Together we will train players and educate coaches to play smarter, better and for longer."
Shadowman Pro tackling systems are designed for ages 14 up to professional level, while Shadowman Junior tackling systems are designed for ages 6-14. Shadowman Pro and Junior provide more game-like reps than tackling bags or pads, designed with durable and specially selected Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) in order to withstand the rigors of any level of football practice. PVC provides high tear and tensile strength for Shadowman products with elastic properties that absorb energy on impact for better feedback during a tackle and also offers a longer product life.
