A football blocking dummy is a great option for high school, collegiate, and professional football teams. It may also be used for other contact sports. A dummy often has a vinyl or leather cover and is filled with high-density foam. Each dummy is designed to help coaches teach athletes how to handle different types of contact. It may come with reinforced straps and heavy-duty handles. A dummy will absorb kicks and hits, and as such, maintain its appearance over time. Football blocking dummies are available in different sizes and styles. Dummies enable a holder to maintain control during contact drills. They are lightweight and simple to maneuver in any direction. Dummies are usually easy to transport.
