TackleBar Football is a safer approach to the game that preserves the tradition and spirit of the sport. It teaches safe contact, sound fundamentals and is decreasing injuries. TackleBar is increasing youth participation numbers by easing parent fears and making the game accessible and fun for kids of all ages and sizes. Players wear helmets, shoulder pads and a TackleBar harness around their midsection that has two foam bars on the back. The players make contact like they’re going to tackle, then pull a foam bar off the opponent’s harness.
