Description Concussion has emerged as a significant concern in rugby, with a growing number of incidents being recorded. To address this issue, EDU-TACKLE has developed an innovative solution in the form of an educational tackle bag attachment. The product serves as an effective tool to teach proper tackle technique while instilling confidence in players.
The EDU-TACKLE is designed with specific zones that focus on different aspects of the tackle. The front of the product features a shoulder zone with the logo, in-between two head zones. On the back, there are six arm segments that emphasise the arm wrap, as well as a tackle height ring that ensures players tackle at the appropriate height as per World Rugby laws. The product can be easily attached and detached from a tackle bag using a heavy-duty Velcro hook and loop system located at the back. Additionally, the adjustable attachment mechanism enables the bag to be placed at different heights on the tackle bag, facilitating practice of various types of tackles. EDU-TACKLE aims to create a safer game through education.
Innovation EDU-TACKLE represents a pioneering solution to enhance player safety within rugby union. The product features multiple contact zones, providing a visual representation of where specific body parts should be placed during a tackle. Complementing these zones is a specially designed tackle height ring, enabling players to aim for a tackle height that complies with the World Rugby Laws. Constructed from premium materials, EDU-TACKLE delivers a remarkably soft feel that was validated through rigorous testing, where users reported an improved experience compared to traditional tackle bags. The increased size of the bag reinforces the importance of arm wrapping technique, a crucial aspect of the game. By placing greater emphasis on arm wrap through larger diameter and reinforced arm zones, EDU-TACKLE facilitates skill development and instils confidence among younger players transitioning into contact rugby.
Product Detail EDU-TACKLE is comprised of a medium-density foam core, enveloped in a durable, waterproof vinyl cover made from UV-resistant PVC fabric. The product's contact zones are thoughtfully cushioned with hi-loft polyester, also wrapped in the same vinyl cover PVC fabric. Additionally, corespun polyester with cotton wrap thread is utilised to securely stitch all the components together, ensuring long-lasting structural integrity. EDU-TACKLE's joining mechanism employs a heavy-duty Velcro hook and loop strip, further enhancing its durability and usability. Finally, the product's logo is elegantly showcased on the front using a varnished, sturdy adhesive vinyl sticker.
