Tempered steel shovel with reinforced fiberglass handle.

This composite take-off board and base board combination is designed specifically for the Gill 444 System, giving facilities a reliable, low-maintenance upgrade over traditional wood boards. The Polyboard composite surface resists the warping, splitting, and cracking that shortens the life of wooden boards, making it a practical long-term investment for high school and college programs.

• • Polyboard Composite Surface – Environmentally friendly, waterproof composite material that will not warp, split, or crack under repeated impact and outdoor conditions, offering significantly longer lifespan than wood
  • Reversible Board Design – Take-off board can be flipped to extend usable life, reducing replacement frequency and overall maintenance costs for track facilities
  • Adjustable Aluminum Base Board – Allows precise horizontal and vertical leveling to achieve a flush, competition-legal fit within the installation tray without requiring full board removal during adjustments
  • NFHS and NCAA Certified – Meets governing body specifications for high school and collegiate long jump and triple jump competition, making it suitable for sanctioned meets at both levels
  • Superior Grip Surface – Textured composite top provides consistent, reliable traction at the take-off point, supporting confident jumps and reducing the risk of slipping during competition

This board is the standalone composite replacement for facilities that already have the Gill 444 System installed and need to swap out a worn or damaged take-off board without replacing the full system. The Polyboard composite surface maintains consistent grip and structural integrity through heavy seasonal use, eliminating the warping and cracking issues common with wood boards.

• • 444 System Compatible – Designed specifically as a direct replacement for Gill 444 Take-Off Board System installations, fitting precisely without modification or additional hardware
  • 8" Wide Polyboard Composite Surface – Waterproof, environmentally friendly composite material resists splitting, cracking, and warping across all weather conditions and heavy use cycles
  • Superior Grip for Jumpers – Textured composite surface provides reliable traction at the take-off point, supporting confident, consistent launches in both training and competition
  • Longer Lifespan Than Wood – Composite construction holds up far longer than traditional plywood boards, reducing how often facilities need to order replacements and cutting long-term maintenance costs
  • College Competition Ready – Meets NCAA specifications for sanctioned long jump and triple jump events at the collegiate level

The College Take-Off Board Installation Tray serves as the foundation of a properly built long jump or triple jump runway setup. Constructed from 3/16" formed and welded aluminum, it is embedded directly into the runway surface and holds the take-off and foul boards flush with the surrounding track, creating a safe and competition-legal jumping zone.

• • Heavy-Duty Welded Aluminum Construction – Formed from 3/16" thick aluminum and fully welded for structural rigidity, ensuring the tray remains stable and level through years of permanent installation and heavy athlete use
  • Flush Runway Integration – Engineered to sit level with the surrounding track surface, eliminating raised edges or gaps that could affect athlete safety or take-off mechanics during competition
  • Replacement-Friendly Design – Protects the take-off area and allows straightforward swapping of take-off and foul boards without disturbing the tray or runway structure, reducing facility downtime during changeovers
  • Multi-Standard Compliant – Meets High School (NFHS), NCAA, and IAAF specifications, making it a suitable permanent installation for facilities that host events across multiple competition levels
  • Compatible with Gill 444 System – Designed to work with Gill's college take-off board components, including composite and wood board options, providing a complete and cohesive runway system
