FAQ
Is this pit suitable for high school or collegiate programs?
No - the Fisher Jr. High Jump Pit is designed specifically for junior high track programs. The sizes and dimensions are geared toward younger athletes and are not intended for use in more advanced programs. For high school or collegiate use, Fisher Athletic offers larger high jump pit models better suited to those levels of competition.
What is the difference between the 18" and 24" height models?
Both models share the same 12'W x 6'D footprint. The primary difference is landing height - the 24" model provides greater cushion height, which can be beneficial for athletes jumping from higher bar heights or for coaches who prefer added safety margin. The 18" model is the standard option for most junior high programs just starting out.
Are weather and ground covers included with the pit?
No, covers are sold separately as optional accessories. A weather cover is available for each model (WC61218 for the 18" pit, WC61224 for the 24" pit), and a universal ground cover (GC612) fits both models. These are strongly recommended if the pit will be stored outdoors or in areas exposed to moisture.
What warranty does the Fisher Jr. High Jump Pit carry?
The pit is backed by a full 10-year warranty from Fisher Athletic, covering the materials and construction of the pit. This reflects the brand's confidence in the durability of their heavy-duty 18 oz. vinyl construction.
