Football Blocking Dummies

Football is a game of inches, and the battle begins on the practice field with long hours of grueling training. One of the most important elements in the game is the battle in the trenches, exploding after the snap to either tackle or block the opponent. Whether you're a coach looking to elevate your team's performance or an athlete aiming to improve your skills, our range of high-quality blocking dummies is designed to meet your needs.

Blocking dummies are the best way to simulate playing safely without having two players go head-to-head.

With a dummy, players can get more contact drills in to train their footwork, hand placement, and explosiveness.

There are multiple types of blocking dummies that focus on different aspects of the game and can be deployed in different types of training and contact drills. Here, we look at some of the differences and provide some recommendations for the best blocking dummy.

Different Types of Football Blocking Dummies and How They Can Help Your Team

Don’t let the name fool you, football dummies can be used to practice both blocking and tackling.

If you’ve seen lineman train, you’ve probably seen them use the traditional sled dummy. When using a sled, the player can explode from a snap position, hit the dummy and train their footwork as they push the sled forward.

Another popular dummy is the pop-up dummy which is used to practice tackling. It’s difficult to train tackling as you cannot have your players hitting their teammates all the time due to the risk of an injury.

So, to better train tackling, you can set out a dummy that will pop back up once your player has tackled it. This pop-up feature allows you to send out players, again and again, to tackle the dummy without having to set anything back up.
