The Standard for Field Event Visibility
Nobody likes squinting from the bleachers to figure out the last jump's distance. In the high-stakes environment of a track and field meet, a professional jump indicator board is an essential tool for keeping the crowd engaged and the athletes informed. Our 2026 collection focuses on institutional-grade performance indicators that offer crisp, high-contrast numerals and rugged portability. These aren't just for show; they are vital components for sanctioned meets where transparency and official communication are required by the NFHS and NCAA.
Versatile Displays for Every Vertical and Horizontal Event
We provide specifically chosen display solutions to help your officials manage the pit with efficiency and style.
- Multi-Digit Performance Indicators: We offer 3-digit, 4-digit, and 5-digit boards to suit the needs of your specific events.3-Digit Boards: Perfect for vertical jumps (High Jump and Pole Vault) where heights are measured in smaller increments.4-Digit & 5-Digit Boards: The gold standard for horizontal jumps (Long Jump and Triple Jump), allowing officials to display feet, inches, and fractions, or full metric measurements with ease.
- Built for the Elements: Outdoor track seasons can be unpredictable. Our indicator boards feature weather-resistant finishes and high-impact plastic digits that won't fade in the sun or warp in the rain.
- Stable and Portable Bases: Each board is designed with a weighted base or a sturdy "H" frame to prevent tipping in high winds, while remaining light enough for a single event worker to move from the equipment shed to the pit in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How many digits do I need for a Long Jump indicator board?
For most high school programs using imperial measurements, a 4-digit board is sufficient to show distance (e.g., 22' 06"). However, if your program uses metric measurements or you are hosting collegiate-level meets, a 5-digit board is recommended to handle the extra decimal precision required for record-breaking marks.
2. Are the digits easy to flip and change?
Yes. Our indicator boards utilize a manual "flip" or "scroll" system with high-contrast white numbers on a black background. They are designed to be changed in seconds by an official or student volunteer between jumps, ensuring the meet keeps moving.
3. Will these boards blow over in the wind?
The boards we stock are designed for outdoor use and feature wide, stable bases. In extremely high-wind conditions, we recommend placing a standard sandbag over the base plate for added security, though the low-profile design of the digits themselves helps minimize wind resistance.
4. Can these boards be used for throwing events as well?
Absolutely. While listed under "Jump Indicators," these performance boards are universal. The 4 and 5-digit models are frequently used at the Shot Put and Discus circles to display distances to the crowd and the media.
5. Is there a "package" option for outfitting an entire stadium?
Yes. We offer Performance Indicator Packages (often in sets of 6) which allow you to outfit all of your jumping and throwing sectors at a discounted bulk rate. This ensures a uniform, professional look across your entire facility.
6. Do you accept school purchase orders for field indicators?
Definitely. Morley Athletic has a long-standing history of working with school districts and universities. We accept formal purchase orders and can provide a digital quote for your athletic director to simplify the procurement process.
