Trigon Sports Football Dummies: Built for the Grind, Trusted by the Best
At Trigon Sports, we know the difference between just showing up to practice and putting in real work. Since 2007, we've been supplying top-tier football equipment to programs that take training seriously—from Friday night lights to the college gridiron. Our football dummies are no exception. Whether you’re repping footwork drills or refining full-contact technique, we offer a lineup of durable, high-performance tackle dummies built to take a hit and bounce back, again and again.
We’ve got the football tackle dummy for every kind of grind: stand-up dummies for blocking and wrapping up, half-rounds for multi-angle agility work, step-overs to sharpen feet, and more. Designed for daily reps and real results, these football dummies are trusted by programs that know the value of tough practice gear that holds up all season long.
Which Dummy for Which Drill? Here’s the Playbook
Trigon Sports offers a full roster of football dummies to help you get the most out of every session—from warm-up walkthroughs to full-contact scrimmage prep. Each tackling dummy for your football program should serve a purpose, and we’ve got one for every rep.
Stand-Up Dummies
When you’re drilling block destruction, form tackling, or edge pursuit, nothing beats a dependable upright. Our football standup dummy gives players a realistic target to square up, wrap, and drive through. It’s a must-have for contact prep and safe tackling progressions.
Half-Round Dummies
Need a pad that works for both agility and blocking drills? Go with a half-round. These low-profile dummies stay stable on the ground or against a sled. Whether you prefer the red or the black half-round football dummy, you’ll get a multi-use tool that can handle everything from step-overs to line drive drills.
Step-Over Dummies
These low-profile tackle dummies are great for agility lanes, conditioning work, and defensive pursuit drills. Use them to break bad habits and reinforce body control. The step-over football dummy is lightweight but tough, ready to take a cleat and stay in the fight.
Blocking Shields & Contact Gear
Whether you're running blocking drills at half-speed or working punch-and-release technique, the right shield makes all the difference. Our man shield helps simulate an opponent on the move, while the curved shield arm dummy is ideal for angle blocks and hand placement.
For close-contact work and line-specific training, add a set of forearm pads to your equipment list.
Built Tough, Season After Season
You don’t cut corners during practice, and neither do we. Trigon Sports football dummies are for programs that run hard, hit harder, and need gear that can go the distance. From the stitching to the foam density, every detail stands up to the kind of punishment that only football can deliver.
Each football tackling dummy we make uses high-impact foam wrapped in heavy-duty vinyl because we know it’s not just about durability; it’s about safety, too. Reinforced handles, double-stitched seams, and smart shape designs make our tackle dummies easy to handle, store, and reuse, practice after practice.
And it doesn’t stop at dummies. We offer a full line of football training equipment and football practice equipment designed to keep your team game-ready all season long. From lineman drills to agility circuits, Trigon delivers the gear you need to turn sweat into skill.

If you'd like to learn more about our football dummies available at Trigon Sports, please check out our helpful FAQs below!
What is a football dummy, and how is it used in training?
A football dummy—also called a tackling dummy or blocking dummy—is a padded training tool used to simulate contact during practice. It allows players to safely practice tackling form, blocking technique, and agility drills without the risk of injury from player-to-player collisions. From youth programs to high-level teams, coaches rely on dummies to build skill and confidence. Explore our full lineup of football dummies here.
How much do football dummies weigh?
That depends on the type. Stand-up tackling dummies typically weigh between 45–65 pounds, providing enough resistance to simulate a real opponent. Lighter dummies like step-overs or half-rounds range from 10–25 pounds—easy to move, ideal for footwork and agility work. Need specifics? Product pages have weight details, or you can reach out to our team for help.
What size football dummy do I need for youth vs. high school players?
Younger athletes and youth football teams benefit from lighter, shorter dummies that are easier to handle and safer for developing players. High school and collegiate athletes often use larger, heavier dummies to better simulate real-game contact. See our selection of youth football dummies and consult our team for personalized recommendations.
Do you offer football dummies with arms or pop-up features?
Yes—we offer a range of football dummy styles to match your practice needs. Our curved shield arm dummy features padded arms to train realistic hand placement and blocking technique. While we don't currently stock spring-loaded pop-up dummies, our stand-up models are built tough for repeated tackling drills.
How do I choose the best football dummy for my team?
Consider your team's age, skill level, and training goals when choosing a football dummy. For tackling fundamentals, a stand-up dummy is ideal; for footwork and agility, select a half-round or step-over dummy. Coaches looking to improve blocking technique should consider a blocking dummy. Our football lineman training equipment guide can help you make an informed decision.
