Track and field is one of the most equipment-driven sports in athletics. Between throws, jumps, meet-day operations, and year-round training, even a “basic” program can require dozens of different items.

Whether you’re a coach ordering for a high school team, a club director outfitting a growing program, or an athlete buying your own gear, the goal is the same: get the right track and field supplies quickly, clearly, and from brands you trust.

What Counts as Track & Field Supplies?

Track and field equipment typically falls into five main categories:

  • Throws equipment (shot put, discus, javelin)
  • Jumps equipment (high jump, pole vault, long jump, triple jump)
  • Meet-day equipment (hurdles, batons, markers, measuring tools)
  • Training supplies (speed, agility, strength, and conditioning tools)
  • Apparel and accessories (uniforms, warmups, bags, and essentials)

Most programs don’t just buy once—they restock every year, replace worn items mid-season, and upgrade equipment over time.

Throws Equipment: Shot Put, Discus, and Javelin

Throws are one of the most common equipment purchases in track and field because implements wear out, get lost, or need to be replaced by correct weight class. For schools, it’s also common to buy multiple implements per weight so athletes can rotate during practice.

Common throws supplies include:

  • Shot puts (multiple weights for youth, middle school, high school, and college)
  • Discus (rubber, rim-weighted, competition models)
  • Javelins (training and competition)
  • Throwing bags and storage solutions
  • Training implements (where applicable)

Buying tip: Always match your implements to the competition rules your program follows (NFHS, USATF, NCAA). If you’re unsure, it’s better to confirm before ordering than to end up with equipment you can’t use in competition.

Jump Equipment: High Jump, Pole Vault, Long Jump, and Triple Jump

Jump equipment ranges from low-cost essentials to major program investments. Even if you’re not replacing a full pit system, most jump programs need regular replacement parts like crossbars and accessories.

High jump supplies

  • High jump crossbars
  • Standards and uprights
  • Replacement parts and accessories

Pole vault supplies

  • Pole vault poles (by weight rating)
  • Standards and accessories
  • Landing system components (where applicable)

Long jump / triple jump supplies

  • Takeoff boards and inserts
  • Rakes and pit tools
  • Measuring tapes and markers

If your program is planning a bigger upgrade, ST1 Sports can support team and school orders with clear quoting and streamlined fulfillment.

Meet-Day Equipment: What You Need to Host a Track Meet

If your school hosts even one meet, your equipment needs expand fast. Meet-day gear isn’t just about performance—it’s about running an organized, safe event.

Track meet equipment essentials

  • Starting blocks
  • Relay batons
  • Hurdles (and replacement parts)
  • Relay zone markers
  • Lane markers and field layout tools
  • Measuring tapes (fiberglass recommended)
  • Event flags and basic officiating supplies

Many athletic departments also order meet equipment alongside training supplies, since the same budget and ordering window often covers both.

Training Supplies for Track & Field (That Help Every Event Group)

Track and field is unique because you’re training multiple athlete types at once: sprinters, hurdlers, jumpers, throwers, and distance runners. The best programs invest in training tools that can support all groups.

High-value training supplies include:

  • Speed ladders
  • Mini hurdles
  • Cones and field markers
  • Resistance bands
  • Medicine balls
  • Plyometric boxes
  • Core and mobility tools

Pro tip: Training supplies are one of the best “multi-sport” purchases an athletic department can make. The same equipment can support football, soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball, and more.

Track & Field Apparel, Uniforms, and Team Gear

Beyond equipment, most track programs also need apparel and accessories throughout the season. This often includes warmups, team training gear, competition uniforms, and spirit wear for families.

If you want to simplify ordering for athletes and parents, a team store can be a game-changer.
