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
• Restores full throw containment and cage compliance

Coach's tip: Confirm your cage is the Gill 732230 model before ordering so the net fits correctly. Inspect a new net's tension and attachment points before first use, and replace any cage net promptly once you spot fraying or holes to keep the enclosure safe and legal.

The Gill International Implement Cart (Combo) is an all-in-one solution for storing and transporting a complete throws arsenal to and from the field. HDPE liners cradle and protect each implement, while never-flat rubber casters roll easily over rough infield terrain. A built-in chalk bag and extra storage space make this the single cart a throws coach needs to keep every implement secured, organized, and ready for competition.

Key features & specs:

• Holds 8 discuses, 8 shot puts, 6 hammers, and 9 javelins
• HDPE liners keep each implement secured and protected
• 8" never-flat rubber casters for easy movement over rough terrain
• Steel construction with a durable powder-coat finish
• Includes a chalk bag and extra storage for an all-in-one setup

Coach's tip: Load the heaviest implements low and centered so the cart rolls stable across the infield, and count implements back in after each session using the capacity as a checklist. Wipe implements dry before loading and store the cart under cover to prevent rust.

The Gill Portable Shot Cage adds a critical safety barrier around the shot put ring and can be deployed or stored as needed, making it ideal for programs that share facilities or host multi-event meets. Four aluminum net poles support a tall netting wall that contains off-target throws, while a steel base on wheels rolls into position and weights down with the included jugs for a stable, secure setup.

• Cuts moisture and sweat for a surer hold
• Useful across pole vault, throws, and other grip-dependent events
• Convenient 1 lb box
• Affordable staple for team equipment carts

Coach's tip: Apply a light, even coat rather than caking it on, which actually reduces grip. Keep the box sealed and dry between uses so the chalk stays fine and clump-free, and store it away from your pole grips and finished surfaces to keep them clean.

The Gill Hardshell Javelin Tube gives coaches peace of mind when transporting valuable javelins to and from competition. Its rigid ABS plastic shell guards against the impacts, bends, and rough handling that can ruin a precision implement, while a removable shoulder strap makes it easy to carry a full set across a busy meet infield. The universal, adjustable design fits the full range of school and club javelins, protecting your throwers' most important gear.

• Designed for team transport to and from meets and practice

Coach's tip: Load the highest-value or competition javelins into the protective tubes and pack training implements around them. Wipe javelins dry before storing to prevent moisture buildup inside the bag, and hang or lay it flat so the shafts stay straight.

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 Javelin/Hammer Adjustable Back Brace gives throwers firm lumbar support during the explosive, rotational demands of the javelin and hammer. Eight supportive steel springs conform to the back to stabilize the lower spine, while adjustable elastic straps let each athlete dial in the exact tension they need — a smart support piece for hard-training throwers.

Key features & specs:

• Support: Eight steel springs conform to the back for firm lumbar support
• Main band: 9" high elastic band for broad support
• Adjustability: Second 4" outer elastic straps allow adjustable tension
• Fit: Tapered cut for men and women; one size fits waists 28"–50" (71–127 cm)
• Model: GP-4581

Coach's tip: Fit the brace snugly over the hips with the springs centered on the lower back, then set the outer straps for firm-but-mobile support before throwing. A brace supports good mechanics but doesn't replace them — pair it with a proper warm-up and core work, and see a trainer or medical professional for any ongoing back pain.

The Gill Championship Portable Indoor Shot/Weight Throw Circle brings a full competition-quality throwing platform to any gym or fieldhouse — no permanent installation required. Its two interlocking sections lock together into a solid 8' x 8' throwing surface and break down with spring-loaded handles for easy handling and storage, making it the go-to solution for hosting indoor throws meets.

Key features & specs:

• Durability: Powder-coated finish for weather and wear resistance
• Compliance: Meets NFHS specifications
• Model: GP-371

Coach's tip: Install on a level, cured concrete pad and use the included anchor bolts at every point so the ring sits flush and won't shift under a thrower's rotation. Inspect the anchors each preseason and touch up any chips in the powder coat to keep the steel from rusting outdoors.

The Gill Indoor Circle Throwing Surface addresses the most overlooked variable in indoor throwing events — what's underfoot. A proper hard throwing surface inside the ring is the difference between confident, technically sound throws and slipping, inconsistent footwork that undermines an athlete's mechanics. This three-piece birch plywood insert installs directly onto the circle and meets full competition standards.

