Whether it's snaps, passes, or kicks, this machine significantly enhances practice efficiency, allowing you to focus on key game moments that are often difficult to train. It’s a versatile addition to any football program, providing consistent and accurate reps that simulate real-game scenarios.
Equipped with solid polyurethane throwing wheels, the Snap Attack delivers exceptional ball grip, ensuring accurate spins for passes and kicks.

The machine's two high-powered electric motors allow for rapid recovery, so you can perform multiple drills with minimal downtime.
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 not only a near instantaneous recovery time, but 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 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

Locating pin and holes eliminate trial and error. Handles safely facilitate tilting of wheels to locate and lock throwing head into desired position.

- Passing stand allows throwing head to pivot instantly in any direction, accurately throwing passes, punts and kick-offs to any location on the field. Operators can lead receivers or spot punts or kick-offs precisely for both returns and coverage. Elevation changes are quick and easy. Machine can also be locked-in for precise repetition.
