History of Rae Crowther Co.
The designer and founder of our classic sleds 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. Crowther sleds
are the most sensitive sleds in the world, rewarding
good technique and punishing poor technique because
he kept testing until perfection. 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.
What the Coach Says:
"We consider the Crowther 7-Man machine to
be the best machine for perfecting team take off
whether on offense or defense. Football is two things...
blocking and tackling. The team that does this best
will win. The Crowther Machine is indispensable
to our coaching throughout the season." Vince
Lombardi - former Head Football Coach of the Green
Bay Packers
What the Coach Says:
"After many years' experience with Rae's
sleds, I feel that every coach should have at least
one." "Woody" Hayes - former Head
Football Coach Ohio State University |