• • Premium 3/4" 7-Ply Birch Plywood — Dense, high-grade birch plywood construction provides a rigid, non-compressible throwing platform that resists the repeated lateral and downward forces of shot put and weight throw footwork — maintaining a flat, stable surface through an entire indoor season of practice sessions and competition use without warping or developing soft spots
  • Three-Piece Modular Construction — Surface is divided into three separate sections that fasten to the underside of Gill's Indoor Shot/Weight Throw Circle, covering the full interior of the ring with a seamless, flush throwing platform that installs and removes cleanly without permanent attachment to the gymnasium floor
  • Designed Specifically for Gill Indoor Circle — Engineered to attach directly to the underside frame of Gill's Indoor Shot/Weight Throw Circle as a factory-compatible accessory, ensuring a precise fit with no gaps between the plywood surface and the aluminum ring band that could catch an athlete's foot during rotational movement
  • Consistent Footing Across All Throw Phases — Hard birch surface delivers uniform traction and grip characteristics from the back of the ring through the power position and release, giving throwers the predictable underfoot feel needed to execute technically demanding rotational shot put and weight throw technique with full confidence
  • Eliminates the Problem of Bare Gymnasium Floors — Indoor gymnasium surfaces — whether hardwood, rubber, or synthetic — vary in grip, texture, and hardness in ways that directly affect throw consistency and athlete safety; the birch plywood insert standardizes the throwing surface regardless of what the underlying gym floor is made of
  • NFHS, NCAA, and IAAF Compliant — Meets all governing body specifications for indoor shot put and weight throw competition at the high school, collegiate, and international level, making it a competition-legal surface for sanctioned indoor meets without requiring permanent facility construction or modification

The Gill Indoor Shot/Weight Throw Circle gives programs a portable, competition-legal throwing ring for indoor shot put and weight throw.

• Setup: Portable; installs in seconds with no permanent fixtures
• Compliance: Meets NFHS, NCAA, and World Athletics specifications; IAAF certified
• Model: GP-3622

Coach's tip: Seat all seven sections fully so the ring sits flush and continuous before any throw, and pair it with a single-circle hammer cage for safe practice. Store the sections stacked and out of prolonged sun, and count them back in after each session so the set stays complete.

The Gill Add-On Weight is an economical way to fine-tune the load of your hammer or indoor throwing weights without buying a full set of additional implements. Its stackable half-pound plates let coaches dial in exactly the resistance an athlete needs for progressive training — a budget-smart tool for developing throwers across the season.

Key features & specs:

• Use: Adds variable weight to hammer or indoor throwing weights
• Contents: Comprised of five 0.5 lb weights
• Range: Provides a 0.5 lb – 2.5 lb adjustment range
• Value: Economical alternative to buying additional full implements
• Model: GP-3603

Coach's tip: Use the add-on plates to bridge weight classes during training so athletes progress gradually rather than jumping straight to a heavier implement. Confirm the total weight meets your competition spec before any sanctioned throw, and store the plates together in a labeled bin so the set stays complete.

The Gill Shot Toeboard (Aluminum, Level Pad) is the surface-mount version of Gill's premium cast-aluminum stop board, built for shot put circles installed flush with the surrounding surface. Its rigid aluminum construction delivers a durable, regulation contact edge that stands up to years of competition and practice throws.

Key features & specs:

• Compatibility: Works with 366, 369, and 374 shot circles and the 3741 form
• Compliance: Meets NFHS, NCAA, and World Athletics specifications; IAAF certified
• Model: GP-363

Coach's tip: Confirm your circle uses a depressed (3/4") pad before ordering so the aluminum board seats flush and legal. Check the anchoring before each session, and wipe the board down after wet meets — aluminum won't rot, but keeping it clean protects the painted contact surface throwers rely on.

The Gill Shot Toeboard (Synthetic, Level Pad) is the surface-mount version of Gill's durable polyethylene stop board, built for shot put circles installed flush with the surrounding pad. Molded from low-density polyethylene, it delivers the reliable, regulation-legal contact edge throwers need while standing up to season after season of hard use.

Key features & specs:

• Material: Molded low-density polyethylene
• Fit: Designed for surface-mount (level pad) shot circles
• Compatibility: Works with the 372 aluminum and 373 steel shot circles
• Compliance: Meets NFHS specifications
• Model: GP-359

Coach's tip: Match the toeboard to your circle type — this level-pad version pairs with surface-mount 372 and 373 circles, not depressed installs. Confirm it's anchored flush and secure before every session so throws stay legal and safe, and store it out of prolonged sun to protect the synthetic material.

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 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.
