Description
Overview
The Silver Fern Intermediate Tackle Bag is a stand-up tackle bag sized between junior and senior gear, at 1.35 m high and 450 mm wide. It is part of the Silver Fern range of tackle training equipment and is made to order once you place your order, so colour and quantity can be set for your club.
Tackle bags let players practise body height, shoulder contact and leg drive without tackling a team-mate every repetition. This intermediate size suits players who have outgrown small junior bags but are not yet ready to hit full senior bags.
Key benefits
- Realistic tackle target for developing players, at 1.35 m tall and 450 mm wide.
- Colour-matched to your club with black or blue as standard and other colours on request.
- Built for rugby union contact training, sized for intermediate-level players.
- Made to order, so you can order the exact number your squad needs.
Who it's for
Intermediate school rugby programmes, junior club grades moving into full contact, and secondary school teams running tackle technique drills. At 1.35 m the bag is tall enough to teach correct tackle height on a standing target while remaining manageable for smaller players to hold and reset.
Senior club sides and premier squads should look at larger bags in the tackle training category; this size is intended for intermediate-level players rather than adult forwards hitting at full pace. If you are unsure which size fits your grades, the reps can help you choose.
Care, safety and set-up
This bag is made to order and manufactured after you order, so allow for production time rather than expecting same-day dispatch. Because of its size it is a freight item and delivery is quoted separately once your order or quote is confirmed.
Store bags under cover and off the ground between sessions and wipe off mud after wet training so the cover dries properly. Check seams and handles regularly, as tackle bags take repeated heavy contact. Covered by the store's 12-month guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
What colours can I order?
Black or blue are the standard options. Other colours are available on request, so tell the team your club colour when you request a quote.
How do I get a price for a full set for my club?
Add the bags to a quote with any hit shields or other gear you need and request a quote. Funding packages are available for schools and clubs, and quantity pricing applies on many lines.
Is delivery included?
No. Tackle bags are bulky and are freight-quoted to your address. The customer-service team confirms the freight cost with your quote.
Is this the right size for senior players?
It is sized for intermediate-level players at 1.35 m high. Senior sides normally use a taller bag; ask the reps about larger sizes in the tackle training range.
