Long & Triple Jump Accessories

The Gill Mesh LJ/TJ Sand Pit Cover keeps your long jump and triple jump pit clean, safe, and ready for competition by keeping out leaves, debris, and animals between sessions. This gray mesh version is built for facilities where drainage matters more than full rain protection — the vinyl-coated woven polyester mesh lets water pass through instead of trapping it, while still shielding the sand from the mess that fouls an uncovered pit. It's a durable, no-nonsense cover that protects your investment and cuts down on pit maintenance.

Key features & specs:

• Sized 11'9" x 25'6" to cover a standard LJ/TJ sand pit
• Constructed of vinyl-coated woven polyester mesh for drainage and durability
• Fill included pouches with sand to anchor the cover securely against wind
• Choose solid vinyl instead if full rain protection is the priority
• Optional 5' x 5' multi-color graphic on a white background available (vector artwork and order form required)

Coach's tip: Fill the anchor pouches with sand and seat them evenly around the perimeter so the cover stays put in gusty conditions. Rake the pit before covering, and hose the mesh clean periodically to keep it draining freely and looking sharp.

The Gill Surface Roller is the fastest way to get your facility back in action after rain. Designed to clear standing water from tracks, runways, and throwing circles, this wide roller pushes puddles off the surface quickly and easily so practices and meets can start on time instead of waiting for the sun. Its versatility makes it a valuable multi-sport tool — it works just as well squeegeeing outdoor tennis and pickleball courts as it does prepping a track after a storm.

Key features & specs

• Clears water from tracks, runways, and throwing circles quickly and efficiently
• Generous 36" working width covers more ground with each pass
• Also ideal for drying outdoor courts, including tennis and pickleball
• Simple, durable design built for repeated facility use
• A must-have for weather-dependent outdoor programs

Coach's tip: Keep the roller near your track access gate so crews can clear lanes the moment rain stops — you'll reclaim valuable practice and warm-up time. Care: Rinse off grit after use, dry before storing, and store indoors or under cover to protect the roller surface between uses.

Keep your jump pit covers anchored and secure with the Blazer Replacement Sandbag with Velcro. Designed for use with Blazer #1604 pit covers, this Velcro-closure sandbag attaches to the cover's weight pouches to hold it firmly in place — so wind doesn't lift your sand pit cover and expose the pit between sessions.

Key features & specs:

• Velcro closure for easy filling and secure attachment
• Designed for use with Blazer #1604 jump pit covers
• Holds approximately 5 lbs of sand when filled (arrives unfilled)
• Compact 7" x 14" size
• A direct replacement for lost or worn cover weights

A practical, low-cost replacement for long jump and triple jump programs maintaining their pit covers. Fill the bag with sand and seal the Velcro closure, then attach it to your pit cover's weight pouches to anchor the cover against wind. Empty and store the bags dry in the off-season, and keep a few spares on hand so a lost weight never leaves your pit cover unsecured.

Help your jumpers and vaulters hit their steps every time with the Blazer Runway Marker Set. These solid-steel discs mark approach checkpoints on synthetic runway surfaces, giving athletes clear, consistent visual references for their run-up in the long jump, triple jump, high jump, and pole vault.

Key features & specs:

• Designed for marking approaches on synthetic surfaces
• Solid steel construction for durability and stability
• Five bright colors so athletes can distinguish their marks
• Low-profile discs that won't interfere with the approach
• Priced per set of 5

A simple, affordable coaching aid for track programs dialing in approach consistency. Set the markers at each athlete's checkpoints during practice so they groove a repeatable run-up, and assign colors to different jumpers to avoid confusion. Collect them after each session, wipe them clean, and store the set together so they're always ready for the next practice or meet.

The Gill LJ/TJ Take-Off Marker Set gives long jump and triple jump athletes a clear visual reference for hitting the take-off board on their approach. Bright, collapsible markers stand along the runway to guide steps and build a consistent, confident approach in both practice and warm-ups. Made from safe, collapsible plastic, they yield on contact rather than tripping an athlete, and they stack flat for easy transport and storage.

Key features & specs:

• Guides athletes to the horizontal-jumps take-off board
• Safe, collapsible plastic that yields on contact
• High-visibility markers for a consistent approach
• Stackable for easy transport and storage
• Sold as a set of 2

Coach's tip: Place the markers at each athlete's check marks so they can dial in a repeatable approach every rep. Keep a set in the event bag for meets and warm-ups, and wipe them down before stacking them away to keep the bright colors clean and visible.

