Rae Crowther Ground Battle Chute with Wheels
Description
The Rae Crowther Ground Battle Chute is the gold standard in football blocking training equipment, built to let your coaching staff run more drills with more athletes in less time. Designed for drive blocks, angle blocks, double teams, pull blocks, hook blocks, trap blocks, cross blocks, and more, this chute gives your linemen and skill players a versatile platform to master every blocking technique in the playbook. The large footprint of each model means multiple drills and positions can run simultaneously, maximizing practice efficiency. Every Ground Battle Chute is engineered with a combination of heavy-duty metal square tubing and mesh netting, keeping the frame strong while saving weight and protecting players and helmets alike.
Angled legs expand usable space under the chute and allow players to exit from every angle, including through the legs, so drills flow naturally and safely. Height is adjustable across seven positions, and the frame angle can also be tuned to match your drill requirements. Foam-filled wheels come standard on every unit - no pneumatics means no flats, ever. Built for the demands of daily practice at the high school, college, and professional level, these chutes are a long-term investment in your program's development.
Key Features
- Multiple Drill Capability: Run drive blocks, angle blocks, double teams, pull blocks, hook blocks, trap blocks, cross blocks, and more - all from one piece of equipment.
- Three Size Models: Available in 27' x 6', 27' x 12', and 36' x 6' to match your practice space and roster size.
- 27' x 12' Width: Wide enough for two opposing rows of players to work drills simultaneously in different directions.
- Adjustable Height: Seven height settings ranging from approximately 45" to 63" to suit different player sizes and drill angles.
- Adjustable Frame Angle: Frame angle can be set to various degrees for position-specific training.
- Angled Legs: Legs angle outward rather than going straight down, increasing workable space under the chute and allowing exit from any angle including through the legs.
- Eight Foam-Filled Wheels: Every chute ships with eight standard foam-filled (non-pneumatic) wheels - they will never go flat.
- Optional Caster Wheels: Available for teams that need to maneuver through narrow openings or tight storage spaces.
- Metal Square Tubing and Mesh Netting Frame: Combination construction saves weight, improves safety when players rise up, and reduces scratched helmets.
- Powder Coated Black Frame: Durable black powder coat finish with black netting resists rust and wear from daily outdoor use.
Size Options & Which to Choose
- 27' x 6': The most space-efficient model, ideal for teams with tighter practice areas or those focusing on single-file blocking lanes. A great all-around choice for lineman fundamentals and one-on-one blocking drills at any level.
- 27' x 12': The widest model - wide enough for two opposing rows of players to work drills simultaneously in different directions. Best for programs with larger rosters that need to maximize reps and run group drills side by side.
- 36' x 6': The longest model, giving your coaching staff the most linear distance to run extended blocking sequences and combination drills. Ideal for programs that prioritize drill variety and longer drive-block progressions.

Why You'll Love It
Rae Crowther has been engineering football training equipment trusted by programs at every level for decades, and the Ground Battle Chute is one of their flagship products for good reason. It is built to handle the punishment of daily practice without flinching - the powder-coated steel frame and durable netting are designed for years of heavy use, and the foam-filled wheels mean you will never lose practice time to a flat. Coaches love the flexibility of seven height adjustments and a tunable frame angle, letting a single piece of equipment serve your entire roster from youth to college. The angled-leg design is a Crowther innovation that genuinely increases working space and makes drills run more smoothly. If you are serious about developing your offensive and defensive line, this is the equipment serious programs rely on.
FAQ
What drills can be run on the Ground Battle Chute?
The Ground Battle Chute is designed to handle a wide range of blocking drills including drive blocks, angle blocks, double teams, pull blocks, hook blocks, long and short trap blocks, and cross blocks - and that is just a starting point. Its large footprint and adjustable design make it compatible with most drill combinations for linemen and other positions.
Will the wheels go flat?
No. Every Ground Battle Chute ships with eight foam-filled wheels, not pneumatic (air-filled) tires. Because they are solid foam, they will never go flat regardless of use or storage conditions.
Can the chute height be adjusted?
Yes. The height is adjustable across seven settings: approximately 45", 48", 51", 54", 57", 60", and 63". The frame angle can also be adjusted to various degrees to accommodate different drills and player sizes.
Which size should I order?
The 27' x 6' is the most versatile and space-efficient choice for most programs. The 27' x 12' is best if you want to run two opposing rows of players simultaneously, maximizing reps in a single session. The 36' x 6' gives you the most linear drill distance and is great for extended blocking sequences. Consider your roster size, practice space, and primary drill needs when choosing.
Are optional caster wheels available?
Yes. Optional caster wheels are available for teams that need to move the chute through narrow openings such as gym doors or storage hallways. Contact us for details on adding caster wheels to your order.
