The Fisher Athletic 9211 Series Junior Varsity Tackle Sled is built to develop fundamentally sound tacklers from the ground up. Designed specifically for JV-level players, this sled demands proper technique on every rep - players must hit low, drive their legs, and maintain correct shoulder and body position to take the sled from upright to the ground. It's a training tool that doesn't allow bad habits to go uncorrected.
Constructed with 100 lb impact-resistant foam and wrapped in durable 18 oz vinyl that is double and triple stitched, the 9211 is built to take punishment season after season. The sled's base is designed to glide cleanly across both natural grass and artificial turf without causing damage, making it a smart choice for programs that care about their field surfaces.

Cone Pad: Features a cone-shaped profile that naturally guides players to hit the center mass. Ideal for reinforcing correct entry angles and shoulder positioning.
Man Pad: Shaped to simulate an opposing player's upper body. Best for programs that want the most realistic one-on-one tackling simulation and open-field tackle training.

FAQ
What is the difference between the pad options?
The 9211 is available in four pad configurations: Attack Pad, Cone Pad, Man Pad, and Round Pad. Each is designed to emphasize different aspects of tackling and blocking technique. The Man Pad offers the most realistic player simulation, the Round Pad is great for general fundamentals, the Cone Pad guides players to proper entry angles, and the Attack Pad focuses on aggressive low-charge technique. Select the option that best matches your program's practice goals when adding to cart.
Is this sled appropriate for youth or varsity players?
The 9211 Series is designed specifically for Junior Varsity level players. At 175 lbs, it provides the right amount of resistance for JV athletes to develop drive and technique without being too heavy. Fisher Athletic offers other sled models for younger youth programs and full varsity use if needed.
Will this sled damage my artificial turf field?
No - the 9211 is specifically designed with a base that does not chew up or damage either natural grass or artificial turf surfaces. It is safe for use on any standard football field surface.
How does this sled reinforce proper tackling technique?
The 9211's design requires players to approach and strike the sled correctly to drive it from its upright position to the ground. To do this effectively, players must hit low, maintain proper shoulder and body positioning, and use strong leg drive - the same fundamentals required in a real game. Players who use poor technique simply won't move the sled efficiently, making it a natural self-correcting training tool.
