The Gill Elastic Krossband is a training crossbar that takes the fear out of learning to clear height in the pole vault and high jump. Instead of a rigid bar, it uses a bright fluorescent orange elastic cord with foam sections — so athletes get a clear visual target and honest feedback on clearance without the intimidation or risk of a hard fiberglass bar.
Key features & specs:
Type: Elastic training crossbar for pole vault and high jump
Cord: Bright fluorescent orange for high visibility
Sections: 1" diameter foam sections along the cord
Benefit: Builds confidence and technique without a rigid bar
Model: GP-528
Coach's tip: Use the Krossband for beginners and height-progression drills so athletes commit fully without fearing a hard bar, then transition to a competition crossbar. Store it loosely coiled to preserve the elastic's stretch, and keep it out of prolonged sun to protect the foam and cord.
