Jambo Athletic Blocking Sled — High-Performance Training System for Power, Technique & Line Dominance

The Jambo Athletic Blocking Sled is a premium training system engineered to develop explosive power, refined blocking technique, and coordinated unit movement for offensive and defensive linemen. Built with a heavy-duty steel frame and high-resilience impact pads, this sled delivers a realistic resistance experience that helps athletes build strength, drive, and discipline required for trench play. Coaches rely on blocking sleds to create live-action physicality without player-to-player collisions, allowing high-rep trench work with consistent technique.
The Jambo Athletic Blocking Sled is used to:
-
Train proper blocking mechanics, including pad level, hand placement, and hip drive
-
Build lower-body explosion and sustained power through resistance movement
-
Teach linemen to work together as a unified unit in multi-pad sled formations
-
Improve strike timing, leverage control, and finish through contact
-
Simulate realistic on-field resistance to reinforce functional strength
Our sleds are easy to assemble and dismantle using only a few screws and it comes with an easy to understand manual. Jambo Blocking Sled ensures lasting durability of the product and enables mastering skills by both offensive and defensive line formations (MOB/LEV). The adjustment between two options can be made by pulling a simple lever.
Jambo Blocking Sled is also designed for combining several units together into larger chains of 2, 3, 4, 5-man-sleds. The units can just as easily be disconnected again to form individual units. Extra single sled skids available on customer request. No other sled is as versatile and diversely useful as ours.

Importance for Player Safety
Blocking sled training strengthens athletes while reducing injury exposure:
-
Minimizes direct human collisions, lowering the risk of head, shoulder, and neck injuries
-
Promotes safer fundamentals, teaching players to strike with proper leverage and body alignment
-
Reduces wear and tear by replacing repeated full-contact reps with controlled resistance work
-
Builds strength and stability, supporting joints and muscles that help prevent injury during real gameplay
-
Encourages consistent pad level, reducing dangerous high-contact tendencies
The sled provides predictable resistance, making it an ideal training alternative when limiting live-contact periods.
Example Drills with Blocking Sled
- Drive Block Progression – Players strike the pad and drive the sled forward with powerful, short steps to build hip explosion and finishing strength.
- Double-Team Combo Drill – Two linemen coordinate hand placement, strike timing, and drive angles while moving the sled as a unit.
- Fit, Strike & Reset Drill – Athletes fit into position, deliver a clean strike, drive for a few steps, then reset for rapid technique repetition.
- Pull & Kick-Out Simulation – One lineman pulls while another engages the sled, allowing players to work on timing and contact angles in run schemes.
- Pass Protection Strike Drill – Lineman strike the pad with controlled hands, focusing on balance, extension, and maintaining a strong base.
