ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for training football techniques comprising a movable frame for lateral movement supported by a support frame. The movable frame can be vertically adjusted within the support frame to accommodate large as well as small football players. An impact member having a padded area for reciprocal movement between a retracted and an extended position is mounted on the movable frame. The impact member reciprocates outwardly and generally toward a player. Both the movable frame and the impact member can be selectively operated either simultaneously or independently by an operator standing on a platform supported by the support frame. An operator can selectively move the movable frame laterally in either direction while selectively releasing the impact member from its retracted position for advancement toward the player. The player reacts to the movement of both the movable frame and the impact member, and contacts the extended impact member for returning the same to its retracted position for rapid, repeated contact.
