Rogers Athletic 16-Arm PowerBlast Football Blocking Dummy Sled
Description
The Rogers Athletic 16-Arm PowerBlast is a premier football training sled designed to develop fundamental blocking and running back skills at the highest level. Athletes learn to keep their feet apart, head up, eyes open, and shoulders low - the foundation of effective blocking technique. Running backs can use it to work on pumping the legs, covering the ball, and making that critical second effort through contact.
What sets the PowerBlast apart is its fully adjustable air-filled arm system, which delivers a more realistic and variable resistance than traditional spring-loaded sleds. Each of the 16 arms can be individually tuned for angle, height, and air pressure, ensuring no two reps feel exactly the same - just like live contact. Built by Rogers Athletic in the USA, this sled is engineered for programs that demand elite-level training equipment day in and day out.
Key Features
- 16 Air-Filled Arms: More arms than standard sleds for wider, more realistic blocking and running lanes across the full unit.
- Adjustable Arm Angle: Set each arm at a random angle to simulate lifelike, unpredictable resistance during drills.
- Adjustable Air Pressure: Unlike spring-loaded arms, each arm's resistance can be adjusted independently for varied, realistic practice reps.
- Adjustable Arm Height: Raise or lower arms to accommodate players of different sizes - from youth to collegiate programs.
- Adjustable Arm Splits: Widen or narrow the spacing between arms to increase or decrease the drill difficulty.
- Removable Arms (No Tools Required): Arms remove easily for post-practice storage or off-season storage without any tools needed.
- Multiple Configurations Available: Choose the base unit, add a Powerline Sled for full-team drills, add a Hanging Dummy for tackle work, or get both accessories together.
- Customization Available: Color and custom branding options are available - contact for details.
- Made in the USA: Built by Rogers Athletic using heavy-duty steel construction for long-term durability at the program level.
- Weight (Base Unit): 657 lbs. - built for stability and resistance even under aggressive contact.
Configurations & Which to Choose
- Base Unit: The 16-Arm PowerBlast on its own - ideal for programs focused on blocking technique, footwork, and running back development. The complete standalone training experience for linemen and backs alike.

Manuals & Guides
FAQ
What is the difference between the base PowerBlast and the versions with the Powerline Sled or Hanging Dummy?
The base 16-Arm PowerBlast is a standalone blocking and running back drill station. The Powerline Sled add-on attaches a 2-man push sled so additional players can run conditioning and blocking drills simultaneously. The Hanging Dummy version adds a tackle bag for defensive training drills. The version with both accessories gives programs the most versatility in a single unit - ideal for programs with large rosters and limited practice space.
How do the air-filled arms differ from spring-loaded arms on other sleds?
Spring-loaded arms provide a fixed, predictable resistance that doesn't closely mimic live contact. The PowerBlast's air-filled arms can be individually adjusted for pressure, angle, and height, creating variable and unpredictable resistance that better simulates real defenders. This makes for more effective, game-realistic reps during practice.
Can the arms be removed for storage?
Yes - all 16 arms can be removed without any tools, making post-practice cleanup and off-season storage straightforward. This is a major advantage for programs that share field space or need to move equipment regularly.
How is the PowerBlast shipped and does it require assembly?
Due to its size and weight (657 lbs. for the base unit, up to 1,010 lbs. for the full configuration), the PowerBlast ships via freight on a pallet. Some assembly is required. Contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com before purchasing if you'd like a shipping quote or delivery ETA for your location.
Can I customize the color of the PowerBlast?
Yes - customization is available on color options including Red, Blue, and Black. Additional custom color and branding options may be available - contact us for more details or to request a quote.
Is the PowerBlast suitable for high school programs, or is it more of a college-level product?
The PowerBlast is built for any competitive program that takes player development seriously. High school, collegiate, and professional programs all use Rogers Athletic equipment. The adjustable arm height makes it suitable for players of varying sizes, so it works well across age groups and skill levels.
