Throwing Event Equipment

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.
