Throwing Event Equipment

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:

• Material: Cast aluminum for rigidity and long service life
• Fit: Designed for surface-mount (level pad) shot circles
• Compatibility: Works with the 372 and 373 shot circles
• Compliance: Meets NFHS specifications
• Model: GP-364

Coach's tip: Match this level-pad board to surface-mount 372/373 circles — not depressed installs — so it sits flush and legal. Verify the anchoring before every session for safe, foul-accurate throws, and wipe the board clean after wet meets to protect the painted contact edge.

The Gill Shot Toeboard (Aluminum, Depressed Pad) is the premium, competition-grade stop board for shot put circles, cast from durable aluminum for a rigid, long-lasting contact edge. Designed for a 3/4" depressed surface and IAAF certified, it's the choice for programs and facilities that host sanctioned meets and want a toeboard that meets the highest specifications.

Key features & specs:

• Material: Cast aluminum for maximum rigidity and durability
• 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; 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.

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 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 Fiber Sport Implement Carry Bag is purpose-built for safely transporting throws implements — javelins, discuses, and shot puts — to and from competition and practice. Designed with track and field programs in mind, it protects expensive implements from damage during transport and storage while keeping a coach's or thrower's equipment organized and competition-ready. For any school building out its throws inventory, it's a smart, practical investment that pays for itself by extending the life of far pricier gear.

Key features & specs:

• Purpose: Safe transport and storage for throws implements — javelins, discuses, and shot puts
• Construction: Durable build that stands up to the rigors of regular meet and practice use
• Organization: Keeps implements grouped together and easy to load, carry, and account for
• Best for: Track and field programs managing a full throws equipment set
• Model: Fiber Sport, SKU 1000009

Coach's tip: Wipe down implements and let them dry before bagging so moisture and grit don't sit against the equipment in storage. Store the loaded bag off the floor in a dry equipment room, and do a quick count after every meet so nothing gets left behind at the venue.

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.
