The Rae Crowther Classic S-Advantage Tackler is a varsity football tackling sled that pairs a contoured S-pad with a single pontoon base. It is built for coaches who want players practicing full-speed tackling form against a target shaped like a real ball carrier.

Unlike a straight pad that leans forward, the S-pad follows the angles of a player's body, with distinct head, torso, waist and knee areas. That shape pushes tacklers to sink their hips, strike up and through the target, close the space to the carrier and stay tight to the pad while driving their feet. The sled does not pop back up on its own, but it is easy to stand upright again between reps.

The single pontoon base cuts down on players landing on the sled and discourages flipping it or tackling high around the neck. The sled also doubles as a one-man drive sled: it tends to snake rather than travel straight, which forces the player to get his feet under him and control his body, and if he hits too high the rear of the pontoon digs in and stops the sled.

The varsity sled weighs 212 pounds and has a black powder-coated frame. Choose the S1 pad, or the S2 pad, which adds arms and a chest plate for a tougher drill and lowers the contact point by about 2 inches. Both pads are available in Black, Navy, Royal, Red and Green.

  • S1 Pad in Black, Navy, Royal, Red or Green
  • S2 Pad (adds arms and a chest plate) in Black, Navy, Royal, Red or Green

What is the difference between the s1 and s2 pads?
The s2 pad adds arms and a chest plate, which makes the drill more demanding and lowers the contact point by about 2 inches compared with the s1.
How much does the sled weigh?
The varsity sled weighs 212 pounds.
Does the sled pop back up after a hit?
No. it does not right itself automatically, but it is easy to stand back up between reps.
Can it be used as a drive sled?
Yes. it works as a one-man drive sled. it tends to snake rather than go straight, so players must keep their feet under them, and the rear of the pontoon digs in if they hit too high.
What pad colors are available?
Black, navy, royal, red and green, for both the s1 and s2 pads.
Why a single pontoon base?
The single pontoon reduces players landing on the base of the sled and discourages them from flipping it or tackling high around the neck.
