Fisher Athletic JRTS Youth Tackle Sled - 1-Man Jr.


Description

The Fisher Athletic JRTS Youth Tackle Sled is purpose-built to teach young players proper tackling fundamentals from day one. Designed for youth and junior programs, this sled reinforces critical technique - players must hit low, drive with their legs, and maintain correct shoulder and body position just to take it down. It's not just a piece of equipment; it's a built-in coaching tool that won't let bad habits slide.

Constructed with a high-quality 100 lb impact-resistant foam core and wrapped in durable 18 oz double- and triple-stitched vinyl, this sled is engineered to absorb punishment season after season. The turf-friendly base design protects both natural grass and artificial surfaces, making it a smart investment for any youth football facility.


Key Features

  • Impact-Resistant Foam Core: Built from 100 lb high-quality foam that holds its shape and absorbs hard hits during tackle training.
  • 18 oz Vinyl Cover: Durable vinyl is double and triple stitched for long-lasting performance in heavy-use programs.
  • Proper Technique Reinforcement: Forces players to hit low, drive their legs, and maintain correct shoulder and tackling position - bad form won't move the sled.
  • Turf-Friendly Base: Designed to avoid chewing up natural grass or artificial turf surfaces.
  • Base Dimensions - 23.5" x 58": Compact footprint ideal for youth practice fields and drill stations.
  • Weight - 125 lbs: Heavy enough to provide meaningful resistance for junior players without being unmanageable.
  • Two Pad Options: Available in Round Pad (JRTS1) or Man Pad (JRTSM) configurations to match your coaching style and drill preference.
  • Youth Football Focus: Specifically designed for younger athletes learning safe and effective tackling from the start.

Pad Options & Which to Choose

  • Round Pad (JRTS1): Features a round striking surface that encourages centered, clean contact. Ideal for coaches who want to focus on straight-ahead drive and consistent pad engagement during fundamental drills.
  • Man Pad (JRTSM): Shaped to simulate a human upper body target, giving players a more realistic tackling reference. Best for programs that want to replicate game-like contact angles and develop instinctive technique.

FAQ

What age group is the JRTS Youth Tackle Sled designed for?

The JRTS series is specifically designed for youth and junior football players who are learning proper tackling technique. The sled's size, resistance level, and pad configurations are scaled appropriately for younger athletes, making it ideal for elementary and middle school programs.

What is the difference between the Round Pad and Man Pad options?

The Round Pad (JRTS1) has a circular striking surface that promotes centered, consistent contact - great for fundamental tackling drills. The Man Pad (JRTSM) is shaped to resemble a human upper-body target, offering a more game-realistic experience that helps players develop instinctive tackle angles.

Will this sled damage our turf or grass field?

No. The JRTS is specifically designed with a base that does not chew up natural grass or artificial turf. It's safe to use on both surface types without causing damage during normal practice use.

How heavy is the sled, and can players move it after drills?

The sled weighs 125 lbs. While it provides meaningful resistance for tackle training, coaches or staff can reposition it between drills. It is not intended to be moved by a single young player without assistance.

Does this sled require assembly?

Fisher Athletic does not specify full assembly requirements for this model on the product page. Please contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com and we can confirm assembly details and provide any available instructions before your order ships.
