Hands-Free Shield®

The HANDS-FREE SHIELD® is worn not held. Frees players from having to hold the bag! Allows a free range of motion with arms and complete use of the hands. Provides a more realistic and full speed defensive reaction! Defenders can breakdown into a stance, take on blocks with their hands or drop into pass coverage!

The pad mirrors the width of the shoulders, the contour of the armpit and the narrow width of the chest. Jersey numbers on the front of the pad create another landmark for hitting. Use this pad to teach hand placement and punch.

The pad is made from a high density foam that is lightweight and shock absorbent. Adjustable web straps fasten around the neck and back to insure a snug fit. Quick release buckles allow the players to get in and out of the pads quickly. Extra padding is built into the neck strap and chin guard for comfort and protection.

“The coaching point is to allow the scout team to move and react while going full speed!”
