Rogers Athletic MOD Sled - Football Blocking Sled with Interchangeable Pads
Description
For over 35 years, the Rogers Athletic MOD Sled has been America's favorite football training tool - trusted by coaches and programs at every level to develop elite blocking and tackling fundamentals. Built with a unique spring-action pad system, precisely engineered pad angles, and a fully modular design, it delivers the realistic resistance and feedback players need to master game-winning technique. Whether you're running drive blocks, zone blocking schemes, pass protection reps, or linebacker separation drills, the MOD Sled keeps your practice reps sharp and purposeful.
Available in 1-man through 7-man configurations and paired with eight different interchangeable pad options, the MOD Sled adapts to virtually any drill in your playbook. The modular link system lets you expand your existing sled setup over time, adding stations as your program grows. From small high school programs to major collegiate facilities, the MOD Sled is the standard by which all other blocking sleds are measured.
Key Features
35+ Years of Proven Performance: America's most trusted blocking sled, refined over decades of use at every level of football.
Unique Spring-Action Pad System: Fully encased coil spring mechanism provides realistic, game-like resistance with every rep.
One-Piece Molded Urethane Foam Pads: Foam core is reinforced by nylon-mesh with an inner steel frame for durability that lasts season after season.
18 oz. Vinyl-Coated Nylon Pad Cover: Tough outer cover features defined target areas to reinforce proper blocking technique.
Single-Pin Pad Attachment: Pad locks in with one pin that won't rise or twist on contact - swap pad options in seconds for different drills.
Welded End Caps: End caps are welded, not riveted, preventing water from entering and rusting the sled from the inside out.
Nylon Liner on Spring Mechanism: Reduces metal-on-metal wear, extending the working life of the sled significantly.
Modular Link System: Connect multiple sled units together or reconfigure them into smaller setups - ideal for converting a 7-man sled into separate drills.
Flat Runners: Safe for both natural grass and artificial turf fields.
8 Interchangeable Pad Options: Choose from Big Bruiser, T-Pad, Mini T-Pad, A-Pad, Elite Body Pad, Versatile Multi-Gap Pad, Shock Pad (Hands), and Surge Pad (Hands) to target specific skills.
Pad Options & Which to Choose
Big Bruiser: A large, wide contact surface designed for drive blocking and full-body engagement - ideal for offensive linemen working on aggressive push-off technique and generating initial movement off the line.
T-Pad: The classic T-shaped pad that presents a natural blocking target at shoulder and hand placement level - great for teaching proper hand positioning and blocking form for offensive linemen and tight ends.
Mini T-Pad: A smaller version of the T-Pad for tighter, more precise hand placement drills - suited for skill positions or players working on technical blocking refinement.
A-Pad: An angled pad surface that helps players practice blocking at a specific attack angle - effective for drive blocks and teaching players to stay low through contact.
Elite Body Pad: A larger, full-torso contact pad designed to simulate blocking a full defender's body - best for linebackers and defensive backs working on physical engagement and separation.
Versatile Multi-Gap Pad: Engineered with multiple gap configurations to simulate different defensive alignments - ideal for running gap-specific offensive line drills and combo blocks.
Shock Pad (Hands): A hand-focused resistance pad that develops hand strength, punch, and initial strike force - excellent for offensive linemen and players training hand-fighting technique.
Surge Pad (Hands): Designed for explosive hand-fire drills, the Surge Pad trains players to deliver a quick, powerful initial punch - best for players focused on pass protection and first-step quickness.

Can I add more stations to my 1-Man MOD Sled later?
Yes - that's one of the biggest advantages of the MOD Sled's modular link system. You can connect additional sled units together at any time to build out a 2-man, 3-man, or larger configuration. The low-profile link allows players to safely run drills between pads, and the system is fully compatible across the entire MOD Sled lineup.
Can I change the pad type after I purchase?
Absolutely. The MOD Sled uses a single-pin pad attachment system that makes swapping pads fast and easy. All eight pad options - Big Bruiser, T-Pad, Mini T-Pad, A-Pad, Elite Body Pad, Versatile Multi-Gap Pad, Shock Pad, and Surge Pad - are interchangeable on the same sled frame. You can purchase additional pads separately to expand your drill options.
Is the MOD Sled safe for artificial turf?
Yes. The MOD Sled features flat runners that are designed to be safe on both natural grass and artificial turf surfaces. No special modifications are needed to use it on either field type.
How does the sled get delivered?
Due to its weight of 324 lbs., the 1-Man MOD Sled ships via freight. Contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com before purchasing if you'd like a delivery quote or need to confirm shipping logistics for your facility.
What drills can I run with the MOD Sled?
The MOD Sled is incredibly versatile. On offense, use it for drive blocks, zone blocking, pass protection, combination blocks, advancing to the second level, and screen pass setups. On defense, use it to practice stance and footwork for playing the blocker, linebacker separation drills, goal-line stands, and form-tackle drills (invert the pad for tackling). The choice of pad option further customizes which specific skill is being trained.
Is the MOD Sled made in the USA?
Yes. Rogers Athletic manufactures its equipment in the USA and has done so for over 35 years. The company is headquartered in Farwell, Michigan.
