Built around a single pontoon design and the signature S-Pad, this sled replicates the angles of a real opponent - head, torso, waist, and knees - so athletes can train with purpose and accuracy. The S-Pad system allows tacklers to practice eliminating space to the ball carrier, ear to ear, developing the muscle memory needed for game-speed performance.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Unlike traditional sleds, the single pontoon base eliminates the risk of a player landing on the sled's frame, keeping training sessions safer and more effective. The sled design actively encourages players to run their feet through contact, reinforcing the fundamentals coaches demand at every level. Powder-coated for durability and available in Black, Royal, and Red, the Junior S Tackler is a trusted tool for youth football programs serious about developing true tacklers.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS-Pad Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Represents a full player form - head, torso, waist, and knees - training tacklers to attack proper contact points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle Pontoon Base:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eliminates the hazard of a player landing on the base of the sled, reducing injury risk during full-speed drills.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProper Hitting Position Training:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sled geometry promotes correct pad level and body positioning on every rep.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEar-to-Ear Technique:\u003c\/strong\u003e S-Pad allows players to practice eliminating space to the ball carrier, reinforcing sound tackling fundamentals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoot Drive Mechanics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sled design encourages tacklers to run their feet through contact, building explosive lower-body power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafe Full-Speed Reps:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enhances full-speed tackling without risk of injuring a live ball carrier - perfect for daily practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight - 91 lbs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Substantial enough to resist impact while remaining manageable for youth program setups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowder-Coated Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black powder-coat protects the steel frame from weather and heavy-use wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable in 3 Pad Colors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose Black, Royal, or Red to match your team's colors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel 1SJR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built specifically for junior-level players in the Rae Crowther tackling sled lineup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShips free!

The single pontoon design reflects Rae Crowther's commitment to player safety without sacrificing the intensity of live-contact feel. Powder-coated steel construction means this sled is built to handle the daily grind of practice season after season. If you're running a program that takes player development seriously, the Junior S Tackler is a cornerstone piece of your training setup.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1SJR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e91 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrame Finish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowder-coated black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBase Design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle pontoon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePad Colors Available\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack, Royal, Red\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePad Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJunior S-Pad (head, torso, waist, knees)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembly Required\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContact us to confirm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShipping Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContact us for freight\/delivery details\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat age or size player is the Junior S Tackler designed for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe Junior S Tackler (Model 1SJR) is designed specifically for youth and junior-level football players.
