Rae Crowther Classic 5 Man Football Blocking Sled with E2 Pads
Description
The Rae Crowther Classic Sled is a cornerstone of football practice equipment, trusted by programs across the country for over 90 years. Built for "old school" hard-hitting shoulder blocking teams, this sled delivers the kind of resistance and durability that serious coaches demand. The Classic 5 Man Sled is equally at home on natural grass or artificial turf, giving your program the flexibility to train in any environment.
Designed with a modular chassis, the Classic Sled can be reconfigured easily - split a Five Man Sled into a Two and Three Man Sled without specialized tools. Wide 56-inch pad spacing and adjustable pad height ensure every player gets a proper fit, while the low run-through frame opens up a wide range of blocking drills. Whether you're grinding through red zone work or developing fundamentals, the Classic Sled is the proven choice.
Key Features
- 90+ Years of Proven Performance: A staple in football programs nationwide, engineered for hard-hitting shoulder blocking teams.
- 56" Wide Pad Spacing: Extra-wide spacing gives players a realistic blocking target and promotes proper technique.
- Modular Chassis Design: Easily convert a 5 Man Sled into a 2 Man and 3 Man Sled - no tools needed for reconfiguration.
- Adjustable Pad Height: Each chassis features adjustable pad height to accommodate players of different sizes and positions.
- Run-Through Frame: Low connector link close to the ground allows for a full range of blocking and drive drills.
- E2 Enduro Pad: Features hand slots for a tight hand fit, keeping players precise in their hand strikes and preventing wide hand placement.
- Grass and Turf Compatible: Designed to perform on both natural grass and artificial turf surfaces.
- Powder-Coated Black Chassis: Durable powder-coat finish resists corrosion and stands up to daily outdoor use.
- Optional Wheel Kit Available: Roll your sled off the field for game days or events - no tools required, jacks stay mounted to the chassis.
- 5 Pad Color Options: Available in Black, Navy, Royal, Red, and Green to match your team's colors.
Pad Options & Which to Choose
- E2 Enduro Pad: The E2 pad features the same ideal shoulder-forearm fit as the E1, plus additional hand slots for a tight hand fit. Players are guided into precise hand placement and can't get wide on the pad - perfect for coaches who prioritize disciplined hand technique and tight, controlled strikes.
- Z2 Pad: The Z2 pad offers an alternative pad design for programs looking for a different blocking surface feel or fit. Best suited for teams that want variety in their blocking drills or prefer the Z2's contact profile for their offensive linemen.

FAQ
What is the difference between the E2 and Z2 pad?
The E2 pad builds on the E1's shoulder-forearm fit by adding hand slots that create a tight hand fit, keeping players from getting wide and promoting precise hand strikes. The Z2 pad offers a different contact profile and is a great choice for programs that want variety in their blocking drills or prefer a different feel at the point of contact.
Can this sled be used on artificial turf?
Yes - the Rae Crowther Classic Sled is designed for use on both natural grass and artificial turf surfaces, making it a versatile choice for any program.
Is the sled modular - can I change its configuration?
Absolutely. The Classic Sled chassis is fully modular. A 5 Man Sled can be split into a 2 Man and 3 Man Sled, giving your staff the flexibility to run a wider variety of drills with the same equipment.
What is the Optional Wheel Kit and do I need it?
The Optional Wheel Kit allows you to roll the sled off the field for game days or special events. The wheels and jacks mount directly to the chassis, no tools are required, and they stay on the sled without affecting its performance during practice. It's especially useful for programs that share a turf field.
How does this sled ship and will it arrive assembled?
Due to its size and weight, the Classic Sled ships via freight. Please email us at service@omahasportsandgames.com for a delivery ETA and to confirm shipping details for your location. Contact us for information about assembly requirements.
Can I order the sled in my school's colors?
Yes - pads are available in Black, Navy, Royal, Red, and Green. Select your preferred color when ordering to match your team's identity.
