We were lucky enough to be part of the Lions Sports Academy TackleTEK programme and I cannot recommend this method of coaching more for other schools to take up. Player safety is a standout concern for our coaches at this level of rugby and working with the LSA coaches has given us the tools, technique and confidence to teach tackling safely to all of the boys
James Melville, Harrow School
“There is definitely parental concern about whether they should be letting their child learn rugby given the safety fears currently being documented in the media. Our parents have said they love that we are taking a proactive approach to make rugby tackling safer as they were worried about their child playing before. I urge any school to get in touch with Andy Jones to help address this important issue
Matthew Allen, Davenies Prep School
Lions Sports Academy and their team of coaches came to us to help improve tackling competence in our players. The TackleTEK programme was easily picked up by our coaches and their tackling methods were passed on to our students who really enjoyed their fun and easy-to-follow sessions. To safeguard the future of our great game as many schools as possible should be following this approach and signing up with Lions
