Rae
Crowther, The Legendary Player & Coach
Who Started it All
The designer and founder
of our company was Rae Crowther.
Rae was a lineman who played in college and
then professionally for the Frankford Yellow
Jackets. The Yellow Jackets became World Champions
and were the precursors to the Philadelphia
Eagles. Rae became a very successful line
coach at Drexel, Harvard, and the University
of Pennsylvania, which at the time were football
powerhouses. Here's a quote from Rae, "As
you know, great players are not born. Great
teams don't just happen. Both are the result
of long hours of hard work, drills, practice,
imagination, and coaching methods. The need
then is for dependable equipment that will
greatly enhance the effectiveness of your
coaching.
That's where Crowther Sleds come into the
picture." He tested like a madman. He
was obsessed with getting his sleds right!
The spring, pan, pontoon, you name it - all
would come under his watchful eye and shoulder.
More than a few of Rae's contemporaries, from
Paul Brown to Bud Wilkerson, had a very high
regard for his products and helped develop
the sleds we have come to admire today. And,
to the present day, you will find a performance
advantage with a Crowther Sled or Chute.
