The Gill NCAA Inner Door Net measures 8' x 14' and serves as the inner containment barrier at the entrance of a Gill NCAA hammer or discus cage, adding a critical second layer of throw containment for athlete and official safety. The inner door net catches any implement that makes it past the outer door barrier, and it is a required safety component for compliant cage operation, so keeping it in good condition is essential to running a legal, safe throwing event.

• Inner containment door net for Gill NCAA hammer/discus cages
• Dimensions: 8' x 14'
• Adds a required second layer of throw containment
• Catches implements that pass the outer door barrier
• Manufactured to exact NCAA cage specifications

Coach's tip: Confirm the net matches your cage configuration before ordering, and check its tension and attachment points before every competition. Replace worn or damaged inner nets promptly to keep the cage compliant, and store spare nets dry and out of the sun to extend their life.

The Gill NCAA Portable Discus Cage provides a regulation-compliant, fully portable throwing enclosure for discus events at the high school and collegiate level.

Coach's tip: Ballast the base fully and check net tension and pole seating before every session so the cage contains throws reliably. It is a smart fit for programs that share facilities or need to clear the infield for other events. Inspect the netting for wear each season and replace damaged panels promptly to keep the cage competition-legal.

The Gill NCAA Portable Weight Throw Cage delivers safe, regulation containment for the weight throw and can be set up or removed as your schedule requires.

The Gill Net for the 4M NCAA Discus Cage is a direct replacement net sized precisely for the Gill 732230 NCAA Portable Discus Cage. Nets are the working safety surface of any throwing cage, and a worn, torn, or stretched net compromises containment and can put the cage out of compliance. Swapping in this correctly sized replacement restores full throw containment and keeps your discus cage competition-ready.

Key features & specs:

• Replacement net for the Gill 732230 NCAA Portable Discus Cage
• Dimensions: 16'6" x 68'6"
• Sized to the exact 4M NCAA cage specification

Gill Ninja Elite Pole Vault Grip Tape is the grip that lets vaulters hold lighter and grip tighter, even in wet or oily conditions. Engineered with thousands of tiny gripping "fingers," the tape delivers dependable purchase on the pole without chalk, sticky sprays, or other additives, so athletes get a clean, consistent grip and an easy release every time. It is a favorite for vaulters chasing higher heights who want confidence in their top hand through the plant and takeoff.

Coach's tip: Wrap the tape smoothly over the pole's grip zone with slight tension and no overlap gaps for the best feel. Replace it once the fingers wear smooth, and store poles in a cool, dry rack to keep the grip surface tacky.

The Gill Nocken Ball (600g) is an indoor throwing aid built to give athletes the feel of a javelin when training inside during the winter or in tight practice spaces. The rubberized Nocken ball lets throwers rehearse the javelin delivery — the run-up rhythm, block, and arm action — safely indoors, so your throws squad keeps developing technique year-round without needing a full outdoor runway or a live javelin.

Key features & specs:

• 600g training ball designed to replicate the feel and weight of a javelin throw

Coach's tip: Use the Nocken ball for high-volume technique reps indoors when weather keeps your throwers off the runway — it builds the throwing motion without the wear and risk of a metal javelin. Care: Wipe clean after use and store at room temperature; keep it away from sharp edges that could nick the rubber surface.

The Gill Officials Flags in red/white give your meet officials a clear, high-visibility way to signal fair and foul jumps, throws, and starts across the venue. The heavy-duty nylon flag stands out against a busy competition backdrop, so athletes and the head official can read the call instantly from across the field or runway. A sturdy plastic handle gives officials a comfortable, secure grip through a long day of events, making this a simple, reliable tool every meet crew should carry.

Coach's tip: Keep a pair at every judged event — horizontal jumps, throws, and the start — so officials always have a flag in hand. Store them flat or loosely rolled rather than crumpled to keep the nylon crisp and readable, and let them dry fully before storing after wet meets.

The Gill Orbiter Handle is the replacement grip for Gill Orbiter Lead Throwing Weights, restoring a secure, comfortable hold when the original handle wears down. Its wide, textured design gives throwers dependable grip through the turns and release — an economical fix that keeps a valuable training weight in service instead of replacing the whole implement.

Key features & specs:

• Type: Replacement handle (handle only)
• Design: Wide, textured grip for a secure hold
• Finish: Textured black
• Compatibility: Fits Gill Orbiter Lead Throwing Weights
• Model: GP-491030

Coach's tip: Inspect handles regularly and swap in a fresh one at the first sign of wear or cracking — a compromised grip is a safety risk with a heavy throwing weight. Keep a spare on hand so a worn handle never sidelines a training weight mid-session.

The Gill Ote Adjustable Javelin Bag with Tubes is a rugged carry-and-storage solution that protects your throwers' javelins in transit and between practices.
