The Gill Stainless Steel Shot is a precision competition implement built for consistency throw after throw. Machine-turned to an exact shape and weight, it delivers the balanced feel serious throwers rely on when every centimeter counts — and its stainless construction resists the rust and pitting that shorten the life of lesser shots left out in the elements. For high school and collegiate programs, it's a durable, meet-ready choice that holds its specifications season after season.

Key features & specs

• Machine-turned precision — Turned for an exact, consistent shape and weight on every implement
• Stainless steel construction — Resists corrosion and surface wear for a long service life
• This model — 12 lb, 103 mm diameter
• Meets specifications — Conforms to NFHS, NCAA, and World Athletics standards
• Certified sizes — The 4K/109 mm and 16 lb/129 mm shots are World Athletics Certified

Coach's tip: Keep a size range on hand so athletes train and compete with the exact implement weight their division requires. Care: Wipe clean and dry after wet-weather use and store indoors to preserve the finish and protect the throwing surface.

The Gill 6' Training Barrier is the practical solution for programs that need steeplechase-specific training without the space, cost, or logistics of full-width competition barriers. At 6' wide, it fits comfortably on standard training tracks and indoor facilities while delivering the same beam construction and height adjustment system used in Gill's competition-certified full-width barriers — giving athletes the authentic barrier feel they need to develop proper steeplechase technique and water jump approach mechanics.

• • 5" x 5" Aluminum Beam with Synthetic Track Surface — The barrier beam is constructed from 5" x 5" square aluminum tubing wrapped in synthetic track material, matching the exact beam dimensions and surface texture of full competition steeplechase barriers — giving athletes the authentic footing feel for lead-leg plant and clearance technique that's critical for proper steeplechase form development
  • Three-Height Pull-Pin Adjustment — Base legs adjust to official competition heights of 30" (women's), 33" (intermediate), and 36" (men's) using a simple pull-pin mechanism that allows height changes in seconds without tools — making it fast to configure for different athlete groups and training scenarios during practice sessions
  • Same Materials as Competition Barriers — Built using identical materials and construction methods as Gill's full NCAA and World Athletics-certified competition steeplechase barriers, ensuring athletes train on the same beam feel, surface texture, and height geometry they will encounter during sanctioned meets
  • 6' Width for Training Environments — Compact 6-foot width fits standard training lanes, indoor facilities, and practice track configurations where full 16'5" competition barriers would be impractical — ideal for technique drills, approach work, and barrier clearance repetitions without requiring a dedicated steeplechase pit setup
  • Powder-Coated Durable Finish — Heavy-duty powder coat finish protects the aluminum base legs and frame hardware against rust, surface corrosion, and outdoor weathering through years of training use in all seasonal conditions without requiring refinishing or touch-up maintenance
  • Sold Individually — Wheel Insert Kit Available Separately — Barriers are sold as individual units for flexible quantity purchasing; optional wheel insert kits (74014050) are available separately to add foot-engaged drop-down wheels for easier repositioning between drill sets during practice

The Gill Aluminum Platform is the purpose-built foundation support for the Gill 654 Series pole vault landing system. Raising the pit off the ground surface protects the foam and vinyl casing from moisture intrusion and ground contact degradation — extending the service life of the landing system significantly and keeping the pit in competition-ready condition year after year.

• • Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Construction – Individual platform pallets are built from high-quality aluminum that resists rust and surface corrosion through outdoor exposure, rain, and humidity, maintaining structural integrity and supporting the landing system reliably across multiple seasons without deterioration
  • Elevates Pit Above Ground Level – Raises the 654 Series pole vault landing system off the ground surface to prevent water from pooling beneath the pit and soaking into the foam base units — the primary cause of premature foam breakdown and vinyl casing damage in pole vault landing systems
  • Individual Pallet Design for Easy Handling – Platform consists of separate individual pallets rather than a single heavy unit, making each piece manageable for one or two people to carry, position, and store without heavy equipment or excessive manual labor
  • Quick Assembly and Disassembly – Pallet system goes together and comes apart rapidly, allowing facility staff to set up or break down the platform during meet preparation or off-season storage without tools or lengthy setup procedures
  • Precise Fit for 654 Series Landing System – Engineered specifically to match the footprint dimensions of Gill's 654 Pole Vault Landing System, ensuring the pit sits flush, level, and fully supported across its entire base without gaps or instability at the edges
  • Compact Storage When Disassembled – Individual aluminum pallets stack efficiently for compact off-season storage, minimizing the facility space required to store the platform when the pole vault pit is not in active use during the competitive season

Standing water is the fastest way to ruin an expensive landing pit, and the Gill Aluminum Platform is the fix. Built to support the Gill 641 High Jump System above the ground surface, it lifts the foam and vinyl base off the track so rain and ground moisture can't pool underneath and break down the pit from below. For programs protecting a serious investment in their landing system, this platform is the difference between a pit that lasts a few seasons and one that lasts for years.

