Been fine over the years. No Full contact just means you aren’t tackling to the ground. You can still fit up, wrap up, and run your feet with good form at full speed and never bring a guy to the ground. Does it still happen on occasion? Yes. But you aren’t punishing kids to the ground repeatedly. You have to supplement situations where you may have to go low or wrap and roll with daily drills. Even with these restrictions, we haven’t seen a dip in our defense’s performance because we work on tackling daily and are still full speed and aggressive during team time. We just have our kids know the difference of how we tackle our own guys vs another team.
