S-Advantage Tackler Defensive Drills

S-PAD IMITATES A LIVE BALL CARRIER:
The S-Pad has a head, torso, waist and knees. It represents the look of a ball carrier in motion, not standing still.
Thus, the pad promotes the proper hitting position and takedown technique. It provides realistic angles for defenders to attack.

KNEE BEND:
The S-Pad promotes knee bend. Approaching players must bend their knees and strike the pad from low to high.
It trains tacklers to square their hips through contact, shoot their arms, wrap up, and drive their feet.

BETTER TACKLING:
We believe the S-Advantage Tackler will make your players better tacklers. And, as you know, better tackling translates to harder hits and more forced turnovers. Increased turnovers mean increased wins.

Bill Bates
Asst. Football Coach
Nease High School
(3-time Super Bowl Champion)
"The fundamentals of tackling are easily taught using the S-Tackler. This is a must purchase for your team's practice equipment!"

Chris Norman
Head Coach

(State Champs '86, '87, '98, '05, '06)
"The pad is in the contact position, the S shape. It's the best darn thing I've seen in countless years. Honestly, it's a heck of an advancement. We love it."

Ground Battle Chute Defensive Drills

KEEPING MULTIPLE PLAYERS LOW
In general, the Ground Battle Chutes are designed to keep players low and maintain a good football position while moving.

If your goal is to train as many athletes as possible, in as many varied drills as possible, and in the shortest possible time - then you have found the perfect chutes!

CHUTE SIZE MEANS MORE OF YOUR DRILLS IN LESS TIME
The 36' x 6', 27' x 12', and 27' x 6' are large enough to run just about any drills for any position. Think DLs, DBs, RBs, WRs, and even QBs.

The 27' x 12' is wide enough to allow 2 opposing rows of players to work drills simultaneously in different directions.

Mike Armstrong
Offensive Line Coach
Spring Valley High School
"Successful line play, offensively and defensively, involves low pads, leverage and proper technique. When a lineman is performing at a low pad level for an extended distance, any technique deficiencies he possesses will be detected. Most chutes are short and narrow and limit movement. This is why the Ground Battle Chute is the largest and most versatile chute on the market. This chute is wide, long, adjustable, and safe and has no inner supports that inhibit lateral or diagonal movement. Whatever your blocking scheme, trap, zone, counter, combo or fold, this chute will accommodate your team."

Mark Solis
Head Coach
Elyria High School
"We at Elyria High School have two 12' x 12' GBCs. They are very valuable pieces of equipment to teach kids to stay low and maintain leverage. These Chutes allow you to use a myriad of drills that will elevate your players' games. Every position on offense and defense can use the Jam Tent. They helped us earn a berth in the Ohio High School Div. 1 playoffs for the first time in school history."

G-Force Sled Defensive Drills

MOVING TARGETS:
Welcome to the G-Force zone. The G-Force sled consists of 4 swinging dummies. Each dummy works independently of each other. The G-Force sled allows you to work 1 to 8 players simultaneously (2 opposing players can punch the bag toward each other). The swinging bags provide moving targets for players. The G-Force can be a great aid in teaching the fundamentals of body balance and hand striking.

100 LB. SWIVELING BAGS:
The G-Force sled includes 4 swinging dummies that weigh approximately 100 lbs. each. Each bag has a handle on the back for a coach or player to 'throw" the bag(s) at a player(s). Another unique feature is that the bags are mounted on a swivel-type mechanism that allows them to rotate and spin. The rotating bags make punching more game like and dynamic.

"We use the G-Force Sled almost every practice. It's a heck of a tool. We use it for pass rush, playing with our hands and attacking blockers, as well as form tackling. And, our OL coach uses it for pass pro and other drills as well. On this sled you can accomplish a lot of reps in a short amount of time. The moving bags really add an elevated degree of realism. It also has wheels so you can conveniently move when necessary. The bottom line is I think it's a great piece of equipment that I would recommend for any program."
