Rae Crowther Football Ground Battle Chute W/Castor Wheel Kit

Rae Crowther Football Ground Battle Chute W/Castor Wheel Kit

The 36’ x 6’, 27’ x 12’, and 27’ x 6’ are large enough to run just about any drills for any position. Think DLs, DBs, RBs, WRs, and even QBs. The 27’ x 12’ is wide enough to allow 2 opposing rows of players to work drills simultaneously in different directions.

MORE OF YOUR DRILLS IN LESS TIME:

Of course, your OLs and DLs can work all their techniques, drive blocks, angle blocks, double teams, pull blocks, hook blocks, long and short trap blocks, and cross blocks. But that’s just the beginning.

WHEELS ARE STANDARD FEATURE:

Every Crowther chute comes with 8 standard wheels. And, each wheel is foam-filled (not pneumatic); thus, it will never go flat. For teams that have to maneuver their chute through narrow openings, we also offer optional caster wheels.

KEEPING MULTIPLE PLAYERS LOW:

In general, the Ground Battle Chutes are designed to keep players low and maintain a good football position while moving. If your goal is to train as many athletes as possible, in as many varied drills as possible, and in the shortest possible time – then you have found the perfect chutes! The angled legs of the chutes allow more room. Each leg doesn’t go straight down. This, in effect, increases your workable space under the chutes. Players can exit the chutes from every angle, including through the legs.

THE FRAME ADJUSTS UP, DOWN, OR ANGLED:

You can adjust the height or angle of the chutes. The height is adjustable from approx. 63”- 60”- 57”- 54”- 51”- 48”- 45”. You can adjust the angle of the frame to various degrees.

COMBINATION METAL AND MESH NET:

Each Ground Battle Chute has a combination of metal square tubing and mesh netting for its frame. The obvious benefits are weight savings, improved safety when a player rises up, and fewer scratched helmets. This saves the player and the helmet. The not so obvious reasons are durability and adjustability. The netting has webbing sewn into it horizontally and vertically. It is very strong. When your season is complete, you unsnap the netting and bring it indoors. Simple.

CRANE CONSTRUCTION:

The problem with traditional chutes is the longer you make them, the heavier they become, and the more apt they are to bend or bow. The Ground Battle Chutes solve this problem in two ways. First, we suspend the frame from a crane platform that is strong. Then, we use a combination of metal tubing and tough outdoor mildew-resistant mesh netting for the frame.
