first man to touch their cone wins. this really tears up a grass service though.
