VARSITY S ADVANTAGE SLEDS

 S-ADVANTAGE SLEDS

• Control the trenches and impose your team’s will. Play with leverage. The S-Advantage Sleds are built and designed for virtually every position. S-Pads accurately represent the contact position. You can practice and improve all of your blocking techniques. The sled works for hands, punch, forearm, shoulder, rip, and swim.  Work traps, pulls, down blocks, or virtually any combination on the S-Advantage Sled. No other sled has this many options. An S-Advantage sled is like four sleds in one.

• Players can run through the frame of the sled. This is possible because there’s only one connector link between each pad, and the link is just above the ground. The sled also provides wide 56″ center-to center pad spacing.

• Because the S-Pads extend close to the ground, you can work crab blocks and goal line situations (no need for a separate “low boy” sled). Each pad is removable for storage. To remove, you unzip the pad and unlock the Velcro straps.

• We believe in heavy steel construction. To maintain a power base, your players need a heavy sled that resists. Each person is in essence driving 240 lbs.

• Work pass pro drills or defensive techniques on the S-Pads. The curved S-Pads will force players to bend their knees and ankles, and lower their hips.

• The Hit-Tech Leverage Mechanism allows each player to leverage their pad from a starting position to an upright position, where the chest of the pad is nearly perpendicular to the ground. The pad leverages (rises) on a realistic angle. The Hit-Tech helps teach violent hands or shoulder skills. As you leverage the pad, it becomes more difficult to raise, and you encounter more resistance than just the weight of the pad. The force required to leverage the pad is 189 lbs. per inch (plus the 90 lb. weight of the pad plate). This encourages players to bring their hips through their blocks. The pad doesn’t superficially unlock at a certain point and become lighter.

• Three pad options:  S1, S2, S3:

• The S1 pad (standard pad) S-Pad has a head, torso, waist, and knees, representing the angles of a player.
• The S2 pad has built into the surface of the pad a breast plate with enough “give” to allow players to gain a “handle.” The S2 pad also includes arms (stubby short arms) that mirror the difficulty of hand placement.
• The S3 pads have narrow hand pockets to increase player accuracy and power. Ideal for most applications.  You would not want this pad if you want to teach tackling or angle blocking on the sled, otherwise probably your best choice.
