Recommended Football Equipment

This is a curated list of the equipment that we use at practices.  Sometimes it is hard to find good quality equipment just searching the web.  This is all gear and equipment our teams have personally used, and we think they will help your team at practices.  ​​

This training aid places two spherical balls in each palm, forcing athletes to catch the football using their fingertips instead of their palms. By reinforcing proper hand positioning, players develop muscle memory that leads to softer hands, improved ball control, and fewer drops or bobbles during games.

Catching with the palm often causes the ball to bounce away on contact. Training the fingertips allows athletes to secure the ball more quickly and with greater stability. With consistent use, players improve their reliability as receivers and ball carriers.

This durable football throwing net is designed to improve passing accuracy during individual or team training sessions. Built with a sturdy metal frame, it provides long-lasting performance for daily practice.

The net features five target pockets in three sizes (Large, Medium, and Small), allowing players at any skill level to progressively develop accuracy, mechanics, and consistency.

Key Features:

  • Sturdy metal frame construction for durability

  • Five target pockets for accuracy training

  • Large, Medium, and Small target zones

  • Designed for repeated practice use

  • Backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty from Zonlolo

These Tackling Pads are designed for Rugby tackling.  They're extremely well-constructed.  We started using these in the 2025 season and saw a big improvement in our physicality.  The unique design forces players to tackle low.

Having a detailed practice plan is important, but if you don't stay on time it's worthless.  This timer is very easy to set up for different practice periods and has really easy to use functions.  Very easy to program practice periods with your phone or ipad through an easy to use app.

XbotGo Chameleon AI Action Camera is really cool. I’ve been using it to record football and basketball games, and the tracking feature works perfectly — it automatically follows the action with amazing accuracy. The 4K 60FPS video quality is crystal clear, and even in fast movements, the footage stays smooth and sharp.

 We load up this utility wagon for practices.   It has a nice double-decker design that holds everything they need for practices and sports events. The wagon is easy to set up and fold, rolls smoothly on various terrains, and features large wheels that make it easy to pull through grass and gravel.

We use this QB timer for a lot of our drills.  We also use it to time our backs through the hole.  This is game changer when trying to get backs to be full speed.
