Is there a strap/equipment I can attach to my son's helmet so it forces him to keep his head up when tackling?

The league/social services won't let me hit him with a stick when he doesn't keep his head up, and I'm worried he will get seriously injured. Ok, kidding about the stick, but I am worried. Nobody can seem to break him of this.

    Yes there is it's called the Heads-Up Stabilizer.
    http://www.heads-upstabilizer.com/football.html

    I have seen it and it really works. It's easy to attach and will prevent the head from certain angles/ range of motion.

    We have also implemented the Tackling Academy curriculum into our practices.
    It's a great way to have coaches and players on same page with terminology and it's all about putting the body in proper placement throughout the entire tackle. Learn more at http://yfbca.org/tackling_academy

    Good Luck
