HX Series Middle School Sled - The new middle school sled features the same heavy-duty construction of our varsity sled with three-quarter sized sled pads. Sleds connect with varsity HX Series. All HX Series options fit on the middle school sled. HX Series Football Sleds - Made of medium carbon steel for toughness and durability, the HX Blocking Unit features a kipped tail to drive, and lift the whole weight of the sled. No phony spring mechanisms like the other guys. We made it to not fall apart, not rust, and not fall off. Leave the leaf springs on the hay wagon. For middle school football. Go to work at practice and keep working. The HX Series is the top of the line football sled, featuring multiple pad options and configurations to let you do what you do best: Coach Football.

- Cone Pad
- The cone pad tapers from an 18” diameter at the top down to 12” at the bottom. A great tool as it doesn’t have a simple “attack” point like some armed pads. Players learn to adjust automatically if they are attacking the dummy too high. Great for fundamental tackling drills.

- The classic cylinder pad for your sled. Still, the most universal pad in use and provides the widest range of drills. Hit it. Tackle it. Block it. Shiver it. Attack it high or low. Ideal for fundamental blocking techniques.
- Full Body
- The Full Body Pad provides a low, below the pads target and a large target area to key players on the desired location of the hit.
