Whats New at TACKLEBAR?
What is TackleBar Football?
TackleBar® is a limited contact football game that bridges the gap between flag football and tackle football. Players wear full pads and learn all of the traditional fundamentals of the game in a limited contact setting. This approach is providing players an authentic football experience that decreases injuries and increases participation in the sport.

TackleBar Youth
TackleBar is a limited contact game that bridges the gap between flag football and tackle football. While using the TackleBar harness, players wear traditional football equipment plus a TackleBar harness around their midsection that holds two removable foam bars on the lower back. The design teaches and requires players to use the proper shoulder tackling technique while wrapping up the ball carrier and pulling off a foam bar from the harness to end the play. With this approach, players learn to refine their technique without tackling a player to the ground.
TackleBar High School
High school and college football players use the TackleBar harness in practice to refine technique and practice game-speed tackling drills while staying on their feet. USA Football now incorporates the TackleBar harness within its shoulder tackling and advanced tackling teachings.
Wrap and Rip
The TackleBar harness teaches proper shoulder tackling technique and skill development. The defender must track and engage with proper form tackling technique while wrapping the ball carrier and ripping a bar from the harness. Players are able to practice proper breakdown, body positioning, and engagement. It’s a true simulation of live tackling without putting players through the wear and tear of full contact.
“TackleBar equipment is a terrific fit for the Football Development Model, which is designed to advance the game through an expanded education and safety framework that focuses on an athlete's age, skill development, and game type to reduce contact.”
Scott Hallenbeck — CEO, USA Football
