ESCAPE SLED - The Escape Sled offers distinct training advantages for Defensive players. There is no other sled that offers the defender so many tools.

INNOVATIVE ESCAPE PADS

The Escape pads are the only pads in the market that allow a defender to work against a double team block.  The large wing pad(s), acting like a secondary blocker, allow the defender to work their elbow down, minimize the secondary defender’s hands, while the front of the pad and opposite wing pad act as the primary blocker. The Escape pads can also emulate an offensive player “holding” their opponents.  The Escape pads force the defensive players to strike with “inside hands” as the pads encapsulate their arms.  The large “wing pads” keep the players trapped or hemmed in, and then they must fight to “escape” the pads (i.e., hold).  There is a “Chest Plate” built into the pads for the players to grab handles or gain control. Also, the unique pad plate and coil spring attachment allows the pad plate to flex in all directions, right left, up, or down, so the defender can attack the pad and still get their head into the gap.
