Football Passing & Punting Machines

Football Throwing Machines and Passing Machines for Every Practice

Anyone searching for a football throwing machine or football passing machine has usually reached the same wall: coaches can only throw so many reps in a practice window before an arm gives out. This collection is built around that problem, with eight active products from three brands — Sports Attack, JUGS Sports, and Bownet — priced from $35 accessories to a $4,199 flagship machine. Instead of one generic "football machine," you get a lineup split across full passing machines, a dedicated snap machine, and lower-cost targets and attachments that bolt onto drills you already run.

Sports Attack Football Machines: Aerial Attack and Snap Attack

Sports Attack is the deepest brand in this collection, with three machines: the Sports Attack Aerial Attack Football Machine, the Aerial Attack (DC Model), and the Sports Attack Snap Attack Football Machine. The Aerial Attack line is the passing/punting workhorse in the catalog — the kind of unit programs use when they want a machine that can simulate a real thrower's ball rather than a fixed feed. The DC Model sits alongside the standard Aerial Attack as a variant, giving buyers a choice depending on power source or feature set. The Snap Attack is a different animal entirely: it's built around center-exchange and snap timing rather than downfield passing, so it fills a specific drill need — long snapping, shotgun timing, defensive line get-off on the snap — that a passing machine alone doesn't cover. Teams that want to drill both the pass and the snap in the same session typically end up looking at two Sports Attack units rather than one.

JUGS Football Machines: Passing, Field General, and More

JUGS Sports also carries three machines in this collection: the JUGS Football Passing Machine, the JUGS Field General Football Machine, and the JUGS Field Hockey Machine. The Football Passing Machine and Field General model give buyers two takes on JUGS's approach to thrown-ball reps — useful if you're comparing football machines by name recognition, since JUGS is one of the brands searched directly (shoppers land on this page looking for "jugs football machine for sale" or a JUGS deal specifically). The Field Hockey Machine is also part of JUGS's lineup here, which is worth noting if your athletic department is outfitting more than one sport and wants to stick with a single machine brand across programs rather than mixing vendors.

Bownet Targets and Attachments to Round Out Practice

Not every practice need is a full machine. Bownet's two products — the PassZone Attachment for Solo Kicker (Attachment Only) and Bownet Quarterback Targets — sit at the accessory end of the price span, likely near the $35 entry point in this collection. The PassZone attachment is built to pair with a Bownet Solo Kicker setup rather than stand alone, so confirm you already own (or are adding) the base unit it's designed to attach to. Bownet Quarterback Targets serve a simpler purpose: giving a QB or a machine operator visual aiming zones for accuracy work, without the cost or footprint of a full passing machine. These two items are the practical add-ons for programs that already have a machine or a kicking station and want to sharpen a specific skill.

Choosing the Right Football Passing Machine for Your Team

With prices in this collection running from $35 up to $4,199, the decision usually comes down to what drill you're solving for rather than budget alone. If the goal is high-rep quarterback and receiver work, the Sports Attack Aerial Attack models and the JUGS Football Passing Machine or Field General are the machines to compare. If the drill is snap timing or O-line/D-line get-off, the Sports Attack Snap Attack is the only dedicated option here. And if you already have a machine or a kicking station and just need to add accuracy targets or a compatible attachment, the Bownet pieces are the lower-cost route. Reading the exact model name in the title — Aerial Attack vs. Aerial Attack (DC Model), or Football Passing Machine vs. Field General — matters, since each is a distinct unit with its own place in a practice plan.
