Rae Crowther Junior Jax Tackler Football Tackling Sled
Description
The Junior Jax Tackler is a revolutionary football tackling sled built specifically for youth players ages 8-13. With four independently self-uprighting "dummies," this sled resets itself instantly after every rep, so your players never have to stop and reset the equipment between tackles. As one dummy is being hit, the Jax simultaneously uprights another, allowing coaches to run high-volume, fast-paced tackling drills with minimal downtime.
Designed for square, angle, profile, and chase tackling drills, the Junior Jax builds proper technique through repetition while keeping contact light enough to protect developing athletes. Thick foam padding with durable vinyl coverings cushions shoulder contact, while the heavy steel base holds firm under player weight without bending. Whether you're running a youth league program, middle school practice, or football camp, the Junior Jax Tackler is built to handle the demand.

FAQ
What age group is the Junior Jax Tackler designed for?
The Junior Jax Tackler is specifically designed for youth players ages 8-13. Its 40" height and 59 lb weight are sized appropriately for younger athletes. For older or varsity-level players, Rae Crowther offers the Varsity Jax Tackler.
How does the self-uprighting system work?
As a player tackles one of the four dummies, the Jax sled's mechanism simultaneously uprights another dummy for the next rep. This hands-free design means players can cycle through hundreds of tackle reps without anyone stopping to reset the equipment - keeping practice moving and maximizing reps per session.
What types of tackling drills can I run with the Junior Jax?
The Junior Jax supports four main drill types: square tackling, angle tackling, profile tackling, and chase tackling. The four-dummy layout and multi-angle approach allow coaches to simulate real game scenarios and build well-rounded technique in young athletes.
Can the Junior Jax Tackler be disassembled for storage or transport?
Yes. The foam pads can be easily removed, and the metal base can be disassembled. This makes the Junior Jax much easier to store in a equipment room or transport to another facility or away field.
Does this ship to a residential address?
Yes - the Junior Jax Tackler weighs 59 lbs and can ship via UPS Ground directly to a residential address. No freight or commercial delivery is required. Contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com for a delivery ETA.
Is the Junior Jax Tackler safe for young players?
The Junior Jax is designed to allow light-impact repetition - hundreds of reps with reduced contact force compared to traditional sleds. The thick foam padding and vinyl coverings protect shoulders during contact, and the sled's design encourages proper tackling form, which is one of the best injury-prevention tools in youth football.
