The Cleveland Browns are set to host a Rookie Tackle Demo at Jerome T. Osborne Sr. Stadium in Mentor, OH on Saturday, May 6 at 6:00 PM.
Designed by USA Football, the Rookie Tackle model is part of the Youth Football Player Development Pathway, which serves as a bridge game from flag to traditional 11-player tackle football.
Unlike traditional 11-player tackle, all players will have the opportunity to learn and play multiple positions. A 7-on-7 format allows for higher coach-to-player ratio leading to advanced player skill development. Another noticeable difference is the smaller field (40 x 35 1/3 to fit the right age, right stage of the player).
