Rae Crowther JV S-Advantage Football Blocking Sled
Description
The Rae Crowther JV S-Advantage Sled is a purpose-built blocking sled designed for high school JV programs, smaller varsity teams, and squads that practice on sandy or dirt fields. Built on the same proven S-Advantage platform as the Varsity line, the JV version is lighter and more affordable while delivering the same low-stance, technique-focused training that coaches trust. The iconic S-Pad design - shaped with a head, torso, waist, and knees - naturally forces players into a low, powerful position, reinforcing the fundamental that low man wins.
Available in 2 through 7 man configurations and your choice of S1 or S3 pads, this sled adapts to virtually any drill on the field. Wide pad spacing, a run-through frame, and modular sizing let you train everything from run blocking and goal-line scenarios to pass protection, tackling fit, and finishing techniques. The pads are fully removable for easy storage between sessions.
Key Features
- S-Pad Design: Pads are contoured like a player - head, torso, waist, and knees - keeping blockers in a naturally low, leveraged position on every rep.
- 2 to 7 Man Configurations: Choose the station count that fits your roster and practice format; the modular frame lets you expand or contract sled size easily.
- S1 and S3 Pad Options: Two distinct pad types to match your coaching preference and training goals - see the Options section below for full details.
- JV-Specific Build: Sits approximately 2 inches lower than the Varsity S-Advantage and is built lighter and more affordable, ideal for developing players and smaller programs.
- No Hit Tech Mechanism: Streamlined design compared to the Varsity version - focused on fundamental technique training at a reduced cost.
- Run-Through Frame: Open frame construction enables more realistic run-through drills and better full-speed repetitions.
- Wide Pad Spacing: Promotes proper hand placement and technique across multiple blockers simultaneously.
- Multi-Drill Versatility: Supports run blocking, goal line, pass pro, tackling fit, tight hands, violent punch, wrecking ball, forearm, shoulder, rip, swim, and more.
- Removable Pads: Pads detach completely for off-season storage or replacement without taking the whole sled apart.
- 5 Color Options: Available in Black, Navy, Royal, Red, and Green to match your team colors.
- Field-Versatile Base: Designed specifically to perform on sandy, dirt, and grass field surfaces common at smaller school facilities.
Pad Options & Which to Choose
- S1 Pads: The standard S-Advantage pad - contoured to simulate a defender's full profile with a firm, responsive striking surface. Best for programs focused on foundational blocking technique, hand placement, and developing consistent leverage habits. A great all-around choice for JV and developing players.
- S3 Pads: An upgraded pad construction within the S-Advantage system, offering a different resistance feel and surface profile suited for more advanced technique work. Best for coaches who want to progress players beyond basic fundamentals and challenge them with a more demanding pad response.

FAQ
What is the difference between the JV S-Advantage and the Varsity S-Advantage Sled?
The JV S-Advantage is built lighter and at a lower price point than the Varsity version. It also sits approximately 2 inches lower to the ground and does not include the Hit Tech Mechanism found on the Varsity model. For JV programs, developing players, and teams on tighter budgets, the JV version delivers excellent technique training without the additional features of the Varsity line.
What is the difference between S1 and S3 pads?
Both S1 and S3 pads share the same contoured S-shape that simulates a defender's body profile, but they differ in their construction and resistance feel. S1 pads are the standard option and are well-suited for foundational technique development. S3 pads are designed to offer a more advanced training experience with a different pad response, making them a good step up for players progressing beyond the basics. If you're unsure, S1 is an excellent starting point for most programs.
How many players can train on the sled at once?
The JV S-Advantage is available in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 man configurations, meaning that many players can work on the sled simultaneously. The modular frame design also allows you to expand or contract the sled's size as your program's needs change.
Can this sled be used on dirt or sandy fields?
Yes - the JV S-Advantage is specifically designed with teams that practice on sandy, dirt, or less-manicured field surfaces in mind. Its base and frame construction are built to handle these conditions reliably.
Are the pads removable for storage?
Yes. The S-Pads are fully removable, making off-season storage simple and protecting the pads from unnecessary wear when the sled is not in use.
What drills can be run on the JV S-Advantage Sled?
This sled supports a wide variety of blocking and technique drills, including run blocking, goal line, pass protection, tackling fit, tight hands, violent punch, wrecking ball, forearm, shoulder, rip, and swim techniques. The run-through frame design also enables realistic full-speed drive drills.
