Slide tackles should not be allowed in division 5 lower and 6. All players at that age should stay on their feet. In division 5 upper it is allowed provided they are only one legged tackles and are safe. That means they are using one foot and are sweeping the ball to the side. No cleats showing at a player during the tackle. If contact is made with the player first on more than one occassion then it should not be allowed by that player in division 5. Cards are issued in division 4 and up if they are tackling improperly. Please keep a close watch on the tackles.
