The Rae Crowther Jax Tackler Varsity is a self-uprighting, four-pad tackling sled built to deliver hundreds of realistic, low-impact tackling reps in a single practice. As a player drives one pad to the ground, a linked pad automatically rises back into position, giving coaches continuous, hands-free reps without ever needing to reset the sled.

Because the sled can be attacked from four different angles, it supports square, angle, profile, and chase tackling drills, making it a versatile way to teach proper shoulder-strike form. Thick foam padding wrapped in durable vinyl absorbs contact, while heavy 40 oz. nylon end caps and metal D-ring buckles (not plastic) are built to hold up under daily practice use.

A Quick Strap System lets coaches remove and reinstall the pad covers without tools, and the heavy-gauge steel base resists bending under player weight while breaking down into sections for easy transport and storage.
