Why Choose Champro Shot Puts

Champro shot puts deliver the quality and compliance track and field programs need without the premium pricing of specialty brands. Every Champro shot put is manufactured to meet NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations) and NCAA specifications for weight, diameter, and construction. The precision-cast iron construction ensures accurate weight distribution and balanced flight characteristics, while the smooth finish provides consistent grip and release for developing throwers and experienced competitors alike.

Beyond competition compliance, Champro shot puts are built for the demands of daily practice and training. The durable cast iron construction withstands thousands of throws on concrete, grass, and dedicated throwing surfaces without chipping, cracking, or losing weight accuracy. This durability makes Champro shot puts ideal for high-volume training programs where products take constant abuse. Schools and clubs choose Champro because they can outfit entire throwing programs - from beginner youth athletes to varsity competitors - with quality products at budget-friendly wholesale pricing.

How to Choose the Right Shot Put Weight

By Competition Level & Gender

Shot put weights are strictly regulated by competition level and gender. Youth and middle school girls use 6lb (2.72kg) shot puts. Junior high girls move to 8lb (3.63kg), while high school girls use 12lb (5.45kg) or 4kg depending on state regulations. High school and college men use 16lb (7.26kg) shot puts. Youth and middle school boys typically start with 6lb or 8lb before progressing to 12lb in junior high. Always verify your state athletic association and competition rules, as some states use metric weights (4kg, 5kg, 6kg, 7.26kg) while others use imperial (6lb, 8lb, 12lb, 16lb).

By Training vs Competition Use

Most programs maintain separate shot puts for daily practice and competition. Practice shot puts endure constant use on various surfaces and benefit from Champro's durable cast iron construction that resists damage from concrete and asphalt. Competition shot puts should be reserved for meets and final preparations to maintain their smooth finish and precise weight. Many coaches purchase multiple practice shot puts in each weight class (typically 2-4 per weight) plus one competition-grade shot put for meets. This approach extends product life and ensures athletes always have properly weighted shot puts for training.

By Athlete Development & Progression

Developing throwers benefit from training with multiple weight classes to build strength and refine technique. Beginners should master form with lighter shot puts before progressing to competition weights. Many programs use a progression system - youth athletes start with 6lb, advance to 8lb as strength develops, then move to 12lb or 16lb for high school competition. Having shot puts in 2-3 weight classes allows coaches to adjust training loads based on athlete development, injury recovery, or technique work. Lighter shot puts help athletes focus on speed and technique, while heavier shot puts build strength and power.

By Program Size & Budget

Program size determines how many shot puts you need. Small programs (5-10 throwers) typically need 2-3 shot puts per weight class. Medium programs (10-20 throwers) should stock 4-6 per weight class to minimize wait time during practice. Large programs (20+ throwers) may need 8-10 shot puts per weight class for efficient training sessions. Budget-conscious programs can start with Champro's affordable cast iron shot puts for practice use, adding competition-grade products as budgets allow. Champro's competitive wholesale pricing makes it feasible to properly equip programs of any size without compromising quality or safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

What weight shot put do high school girls use?
High school girls use 12lb (5.45kg) shot puts for NFHS competition. Some states use the metric 4kg weight. Always verify your state athletic association rules, as regulations can vary. Junior high girls typically use 8lb (3.63kg), while youth and middle school girls start with 6lb (2.72kg).

What weight shot put do high school boys use?
High school boys use 16lb (7.26kg) shot puts for NFHS and NCAA competition. This is the standard weight for men's competition from high school through college and international meets. Junior high boys typically use 12lb, while youth athletes start with 6lb or 8lb.

Are Champro shot puts NFHS and NCAA approved?
Yes. Champro shot puts meet NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations) and NCAA specifications for weight, diameter, and construction. They are legal for high school and college competition when properly maintained and within weight tolerances.

What's the difference between cast iron and steel shot puts?
Cast iron shot puts like Champro's TSC series offer excellent durability and value for practice and competition. They feature smooth finishes and accurate weight distribution at affordable prices. Steel shot puts are typically more expensive and used primarily for elite competition. For most high school and club programs, cast iron shot puts provide the quality and compliance needed at budget-friendly pricing.

How many shot puts does a track program need?
Most programs need 2-4 shot puts per weight class for efficient practice sessions. Small programs (5-10 throwers) can start with 2-3 per weight, while larger programs (20+ throwers) may need 6-10 per weight class to minimize wait time. Having multiple shot puts allows simultaneous throwing, technique work, and reduces wear on competition shot puts.

Do shot puts wear out or need replacement?
Cast iron shot puts are extremely durable but will show wear over time, especially with heavy practice use on concrete or asphalt. Surface pitting, weight loss from material wear, and finish degradation are signs a shot put needs replacement. Competition shot puts should be replaced when they no longer meet weight specifications or show significant surface damage. Practice shot puts can be used longer but should be replaced when safety or performance is compromised.

Can I mix metric and imperial weight shot puts in my program?
Yes, but be aware of the differences. 4kg equals 8.8lb, 5.45kg equals 12lb, and 7.26kg equals 16lb. Some athletes train with both systems depending on competition requirements. International competitions use metric weights, while many U.S. high school competitions use imperial. Having both allows athletes to train for any competition format.
