Rogers Athletic LEV Sled - Football Blocking Sled with Patented Lev Action
Rogers Athletic LEV Sled - Football Blocking Sled with Patented Lev Action
Description
The Rogers Athletic LEV Sled is a premier football blocking sled engineered to teach and reinforce proper leverage technique at every level of play. Designed for both offensive and defensive drills, this heavy-duty sled challenges players to reverse their opponent's momentum, explode through the pad, and finish with proper hip roll - all within a single rep. The patented Lev Action release mechanism only triggers after five inches of pad compression, so players can't cheat their way through a rep.
Built with a modular link system and available in configurations from 1 to 7 stations, the LEV Sled scales to any program's needs - from individual skill work to full line drills. The sled's ram-based resistance delivers a more realistic feel than leaf spring designs, while the lockable LEV head lets coaches switch between leverage blocking and drive blocking without changing equipment. Available in multiple pad options and team colors, the LEV Sled is a staple on sidelines and practice fields across the country.
Key Features
- Patented LEV Action: Release mechanism activates only after five inches of pad compression - trains proper drive technique and prevents players from cheating the rep.
- Lockable LEV Head: LEV head assembly locks in the down position for drive blocking drills, allowing both leverage and drive blocking practice with a single sled.
- Ram Resistance: Ram-based resistance provides a more realistic and consistent push than traditional leaf spring designs.
- One-Piece Urethane Foam Pad Core: Molded urethane foam core reinforced by nylon-mesh with a strong inner steel frame for long-lasting durability.
- 18 oz. Vinyl-Coated Nylon Cover: Tough cover with defined target areas stands up to heavy daily use on any field surface.
- Single-Pin Pad Attachment: Pad attaches with a single pin that won't rise or twist on impact - pads swap out quickly for different drills.
- Modular Link System: Sled links are modular, allowing you to convert or expand configurations, add drill stations, and run players safely between pads.
- Nylon Liner: Reduces metal-on-metal wear to extend the operational life of the sled.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Engineered to eliminate the need for added ballast weight - sled stays planted under full contact loads.
- Multiple Pad Options: Choose from Mini T-Pad, Elite Body Pad, Versatile Multi-Gap Pad, Shock Pad (Hands), or Surge Pad (Hands) to match your drill objectives.
Pad Options & Which to Choose
- Mini T-Pad: A compact T-shaped pad ideal for teaching hand placement and targeting a specific contact zone. Best for linemen working on precise strike technique.
- Elite Body Pad: A full-body blocking surface that simulates contact with a defender's torso. The go-to choice for offensive and defensive line blocking fundamentals.
- Versatile Multi-Gap Pad: Designed with multiple gap configurations to train a variety of blocking angles and alignments in a single session. Great for coaches who run diverse schemes.
- Shock Pad (Hands): A hands-focused pad that trains hand fighting, punch technique, and initial strike mechanics. Ideal for players developing hand combat skills.
- Surge Pad (Hands): A hands pad with added surface area engineered for surge-style blocking drills that emphasize drive and extension through the point of attack.

Why You'll Love It

Manuals & Guides
FAQ
What is the difference between the LEV Sled and a standard blocking sled?
The LEV Sled features a patented Lev Action release mechanism that only allows the pad to release after five inches of compression. This means players must drive with proper technique before the pad gives - eliminating the ability to cheat reps. Standard blocking sleds provide resistance but don't enforce this leverage principle, making the LEV Sled a more effective teaching tool for proper blocking fundamentals.
Can I run both leverage blocking and drive blocking drills on the same sled?
Yes. The LEV head assembly locks in the down position, converting the sled into a pure drive blocking sled. Unlock it and the patented Lev Action is active for leverage blocking drills. This dual-mode functionality means you can run both drill types in a single practice without any equipment changes.
How do I choose the right pad option?
It depends on your primary drill objectives. The Elite Body Pad is the most versatile for general line play. The Mini T-Pad is best for precise hand placement and targeting work. The Versatile Multi-Gap Pad is great for coaches running multiple blocking schemes. The Shock Pad and Surge Pad (Hands) are designed specifically for hand fighting and punch technique development. You can also change pads quickly using the single-pin attachment system, so many programs keep multiple pad types on hand.
Can I add more stations to my existing LEV Sled later?
Yes. The LEV Sled uses a modular link system, which means you can add LEV Sled Add-On Units to your existing sled to increase the number of stations. You can also reconfigure the sled into smaller setups. This makes the LEV Sled a scalable investment that grows alongside your program.
How is the LEV Sled shipped?
Due to its significant weight (the 1-Man unit weighs 324 lbs., with larger configurations exceeding 1,800 lbs.), the LEV Sled ships via freight on a pallet. Please contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com before purchasing if you'd like a shipping quote or to confirm delivery details for your facility.
Is customization available on the LEV Sled?
Yes. The LEV Sled is available in a range of team colors including Red, Black, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Green, Purple, and Navy. Additional custom options beyond what is listed are available - contact Rogers Athletic or reach out to us directly for a custom quote.
