Description
Landing Mat — Impact-Absorbing Surface for Safe Tackling, Jump Training & Controlled Contact Work
The Landing Mat is a thick, shock-absorbing training surface designed to provide athletes with a safe and forgiving area for tackling drills, dive/roll techniques, jump training, and controlled fall-to-ground movements. Built with high-density foam and a durable non-slip cover, the mat helps programs teach proper technique while dramatically reducing force on the body during high-impact repetitions. Coaches often place mats at the end of tackling or diving progressions to give athletes a dependable and secure landing zone.
Landing Mats are used to:
-
Teach tackling form that ends with a controlled, safe landing
-
Practice dive techniques for receivers, defensive backs, and special teams units
-
Train rolling, falling, or recovery mechanics without hard-ground impact
-
Improve jump drills, plyometric landings, and safe deceleration work
-
Support youth and introductory players learning contact fundamentals
-
Add a cushioned surface for breakfall, tumble, and body-control drills
Importance for Player Safety
Landing Mats play a major role in reducing injury risk during contact or airborne training:
-
Absorb impact energy, significantly lowering stress on shoulders, hips, elbows, and knees
-
Promote proper fall/landing technique, helping prevent bad habits that can cause injury
-
Enable high-rep tackling progressions without increasing collision wear on athletes
-
Reduce ground-impact injuries, which are common when players practice dives or form tackles on hard surfaces
-
Support controlled contact development, especially for new players or youth programs
The mat allows players to focus on technique—rather than bracing for hard landings.
Example Drills for Landing Mat
- Form Tackle-to-Land Drill – Athletes execute a controlled shoulder-leverage tackle and finish by landing softly on the mat instead of the ground.
- Diving Catch Drill – Receivers practice extended catches, landing safely on the padded surface while working on ball security.
- DB Break & Roll Drill – Defensive backs break on the ball, make the “interception,” and complete the drill with a safe roll or fall on the mat.
- Special Teams Dive Recovery – Players practice diving onto loose balls or landing after blocked-kick attempts using the cushioned landing area.
- Plyometric Landing Mechanics –Athletes jump from a platform or hurdle and land on the mat to reinforce proper knee, hip, and ankle alignment.
Landing Mats are key equipment products together with Step Over Bags and Pop Up Dummies in every team set.
