I recently attended a seminar on Physical Presence as part of my Level 2 AFL Accreditation. It was a fantatsic night hosted by one of WA finest physical presence and AFL?WAFL tackling coaches dr. Les Fabre.
Head over to this link and see the presentation. http://www.drfabre.com.au/presentations/physical_presence/pages/slide01.htm
I think it has all the components of what you are looking for in teaching tackling.
the cream will always rise, but learning collision and tackling early, is an advantage.
Agree with you there,but the rest of your suggestion risks burn out for the majority of kids.
tackling isn't that hard to learn it's more about desire.
.
in my opinion, 1 hour of day of exercise and 40 mins on sat and sun doesnt risk burnout. it gets em off the lounge.....
and then theres summer...
Agreed, for the normal kid, but I'm talking about the kid who takes football seriously as a possible career path and playing that much extra to improve your tackling IMO is taking things seriously.
.
im not sure how 'much extra' you are concerned about.
Pretty much what you're describing.
.
if you believe 1 hour a day of exercise is too much for kids in your opinion,
I'm talking the cumulative effect over years and not neccesarily physical burnout but mental burnout especially wrt excessively pushy parents.
.
How long can kids train?
As a general rule, children shouldn't train for more than 18-20 hours a week.

you obviously didnt google or researched like i suggested.
Most kids I know who've gone anywhere in sport were playing at least 2 or 3 sports or grades until their mid teens... be that footy/cricket winter/summer & basketball year-round... or juniors + seniors footy & cricket... or 3-4 games of basketball a week.
No burn outs...
It's only when schoolwork gets serious as well, that things change & decisions need to be made.

You've seen no burnouts but offering a reason why they occur?
I've seen burnout and IMO it occurs when a person puts unrealistic expectations upon themself, whether self induced or put there by parents.
.
he was saying that school gets in the way of an active training schedule.
do you know anything about tackling....at all?
Yes, school can definitely add to the pressures of what I said.
"I've seen burnout and IMO it occurs when a person puts unrealistic expectations upon themself, whether self induced or put there by parents".
As I said, I switched to RU and picked tackling easily and was the best on the team for tackling.
I don't know what my tackling ability has to do with my knowledge of burnout.
You two seem to say that there is absolutely no risk of burnout. From what has been presented to the forum I would say say there is a chance of it from observing players in just one sport. The fact that you don't recognise the dangers of burnout suggest it is a possibility.
.
youve been given scientific evidence that shows that more sports and more hours persuing them are better for a childs physical and mental development.
and if you say you found tackling easy etc, etc, id say you are full of s**t.
Well I found tackling relatively easy. What's to it?
1. Wrap your arms around a guy.
2. It's not like kicking that needs power and precision.
3. It's not like marking that needs, judgement, strength and commitment.
4. Even handballing properly is a harder skill to master.
You might have found tackling hard but I didn't !!!
.
excellent.
1. You seem to know everything.
2. I found tackling easy. I was good at it and played RU and rl..
you were the best tackler in the team. you say you were good at it and played both RL and RU,.
