Abstract: An adapter for a football sled may enable multi-directional movement of a pad of the football sled. That is, the disclosed adapter may comprise a ball joint coupled between a base and a pad support of the football sled, and the ball joint may facilitate multi-directional movement of the pad, which is mounted to the pad support, relative to the base. The adapter may also comprise a biasing member coupled to the ball joint that is configured to bias the ball joint toward a non-deflected position (e.g., a standard, at rest position). The football sled may be configured to be pushed from a front side of the football sled parallel to an impact axis extending through a front surface of the pad support.
