Gill Athletics

The Gill Shot Toeboard (Synthetic, Depressed Pad) gives shot put circles a durable, competition-legal stop board that holds up to repeated contact from the shot and the thrower's foot. Molded from low-density polyethylene for a 3/4" depressed surface, it's built to meet the specifications officials require while resisting the cracking and chipping that shortens the life of lesser toeboards.

Key features & specs:

• Material: Molded low-density polyethylene with a 1/4" wall thickness
• Fit: Designed for a 3/4" depressed pad surface
• Compatibility: Works with 366, 369, and 374 shot circles and the 3741 form
• Compliance: Meets NFHS, NCAA, and World Athletics specifications
• Model: GP-358

Coach's tip: Confirm your circle type and pad depth (depressed vs. level) before ordering so the toeboard seats flush and legal. Check that it's securely anchored before each session — a loose toeboard is both a foul-line and a safety issue — and store synthetic boards out of prolonged sun to keep the material from getting brittle.

The Gill Baseball 4-Way Pitcher's Rubber is built to outlast ordinary pitching rubbers by design. Its molded rubber construction with inner support tubing stands up to the constant push-off and cleat abuse of a full season, and the four-way design lets you rotate it to a fresh face as edges wear — effectively multiplying its usable life and stretching your equipment budget across several seasons.

Key features & specs:

• Construction: Molded rubber with inner support tubing for durability
• 4-way design: Rotate periodically to a fresh edge for use over multiple seasons
• Durability: Holds up through tough games and daily practice
• Use: Regulation pitcher's rubber for the mound
• Model: GP-33252

Coach's tip: Rotate the rubber to a fresh face at the first sign of edge wear so you get all four sides of service before replacing it. Set it flush and level with the mound clay, and re-tamp the surrounding dirt at the start of each season to keep the push-off surface solid.

The Gill World Athletics Hammer Handle is the competition-grade grip that connects to the hammer's wire, giving throwers a secure, consistent hold through the turns and release. Engineered to meet official specifications and World Athletics approved, it's suitable for sanctioned competition at every level — a reliable replacement or spare for any throws program building out its hammer equipment.

Key features & specs:

• Material: Aluminum grip
• Certification: World Athletics (IAAF) approved for sanctioned competition
• Function: Attaches to the hammer wire to form the thrower's grip
• Use: Competition and training at high school, collegiate, and open levels
• Model: GP-32020

Coach's tip: Pair the handle with a matching wire and hammer head rated for your athletes' weight class, and inspect the grip and wire connection before every session for wear. Keep a spare handle on hand — a worn or bent grip should be retired immediately for safety.

The Gill Perfect Plant Sliding Vault Box is a training tool designed by elite vaulters Pat Manson (19' 2¼") and Scott Huffman (19' 7") to help athletes master the run, plant, and take-off. By letting vaulters rehearse pole carriage, run mechanics, tempo, and step placement in a controlled, repeatable way, it builds the muscle memory that translates directly to higher, safer vaults on the runway.

Key features & specs:

• Purpose: Trains run, plant, and take-off mechanics for pole vault
• Design: Tip-proof design with a built-in carry handle for portability
• Accuracy: Zero mark molded into the side for placement accuracy; same size as a regulation vault box
• Construction: High-impact thermoplastic with UV-protected white polycarbonate for visibility and durability
• Model: GP-2531

Coach's tip: Use the sliding box for plant-and-takeoff reps before moving athletes to the live pit, and reference the molded zero mark to keep step placement consistent rep to rep. Store it indoors out of prolonged sun, and wipe it down so the high-visibility surface stays clear.

The Gill Chalk Stand keeps gymnastics or throwing chalk organized and within easy reach during practice and competition. Its lightweight, purpose-built design features a wide opening sized for chalking up hands quickly, plus storage and hanging features that keep the training area tidy — a small but genuinely useful piece of equipment for any program that chalks up.

Key features & specs:

• Function: Stores and dispenses chalk during practice and competition
• Chalking: Wide opening for easy hand access
• Storage: Built-in pocket for extra chalk
• Extras: Rungs for hanging accessories or resting vaulting poles
• Design/Model: Lightweight, portable build; GP-WE305

Coach's tip: Position the stand just outside the runway or apparatus area so athletes can chalk up without breaking their routine, and keep a block of backup chalk in the pocket. Empty and wipe out loose chalk dust periodically to keep the stand — and the surrounding floor — clean and safe.

The Gill PowerMax Wall/Ceiling Mount Chinning Bar is a heavy-duty pull-up station built for weight rooms and training areas that see constant team use. Its wide bar and rugged steel construction give athletes a stable, confidence-inspiring platform for pull-ups and chin-ups, while the wall/ceiling mount design keeps floor space clear for other training.