Key features & specs

• Elevates the pit — Supports high jump (and pole vault) landing pits above the ground to prevent water damage and premature foam breakdown
• Corrosion-resistant aluminum — Stands up to rain, humidity, and outdoor exposure without rusting
• Modular pallet design — Consists of individual pallets that are easy to carry, position, and store
• Built for the 641 System — Sized to support the Gill 641 High Jump landing system

Coach's tip: Set the platform on a level, well-draining surface so water sheds away from the pit entirely. Care: Rinse off dirt and debris periodically and stack the pallets for compact off-season storage.

The Gill Brutus NCAA Aluminum Discus Cage with Rear Door Access is engineered for facilities in high-wind areas that need extra-strength containment for discus competition. Built with hammer-cage-grade poles, this seven-pole configuration stands up to gusty conditions that would flex a lighter cage, keeping your throwing area safe and meet-legal through the toughest weather. Rear door access streamlines athlete and implement flow in and out of the cage, making it a rugged, competition-ready choice for serious throws programs.

Key features & specs:

• Built for high-wind areas that demand extra-strength discus cages
• Hammer-cage-strength poles: 4" outside diameter, .218" thick-wall aluminum
• Seven-pole configuration with convenient rear door access
• Meets NCAA specifications
• Backed by a 5-year warranty

Coach's tip: Site the cage with prevailing wind and spectator areas in mind, and inspect the netting, poles, and anchoring each season — especially after storms — to keep containment reliable. Because this is a heavy permanent installation, plan the pad and footing work before delivery so setup goes smoothly.

The Gill Door Net is the replacement netting panel for the swinging-door opening on Gill 731100 and 731105 throwing cages, restoring full containment protection when your cage's original door net wears out. The door net is the critical safety component that closes the gap at the cage entry during discus and hammer competition, keeping errant throws safely contained within the cage envelope. Sized and configured specifically for these cage models, it drops into your existing frame so you can bring an aging cage back to full, meet-legal safety without replacing the entire structure.

Key features & specs:

• Direct replacement door net for Gill 731100 and 731105 throwing cages
• Closes the door opening to maintain full throw containment during competition
• Sized and configured to fit the existing cage door frame
• Restores meet-legal safety to an in-service cage without a full rebuild

Coach's tip: Inspect your cage netting every season for frays, holes, and sun damage — a compromised door net is a safety liability during discus and hammer events. Confirm your cage model (731100 or 731105) before ordering so the replacement fits, and store spare netting dry and out of direct sun to extend its life.

The Gill 12M/39' Distance Marker gives officials, coaches, and spectators an instant, at-a-glance reference point on the track and field infield. The stable three-sided design stands upright on its own and stays readable from multiple angles, making it ideal for marking distances, relay exchange zones, or event boundaries.

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.

Key features & specs:

• Highly visible, heavy-duty nylon flag construction
• Comfortable, durable plastic handle for a secure grip
• Flags measure 14" x 13" for clear at-a-distance signaling
• Red/white color scheme (actual color may vary from what is pictured)

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 International Implement Cart for Shot keeps your throwing implements organized, protected, and easy to move between the storage room and the throwing circle. Individual HDPE liners cradle each shot separately so implements don't bang together and chip in transit, preserving both their finish and their certified weight. Built on a powder-coated steel frame with oversized never-flat casters, the cart rolls smoothly across grass, gravel, and rough terrain, so one coach can transport a full complement of shots without strain.

Key features & specs:

Key features & specs:

• Complete set covering lanes 1 through 8
• Stable three-sided design provides excellent visibility from all directions
• Lightweight with a top center hand hole for easy stacking and carrying
• 28" tall for clear sightlines across the track

Coach's tip: Store the markers stacked together as a numbered set so your crew can deploy lanes 1-8 in seconds on meet day. Wipe them down and let them dry before stacking after wet meets to keep the numbers legible and the plastic in top shape season after season.

The Gill Horizontal Distance Indicator Boards are the professional standard for pit-side distance visualization at long jump and triple jump competitions. Placed along the full length of the sand pit, they eliminate the guesswork between jumps — giving athletes immediate feedback on distance and giving coaches and spectators a clear, real-time gauge of performance without waiting for official measurement.

• Pit-Side Distance Visualization — Boards are positioned along the side of the sand pit at measured distance intervals, providing an instant visual reference for jump distance that athletes can read from the runway and coaches can track from the sideline during both practice and competition
