Long jump/triple jump

In long jump, the athlete tries to jump as far as possible into the sand pit after a run-up. The take-off takes place on or before the take-off board. When the athlete goes beyond the permitted take-off zone, the attempt is invalid.

A good long jump facility consists of a run-up track, take-off board, sand pit and a clear layout around the jumping pit. Covers and sand trap elements help keep the jumping pit neat, safe and ready for use.

Triple jump, also called hop-step-jump, consists of three consecutive jumps: the hop, the step and the jump. Just like in long jump, the take-off board determines whether an attempt is valid and the distance is measured from the take-off line to the nearest mark in the sand.

For triple jump, a correct take-off facility is important, because different age groups and competition levels may require different take-off positions. That is why it is wise to carefully consider the design of the boards and the layout of the jumping location.

The take-off board is an essential part of the jumping facility. The board marks the point of take-off and helps officials determine whether an attempt is valid. Take-off boards are available in different designs, depending on the use and competition level.

A good take-off board must be sturdy, level and clearly visible. Its connection to the ground frame and the run-up track is also important for safe and correct use.

Sand trap elements are used around the jumping pit to keep sand inside the pit better and limit dirt ingress. This contributes to a neat facility and reduces maintenance of the area around the sand pit.

For managers, sand trap elements are practical because the jumping pit and surrounding paving are easier to keep clean. In addition, they provide a neat finish to the jumping facility.

A multiplex artificial grass cover offers a sturdier and more presentable solution for covering the jumping pit. This design can be used when the sand pit needs extra protection or when the jumping location needs to be finished neatly from a visual standpoint.

A good cover helps keep the jumping pit clean and usable for longer. This saves maintenance time and contributes to a safe sports environment.

In long jump and triple jump, the sand pit is used intensively. Sand spreads quickly outside the pit and dirt can affect the quality of the landing zone. That is why sand trap elements and covers are valuable additions.

With the right facilities, the jumping pit remains better protected, more orderly and ready for use more quickly for training and competitions.

When setting up a facility for long jump and triple jump, it is important to look at the run-up track, take-off positions, board design, jumping pit, cover, sand retention and safety.

We are happy to help think along about the right combination of materials. This creates a practical, safe and competition-suitable jumping facility for athletics clubs, schools and sports facilities.

For long jump and triple jump you need, among other things, a run-up track, take-off board, jumping pit and sand. For a complete setup, blanking boards, sand trap elements and covers are also recommended.

A long jump pit can be covered with a mesh fabric cover or with a plywood artificial grass cover. The right choice depends on the desired protection, appearance and usage situation.

In long jump, the distance is measured from the take-off line to the nearest mark the athlete makes in the sand pit.

In long jump, the athlete makes one jump from the take-off board into the sand pit. In triple jump, the jump consists of three phases: hop, step and jump.

Yes, we can advise on the complete setup for long jump and triple jump. In doing so, we look at take-off boards, the jump pit, covers, sand trap elements, safety and competition use.
