Confidence Before Contact.
Co-founded by Coach Nick, a former Division I football player and respected youth sports leader, and Coach Bob, a retired U.S. Marine and former rugby player, Heads Up Tackling is led on the field by Coach Bob. Together, they created a program with one mission: to teach young athletes how to tackle with confidence, proper technique, and safety. By combining years of playing, coaching, military leadership, and youth development experience, they've built a program that prepares athletes not only to become better football players, but more confident competitors. Every drill is taught on pads and mats—never on another athlete. In a safe, controlled environment, athletes develop the confidence, technique, and muscle memory needed to play fast, physical, and safe when it matters most. Our Promise We believe every athlete deserves the opportunity to learn the game the right way—from the very first rep. Our mission is to build confident, fundamentally sound players while making the game safer for every child who steps onto the field.

Why parents choose us
Blocking pads only
Athletes make contact with shields, dummies, and mats — never with each other. No live tackling at any point.
Taught by Coach Bob
A retired Marine and former rugby player who runs every clinic personally and coaches every rep.
Small groups, real reps
Spots are limited so every athlete gets corrected repetitions instead of waiting at the back of a line.