The Gill Sand Pit Leveler levels a long jump or triple jump pit quickly and precisely, replacing back-breaking hand raking with a single smooth pass. The 10-foot steel bar spans the pit and glides across on adjustable guides, leaving a flat, competition-ready surface in seconds so officials can reset between jumps and keep the event moving. It is a facility upgrade that saves labor and improves consistency at every meet.

Key features & specs:

• 10' long steel leveler flattens the pit in one pass
• Two 40" long wired handles for two-person operation
• Adjustable guides glide the leveler smoothly across the pit
• Powder-coated in architectural gray for corrosion resistance
• Eliminates slow, uneven hand raking

Coach's tip: Set the guide height so the bar just skims the pit rim for a flat, even surface, and pull it in one steady pass. Rinse off clinging sand and store the leveler dry to protect the powder coat and keep it sliding smoothly.

The Gill Sand Pit Perimeter Pad adds protective cushioning around the edges of the long jump and triple jump sand pit, reducing injury risk when athletes land near the perimeter or step onto the border during competition and practice. It is a straightforward, high-value upgrade that brings an existing sand pit up to current safety expectations without a full renovation, protecting jumpers at every skill level from the hard edges that frame the landing area.

Key features & specs:

• Cushions the hard perimeter edges of long jump and triple jump pits
• Designed to meet NFHS safety recommendations
• Durable construction built for repeated outdoor use and weather exposure
• Complements Gill's full line of jumping-event equipment
• Simple addition to improve safety on an existing pit

Coach's tip: Fit the padding snugly around the full perimeter and check the anchoring before each season. Brush off sand and let the pads dry before storage to protect the vinyl cover and keep the foam performing year after year.

The Gill Sand Pit Broom is designed to move sand exactly where you need it around long jump and triple jump pits. Its combination of soft outer bristles and coarse inner bristles sweeps stray sand quickly back into the pit and off the surrounding runway and apron — keeping the competition area clean, safe, and looking sharp for every meet.

Key features & specs:

• Bristles: Soft outer bristles with coarse inner bristles to move sand quickly
• Handle: Guaranteed not to loosen
• Use: Sweeping stray sand back into long jump/triple jump pits
• Benefit: Keeps the runway and apron clean and safe
• Model: GP-453

Coach's tip: Sweep sand off the runway and apron between flights so athletes have clean, non-slip footing on their approach. Keep the broom with your pit shovel and rake as a complete maintenance kit, and store it indoors so the bristles hold their shape season after season.

The Gill Pit Rake keeps long jump and triple jump landing pits smooth, level, and competition-ready. Constructed from strong, durable aluminum with a wide 36" head, it lets the runway crew groom a large area of sand in just a few passes — essential for consistent, safe landings and accurate measurement between every jump.

Key features & specs:

• Head width: 36" wide for fast, efficient pit grooming
• Construction: Strong, durable aluminum
• Use: Leveling and smoothing long jump/triple jump sand pits
• Benefit: Covers a large area quickly for consistent, safe landing surfaces
• Model: GP-451

Coach's tip: Rake the pit level and flush with the runway before every flight so jumps land and measure fairly, and pull loose sand back from the edges to keep the pit full. Rinse the aluminum head after wet meets and store it with your shovel and broom as a complete pit-maintenance kit.

The Gill Pit Shovel is a rugged, purpose-built tool for maintaining long jump and triple jump landing pits. Its tempered steel blade cuts easily through packed sand to level, turn, and redistribute the pit between jumps and after practice, while the reinforced fiberglass handle stands up to daily use without the splintering or bending of cheaper tools.

Key features & specs:

• Blade: Tempered steel for durability and easy digging in packed sand
• Handle: Reinforced fiberglass for strength and long life
• Use: Leveling and maintaining long jump/triple jump sand pits
• Best for: Track and field programs maintaining jump runways
• Model: GP-450

Coach's tip: Keep a shovel, rake, and broom together as a pit-maintenance kit so the runway crew can reset the pit quickly between flights. Rinse sand off the blade after use and store the tool indoors so the steel stays clean and the handle lasts for years.