Key features & specs:

• Dimensions: 50" wide x 21" tall
• Grip: 1" grip diameter; bar sits 22" away from the wall for full range of motion
• Mounting: 48" mounting centers; wall or ceiling mount
• Capacity/Finish: Estimated 350 lb load rating; black powder-coat finish
• Note/Model: Hardware not included; GP-PM-WE179

Coach's tip: Mount into solid structural framing and use anchors rated well above the 350 lb estimate for a safe margin — mounting hardware isn't included and must match your structure. Inspect the mounts regularly under heavy team use and wipe the bar down to keep the grip clean and rust-free.

The Gill Essentials 653 Pole Vault Pit Value Pack bundles everything a program needs to build out a complete, competition-ready pole vault setup — landing system, standards, crossbar, base pads, and a weather cover — in one cost-saving package. For athletic directors starting or refreshing a vault program, buying the components together takes the guesswork out of matching parts and delivers a coordinated system ready for practice and meets.

Key features & specs:

• Landing system: 653 Essentials Pole Vault Landing System
• Standards: One pair of 7100 Essentials Pole Vault Standards
• Crossbar: One 526 Gill Pole Vault Crossbar

• Finish: Royal Blue vinyl with gray mesh top; model GP-VP300

Coach's tip: Confirm the landing system meets your association's minimum size and padding requirements for competition before installing. Always deploy the weather cover when the pit isn't in use — keeping moisture out of the foam is the single biggest factor in how long a vault pit lasts.

The Gill Cone Marker is a rugged, all-purpose marker that earns its keep at the track, on the field, and in the gym. Coaches use it to mark relay exchange zones and cut-in positions on the track, set up agility and drill stations, and lay out boundaries for practice — a simple, low-cost tool that brings structure and safety to any training session.

Key features & specs:

• Size: 6" cone height
• Color: High-visibility orange with black base
• Material: Durable, flexible PVC that bounces back after being stepped on
• Uses: Relay exchange zones, cut-in positions, agility drills, and field/gym markings
• Model: Gill TA9756

Coach's tip: Buy cones in quantity and keep a set in a mesh bag so a full drill layout is always ready to go. The flexible PVC shrugs off being stepped on — just stack and store them out of prolonged direct sun to keep the material from getting brittle over time.

The Gill Essentials High Jump Standards deliver the durable, competition-legal construction athletic directors expect at a value price. Built for high school and college programs, they set up quickly, roll easily into position, and read heights in both English and metric — everything a coach needs to run clean, efficient jump sessions at practice or on meet day.

Key features & specs:

• Construction: All-steel with a durable black powder-coat finish
• Base: 18" square base with built-in wheels for easy mobility
• Height scale: Reads both English and metric, from 2' to 8'
• Compliance: Meets High School and NCAA specifications
• Warranty: Five-year warranty; model GP-700

Coach's tip: Set standards on a firm, level surface and confirm both crossbar supports read the same height before each jump to keep the bar true. Wipe down after wet meets and store indoors to protect the powder coat and keep the rolling bases turning freely for years.

The Gill Portable Discus Platform gives throws programs a regulation practice and competition surface that can be set up, moved, and stored without a permanent concrete installation. Its portable, interlocking design is ideal for schools that share facilities or need to clear the throwing area for other events — roll it into place for practice, then break it down and store it out of the weather when you're done.

Key features & specs:

• Overall dimensions: 10' x 10' x 2"
• Construction: Two layers of ¾" plywood topped with a ½" track-surface layer
• Sections: Two 5' x 10' interlocking halves with spring-loaded handles for easy handling and storage
• Finish: Gray marine paint with a textured inner-ring surface for sure footing
• Model: GP-3770

Coach's tip: Set the platform on level, well-drained ground and confirm the interlocking sections are fully seated before every session. Store indoors or under cover between uses — keeping the marine finish out of standing water protects the textured throwing surface and extends its life.

The Gill Measuring Tape Kit gives meet officials and coaches the full set of tapes needed to run a track and field meet from a single box. Built around the lengths used most often across throwing and jumping events, it keeps measurement fast, accurate, and consistent — so officials can clear marks and move athletes through quickly. Every tape starts with the zero line right at the beginning, eliminating guesswork and offset errors at the take-off board or throwing circle.

Key features & specs

• Includes 4 of the most commonly used tapes: one #988 (300'/90m), two #985 (100'/30m), and one #984 (50'/15m)
• Zero line positioned at the start of each tape for quick, error-free reads
• Durable epoxy-coated steel construction built for repeated outdoor meet use
• Covers the range needed for shot, discus, javelin, long jump, triple jump, and relays

Best for: high school and collegiate track programs and meet-management crews. Usage tip: assign the two 100' tapes to jumps and the 300' to throws to keep multiple events measuring at once. Care: wipe down and dry fully before reeling in to prevent rust and keep the coating intact.
