Refine Mechanics and Build Explosive Speed
Great teams are built during the repetitive, detailed drills of Tuesday and Wednesday practices. While heavy sleds and throwing machines are great for full-team periods, coaches need specialized, portable tools to run efficient individual periods (INDY). Our collection of small training aids provides offensive coordinators and position coaches with the lightweight equipment required to set up multi-station drills, allowing players to focus entirely on their footwork, throwing mechanics, and burst speed.
Portable Tools for Elite Repetitions
We stock specifically chosen training equipment to ensure your skill players get the reps they need to dominate on game day:
- Quarterback Target Screens: We carry industry-leading solutions like the Bownet QB5 and the QB Fade Practice Net. These towering nets feature specific target pockets designed to catch the ball. They are invaluable for training quarterbacks to throw with anticipation and pinpoint accuracy, allowing them to get hundreds of throws in without burning out your receiving corps.
- Speed Chutes: Straight-line speed is the deadliest weapon in football. Our resistance speed chutes attach securely to the athlete's waist and deploy like a parachute during a sprint. This creates progressive wind resistance, forcing the player to drive their knees higher and pump their arms harder, ultimately building fast-twitch muscle fibers and top-end breakaway speed.
- Portable & Quick Set-Up: The beauty of small training aids is their mobility. Products like the Bownet series utilize a flexible composite pole system that can be set up or torn down by a single player in under two minutes, easily fitting into a carry bag for transport to away games or off-season camps.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are the quarterback target nets difficult to set up?
Not at all. The Bownet practice nets we carry feature a unique "bow" pole system. Similar to setting up a modern camping tent, the flexible composite poles slide into the netting and bend to create a highly stable, tension-based frame. It takes a single coach or player less than two minutes to assemble.
2. What is the benefit of a "Fade" practice net?
A standard target net is flat and designed for bullet passes over the middle. A Fade Net is specifically angled or positioned higher to simulate the trajectory needed to throw a touch pass (or "fade" route) into the back corner of the end zone, dropping the ball over the outstretched arms of a simulated defensive back.
3. Do speed chutes work for all positions?
Yes. While they are most popular with Wide Receivers, Running Backs, and Defensive Backs who rely on explosive 40-yard dash speed, linebackers and even pulling linemen use speed chutes during off-season conditioning to build lower-body drive and cardiovascular endurance.
4. Can these training nets be used indoors during the winter?
Yes. The portable QB target nets and throwing screens feature flat, non-marking bases. Because they do not require heavy steel ground stakes to stay upright, they can be safely set up on a gymnasium floor or an indoor turf facility without causing any damage to the surface.
5. Do you accept school purchase orders for coaching aids?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for over nine decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Head coaches and athletic directors can easily submit a formal PO to purchase target nets, speed chutes, practice jerseys, and agility ladders for their entire program.
