The Importance of Specialized Implement Transport
For an athletic director or track coach, managing a full inventory of shot puts and discus is a heavy-lift—literally. Relying on generic duffel bags or carrying implements by hand often leads to torn fabric, dropped equipment, and unnecessary physical strain. Our 2026 collection of shot and discus carriers focuses on institutional-grade durability. These carriers are specifically engineered with reinforced stitching and high-tensile materials to distribute the concentrated weight of steel and iron implements, ensuring they don't shift or break through the bottom of the bag.
Durable Solutions for Every Thrower
We stock specifically chosen carriers to accommodate various squad sizes and implement types:
- Single Implement Slings: Ideal for individual athletes, these compact carriers are usually made of heavy-duty PVC or reinforced nylon. They provide a secure "nest" for a single shot put or discus, featuring a comfortable handle for easy transport between the ring and the bus.
- Multi-Implement Bags: For coaches managing a full flight, our multi-load bags feature internal dividers. These keep discus from clanking together and prevent shot puts from rolling, protecting the finish of your competition implements and making it easy to verify your inventory at the end of practice.
- Weather-Resistant Materials: Throwing events happen in all conditions. Our carriers are primarily constructed from moisture-resistant vinyl and heavy-denier polyester, ensuring that mud and rain stay off your gear and your equipment room stays clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Will a standard shot put bag also hold a discus?
While some multi-purpose bags can hold both, they are usually designed differently. Shot put carriers are deeper and reinforced for spherical weight, whereas discus carriers are flatter and often include circular slots to prevent the edges of the discus from chipping or warping during transport. We recommend using the carrier specific to the implement for the best protection.
2. How much weight can a "Single Shot" carrier handle?
Our single carriers are designed to accommodate all regulation weights, from the 6lb youth shot up to the 16lb (7.26kg) men’s collegiate shot. They are constructed with reinforced webbing that wraps entirely around the implement to prevent the handle from ripping away under high-stress loads.
3. Are the carriers washable?
Yes. Most of our carriers are made from vinyl or heavy-duty nylon. They can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove field grit and mud. We recommend air-drying them completely before storing implements for the off-season to prevent rust.
4. Can these carriers fit indoor "soft" implements?
Absolutely. Our carriers are sized to fit standard outdoor implements, which means they easily accommodate the slightly larger diameter of indoor rubber or poly-shell shot puts and discus.
5. Do the bags have shoulder straps or just hand grips?
Single carriers typically feature a reinforced hand grip for precision carrying. Larger multi-implement bags often include padded shoulder straps to help coaches distribute the weight across their backs when moving a full set of gear to the infield.
6. Do you accept school purchase orders for throwing accessories?
Yes. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for over nine decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and coaches can easily submit a formal PO to purchase carriers, implement carts, shots, and discus for their entire program.
