Ensuring player safety and longevity is our top priority at Wests!

We want to emphasise that the new tackle height laws will be rigorously enforced across all grades & age groups at our club.

Changing the legal tackle height to the base of the sternum ensures the tackler’s head is lower relative to the ball carrier’s body, minimising the risk of head-to-head, and head-to shoulder contact, and reducing the risk of head injury to both players.

All coaches will be working with their teams this preseason explaining the law and working on tackling techniques for all players.
