Rogers Athletic Pop-Up Tackle Sled


Description

The Rogers Athletic Pop-Up Tackle Sled is built for football programs that want to maximize reps and develop proper tackling technique at full speed. Designed to simulate a real ball carrier, this sled lets players engage, wrap up, drive, and take it all the way to the ground - just like game day. Once tackled, the sled rebounds automatically to the upright hitting position, keeping your drills moving and your athletes sharp without wasted time resetting.

At 240 pounds of on-field weight, the Pop-Up Tackle Sled stays planted without needing extra sandbags or counterweights. An automotive-type shock absorber housed within a coil spring delivers a more realistic impact response than traditional leaf-spring designs, giving your players a true feel for what it means to wrap up and finish a tackle.


Key Features

  • Auto-Rebound Design: After each tackle, the sled springs back to the upright position - no resetting required, keeping drill tempo high.
  • Automotive Shock Absorber with Coil Spring: Delivers a realistic impact feel, retaining the player's force more naturally than leaf-spring alternatives.
  • 240 lb. On-Field Weight: Heavy enough to stay stable without sandbags or extra weights during full-speed tackles.
  • Choice of Pad Style: Available with a Cylinder Pad or Wrap Up Pad to match your specific tackling drill focus.
  • Multiple Team Colors: Available in Red, Black, and Blue to match your program's colors.
  • Full-Speed Tackling Practice: Engineered to let players engage at full speed, wrap up, drive, and bring the sled to the ground for complete tackle development.
  • Maximize Reps Per Session: The quick-reset rebound mechanism allows more athletes to get more reps in less practice time.
  • Custom Color Options Available: Contact Rogers Athletic for pad colors beyond the standard offerings.
  • Part Number #410289: Rogers Athletic commercial-grade construction built for daily team use.

Pad Options & Which to Choose

  • Cylinder Pad: A rounded, cylindrical striking surface that focuses on initial engagement and drive. Ideal for working on strike-and-drive tackling fundamentals and contact initiation at full speed.
  • Wrap Up Pad: A wider pad profile designed to encourage proper arm wrap and form tackling technique. Best for programs emphasizing safe, technique-first tackling fundamentals and finishing through the tackle.

Why You'll Love It

The Rogers Athletic Pop-Up Tackle Sled is trusted by high school and collegiate football programs across the country for good reason - it's built to take a beating and keep delivering rep after rep. Rogers Athletic has been manufacturing football training equipment in the USA for decades, and that heritage shows in every weld and component on this sled. Coaches love the automatic rebound feature because it keeps practice moving, reduces coach involvement in resetting drills, and gets more quality reps into every session. The coil-spring shock absorber means players get realistic feedback on every tackle, reinforcing proper technique rather than letting them get away with bad form. Whether you're running tackling circuits for your starters or developing fundamentals with younger players, this sled is the kind of investment that pays off season after season.

Manuals & Guides


FAQ

Does the sled need sandbags or extra weights to stay stable?

No. The Pop-Up Tackle Sled weighs 240 pounds on the field, which is sufficient to keep it stable during full-speed tackles without needing any additional sandbags or counterweights.

What is the difference between the Cylinder Pad and the Wrap Up Pad?

The Cylinder Pad features a rounded striking surface best suited for contact initiation and drive tackling drills. The Wrap Up Pad has a wider profile designed to encourage proper arm wrap technique. Choose based on the tackling fundamentals you want to emphasize in practice.

How does the sled reset after being tackled to the ground?

The sled uses an automotive-type shock absorber housed within a coil spring. After a player drives it to the ground, the spring mechanism rebounds the sled back to the upright hitting position automatically, requiring no manual resetting between reps.

Can I get a pad color that isn't listed?

Yes! Rogers Athletic offers custom color options beyond the standard Red, Black, and Blue. Contact us or Rogers Athletic directly to request a quote for alternate team colors.

Is this sled appropriate for all age levels?

The Pop-Up Tackle Sled is commercial-grade equipment designed for high school, collegiate, and professional football programs. It is built for players who are ready to practice full-speed tackling and can handle the demands of the sled's weight and resistance. Always consult with your coaching staff regarding age and skill appropriateness.

Why is a coil spring better than a leaf spring for a tackle sled?

A coil spring paired with an automotive-type shock absorber retains and absorbs the player's impact more progressively and realistically than a leaf spring. This gives players more authentic feedback on each tackle, helping reinforce proper technique and conditioning the body for real game contact.
