Sports Attack Snap Attack Football Machine

Why Buy a Sports Attack Snap Attack Football Machine?

Designed by football coaches, the Snap Attack football training machine is a snap, pass and kick machine that will maximize your time on the most difficult to practice phases of the game.

The Snap Attack football machine’s solid polyurethane throwing wheels firmly grip the ball for an accurate spin. The wheel guards protect arms from potential wheel burns as well as help to keep the wheels as dry as possible in inclement weather.

Rapid fire and multiple ball drills are part of the Snap Attack’s repertoire. The two independently running electric motors create a near instantaneous recovery time, and furnish enough power to put the football anywhere on the field. On the passing stand, the Snap Attack can pivot instantly in any direction, accurately throwing right- and left-handed passes, punts and kickoffs to any location on the field. In the lowered position at ground level and realistic angles, machine snaps ball to any depth in shotgun and pistol formations, extra points and punts. No second ball cradle is required for kickoff.

Unique Features

  • Universal cradle positions the ball for either passing, punting, snapping or kickoffs. (No second cradle required for kickoff.)
  • Loosen Wheel Tilt Handles and rotate throwing head to determine right or left pass/punt or end-over-end. Handles safely facilitate tilting of wheels to locate and lock throwing head into desired position.
  • Two high-powered motors provide instant recovery, allowing rapid repetition and combination of drills without waiting for wheels to come back up to speed.
  • Passing stand allows throwing head to pivot instantly in any direction, accurately throwing passes, punts and kickoffs to any location on the field. Operators can lead receivers or spot punts or kickoffs precisely for both returns and coverage. Elevation changes are quick and easy. Machine can also be locked-in for precise repetition.
  • In lowered position, at ground level, at realistic angles, machine snaps ball to any depth in shotgun and pistol formations, extra points and punts.
  • Solid, guarded wheels, are specially-designed for minimal wear and last the life of the machine with no need for pressure changes.
  • Forces quarterbacks to focus on catching the ball in snapping position for shotgun and pistol signal drills helping to eliminate fumbles in game conditions.
  • For extra point practice, it creates realistic timing as holder must focus on catching snap before placing ball. Also improves timing of kicker as he must time with snapped ball and holder.
  • Provides opportunity for holders and punters to practice against bad snaps.
  • Unit quickly moves on and off field; just tilt it, unsocket legs and easily roll it on two transporting wheels.
  • Controller is accessible, visible and safely away from throwing wheels.
  • Wheel guards protect players, coaches, fingers and hands during operation.
  • No assembly is required. Unit arrives fully assembled and ready for your immediate use.

Without passing stand the Snap Attack is 24” x (L), 20” (W) x, 24” (H). with passing stand it is 36” (L) x 36” (W), 56” (H)

What type of assembly is necessary upon first receipt of my new Snap Attack and are there any special tools required?
Minimal assembly is required as you will have to simply attach either the snapping or passing stands to the machine. No tools are required.

How is the Snap Attack most commonly transported?
Without passing stand, the Snap Attack is simply moved by grabbing the spring-loaded handle on the leg of the snapping stand. With passing stand, tilt down, remove two front legs and use rear to transport and guide the machine.

How is the Snap Attack moved around the football field?
The Snap Attack is provided with two large, solid rolling wheels on which the machine is moved on and off the field. (With the passing or snapping stands.) Throwing wheels never touch the ground.

Are there specifications for the balls that perform best with the Snap Attack?
Both leather and composite balls work with the Snap Attack. The machine will perform best with properly inflated balls (10 to 13 lbs). The machine is designed for a standard football (high school level play and above), it will not throw a youth size ball.

Are there particular balls that will not perform well with the Snap Attack?
Youth balls, undersize, or under-inflated balls will not perform well.

Does it throw wet balls?
No, balls need to be dry when using the machine. Wet balls will slip; the wheels will not grip the ball properly.

What is the height of the ball release point of the machine at passing (high) height?
The ball release point on the passing stand is 50″

What is the height of the ball release point of the machine at snapping (ground level) height?
The ball release point on the snapping stand is 12″

How accurate is this machine?
Extremely accurate. However, to insure you get the best accuracy, the balls used should be the same brand and equally inflated. This will provide the most consistent performance and accuracy.

What are the full load operating amps for the Snap Attack?
1.5 continuous amps

What is an acceptable length for an extension cord and what type do I need?
Use a minimum of #14/3 grounded power cord up to 200 foot in length. A longer cord will require the opinion of a licensed electrician.

Why do you not offer a battery-powered machine?
Battery powered units have much longer recovery time and slowly diminish in power which can result in inconsistent performance. The need to make sure the unit is always charged and ready to use is also an issue. Batteries are very expensive to replace, and are large and cumbersome to move around. As a result of these and many other concerns, we recommend generators; please see the next question.

Can the machine be operated with a generator?
Yes, however the generator must generate “clean electricity”. We recommend a minimum of 1000W, up to 2000W Honda generator with inverter technology. Weight of these generators is approximately 27 lbs, similar to the weight of a battery, but they are extremely portable.

What happens if the machine is used with a generator other than one that generates “clean electricity”?
Unless the generator provides “clean electricity”, the power surges from the generator will cause the Snap Attack to surge and become erratic, causing the machine to deliver inconsistent snaps or passes. (This phenomenon exists with all machines currently on the market.) See question above for recommended generator to be used with the Snap Attack.

What is the range of ball speeds the machine can deliver?
The Snap Attack can deliver from a short soft snap up to a 70 MPH pass

What type of snaps can the Snap Attack replicate?
Shot gun, placement (field goal or PAT), and punt.

What adjustment is required to change the type of pass?
Velocity as well as the horizontal and vertical adjustments are necessary to change the type of pass.

What adjustment is required to change the type of snap?
Speed and vertical (snapping angle) adjustments are necessary to change the type of snap

What is the advantage of a Snap Attack machine design as compared to competitive units?
The Snap Attack does not scar balls. It is easily portable with no deflating wheels. The controller is easily accessible and extremely easy to use. Safety is important and the Snap Attack has wheels that are guarded. The Snap Attack also has much quicker recovery time, almost instant recovery as each wheel has its own much more powerful motor. The Snap Attack wheels are polyurethane and are much lighter, faster, and more durable.

What makes the Snap Attack machine wheels higher in quality?
Sports Attack uses the same Polyurethane material for the wheels on all of our machines. There are no air pressure considerations with our solid design. Sports Attack has never replaced a ball throwing wheel on any of our machines due to wear.

How long and complicated is the process to convert the machine from snapping height to throwing height?
It is simply a change in stands, from the snapping to passing stand. It take less than a minute and no tools are required.

Will the machine adapt to a transport cart?
Yes the machine will adapt to most carts. Ask us for assistance if you have a cart you would like to use with the Snap Attack.

How is repair and service handled for the Snap Attack?
Components are designed to be easily replaced in the field, local assistance is not required. Parts list is available in the manual (also available online on the football web page). Simply identify part needed, order part directly from Sports Attack and follow easy directions for repair. Only a few common tools are required to complete any repair.
