Rogers Athletic TEK Sled - Football Blocking Sled
Description
The Rogers Athletic TEK Sled is a next-generation football blocking sled engineered to simulate the realistic movement and resistance of a live blocker. As today's game demands bigger, stronger, and faster athletes, defenders need training tools that replicate the physicality of a real offensive player - and that's exactly what the TEK Sled delivers. Designed for defensive players working on shocking blockers, creating leverage, and violently separating from offensive linemen, this sled brings unmatched realism to your practice sessions. The TEK Sled's lateral movement capability and coil-over shock system mimic the feel of engaging a true zone-blocking opponent, making every rep more game-relevant than a traditional sled.
Available in 1- through 7-man configurations, the TEK Sled scales to fit programs of any size - from a focused individual linebacker drill to a full defensive line session. Built by Rogers Athletic with durable, field-tested construction, the TEK Sled is trusted by programs at every level to build the physical toughness and technique that wins at the line of scrimmage.

FAQ
What makes the TEK Sled different from a traditional blocking sled?
The TEK Sled is specifically designed for defensive players and simulates the realistic movement and resistance of a live offensive blocker - something traditional sleds cannot do. Its coil-over shock and recoil mechanism provide life-like push-back with soft initial contact that increases resistance as players drive into the pad. The lateral movement capability and six-foot-wide splits add another layer of realism that standard sleds don't offer.
Can I add stations to my TEK Sled later?
Yes. The TEK Sled is designed with a modular link system, so you can purchase a smaller configuration now and add additional stations as your program grows. You can also convert a 7-man sled into a 5-man and 2-man sled, giving you flexibility in how you run your drill periods.
Is the TEK Sled safe for artificial turf?
Yes. The TEK Sled features turned-up flat runners that are specifically designed to be safe for use on both natural grass and artificial turf surfaces, so you can use it on any practice facility.
What pad colors are available?
The TEK Sled is available in Red, Black, and Blue through standard ordering. If you need a different pad color to match your team colors, you can contact Rogers Athletic or reach out to us directly for custom color options.
How does the Drill Cartridge System work?
The exclusive quick-change Drill Cartridge System allows coaches to swap out cartridges to train an unlimited variety of drills without needing multiple pieces of equipment. It's a flexible system that essentially gives you multiple sleds in one, adapting to whatever your defensive scheme demands.
How is the TEK Sled shipped and does it require assembly?
