The Fisher Athletic 965 Series Trap Chute is a heavy-duty football training tool built for linemen and quarterbacks looking to sharpen technique at every level of play. Available in 10', 15', 20', and 25' lengths, this chute gives coaches the flexibility to run position-specific drills that demand proper pad level, body mechanics, and explosion off the line of scrimmage. At 4 feet deep with adjustable height ranging from 42" to 60", it accommodates players of varying sizes and skill levels without complex adjustments.
The powder-coated steel frame delivers the kind of durability that holds up through seasons of daily practice, while the nylon mesh "no-scratch" top cover keeps helmets and gear protected drill after drill. One person can rotate and lock the chute angle, making it easy to transition between low-pad drills and quarterback passing drills with the chute in a vertical position - no full crew needed to reset between reps.

FAQ
What length Trap Chute should I choose for my program?
It depends on the size of your group and how many players you want moving simultaneously. The 10' is ideal for focused position drills with fewer players, while the 25' accommodates a full offensive line unit at once. Most high school programs find the 15' or 20' to be the best balance of capacity and manageability.
Are wheels included with the Trap Chute?
No, wheels are not included. However, Fisher Athletic offers an optional Wheel Kit (model 9680) that can be added to any 965 Series Trap Chute to make field transport and repositioning easier.
Can the Trap Chute be used for quarterback drills?
Yes. With the chute rotated to a vertical position, it can be used for quarterback passing mechanics drills. The single-operator angle adjustment makes it easy for one coach to switch the chute between positions without assistance.
How is this product shipped?
Due to the size and weight of the Trap Chute (300 to 600 lbs depending on model), this product ships via freight on a pallet. Please contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com before purchasing if you need a shipping quote or want to confirm delivery details for your facility.
Does the nylon mesh cover actually protect helmets?
Yes. The "no-scratch" nylon mesh top cover is specifically designed to prevent helmet and gear abrasion during drills. This is an important feature for programs looking to preserve equipment over a full season of daily reps.
