The Kaboom Pop Up Safety Tackler Sled was created to help prevent avoidable concussions and all other helmet-related injuries during practice. The Kaboom is truly a teaching tool. The goal is to keep the helmet and particularly the crown of the helmet, out of collisions. On the front of the pad is the text STRIKE PLATE (sewn from shoulder tip to shoulder tip). This is where the tackler is to make contact. The player dips (we suggest you purchase the Bump Stick and use it as a portable limbo Stick) and rips through the pad and tackles the sled. Head-Up and Chest Up (those words are sewn onto the front of the pad). Thus, with each tackle players are reminded where and how they are to make contact. When the sled is tackled to the ground it uprights quickly, without any help, and is ready for the next tackler. The Pop-Up Kaboom Safety Tackler Sled is ideal for all levels, but especially for JV and middle school players. The sled has no metal spring inside and is built to be lighter than a standard tackling sled (sled weighs 70 lbs.) to take the fear out of tackling and to stress technique. It is also a great Pre Game Sled. Both home and away. Because its light it can travel fairly easily, and its a great sled to get loose on, to warm up with. The Kaboom has other uses, such as with Running Backs and Wide Outs to enhance ball security during contact, stiff arm techniques, and for younger O and D linemen from stance to fit, contact, drive, and shed. Teach your players to play with their minds and not their heads. The entire pad is removable for storage.
