WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS Failure to follow all 

instructions listed below may result in personal injury. 

 

Supervision of the drills while using the MVP | SPRINT is recommended. The MVP | SPRINT has its weight located in the 
bottom half. This will result in momentum carrying the MVP | SPRINT forward even as it is tackled with possibly the MVP | 
SPRINT sliding forward base first or rolling forward. It is imperative to avoid situations where the player is partially or 
totally in the path of the MVP | SPRINT, but not squared up to it. Designing drills to position the players to be out of the 

MVP | SPRINT’s path or 

to be squared up to it avoiding situations where a leg or ankle could be rolled under the MVP | 

SPRINT or where the MVP | SPRINT could possibly strike a defenseless player. If there is a drill where there is a concern for 
the players safety, discontinue the drill, document the situation and contact MVP.  

 

 

 

Having players tackle MVP | SPRINT while stationary first is recommended to give the players a sense of the product. 

 

MVP | SPRINT should only contact a player during a planned drill or exercise when the player is aware of the drill 
operation and can see, react and square up to the MVP | SPRINT.  

 

Adequate space is needed to use a MVP | SPRINT in a drill or exercise. The MVP | SPRINT may roll after contact possibly 
striking a spectator or player participating in another drill.   

 

Supervision of the drills while using the MVP | SPRINT is recommended. The players may perceive the MVP | SPRINT as 
another dummy and may try for a big hit underestimating the size, weight and speed of the MVP | SPRINT. This could 
result in a player injury.  

 

Training of the coaching staff is recommended. Safe use of the MVP | SPRINT requires an understanding of the MVP | 
SPRINT, its operations, hazards, and limitations.   

 

Training of the person using the controller (

“Operator”) to cont

rol the MVP | SPRINT to maintain the planned path of the 

MVP | SPRINT is very important. Turning the MVP | SPRINT into a player or turning it off course instead of continuing the 
line of movement could put the player or spectators in the path of the MVP | SPRINT where they cannot safely square up 
and tackle or get out of the way causing injury.   

 

Supervision of athletes while using the equipment is recommended. Horse play such as chasing people with the MVP | 
SPRINT or running it into unsuspecting persons can result in injures.  

 

MVP | SPRINT should only be operated within a clear line of sight of the Operator.  

 

For best results, design drills using one player and one MVP | SPRINT, one player and multiple MVP | SPRINTS, or multiple 
players and one MVP | SPRINT. Do not attempt to use multiple players and multiple MVP | SPRINT dummies in the same 
drill.  

 

Inspect the MVP | SPRINT and the controller prior to use. DO NOT use the MVP | SPRINT if it or its controller appears 
damaged.  

 

Do not operate your MVP | SPRINT if a degradation of the foam, vinyl cover, or mechanical parts is observed. Contact MVP 
for replacement parts and service.  

 

Although designed to operate both indoors and outdoors, the MVP | SPRINT is not intended to operate in rainy conditions 
or to run through standing water. Use in the rain or running through standing water could damage the MVP | SPRINT.  

 

Although designed to be used in contact drills, the MVP | SPRINT is not intended to collide into a hard-fixed item such as 
a wall, curb or post. Colliding the MVP | SPRINT into a hard-fixed object could damage the MVP | SPRINT. Colliding a MVP 

| SPRINT into another MVP | SPRINT may damage one or both of the MVP | SPRINT’s. 

 

 

The MVP | SPRINT is designed to be operated on synthetic turf. Do not operate the MVP | SPRINT on concrete or asphalt 
as that could damage the MVP | SPRINT.  The MVP | SPRINT will operate on grass fields, but may tear up the grass.  

 

Disassembling the MVP | SPRINT can cause shock or injury.  

 

Puncturing or damaging the battery can cause explosion or injury.  

 

If the MVP | SPRINT fails to respond to commands as expected, cease use and email: [email protected] If you need 
to stop it, tackle the MVP | SPRINT and turn off the switch under the flap on t

he MVP | SPRINT’s cover. 

 

 

Wheels that propel the MVP | SPRINT, stop when the dummy tips more than thirty (30) degrees.
