SELECTING THE BEST TYPE OF PIT

There are two basic types of pits:

  1. Solid Foam or Log Constructed Porta-Pit/ Resi-Pit
  2. Loose Foam Training Pits

There are obvious differences in design, construction, and use. The design phase is important to determine the projected use for the event or events that the pit will be used. Safety of the athlete is the utmost concern. Pits must be of adequate size and shape for the event it is to be used. There is no minimum safety standard established to date that are specific to the design and construction of the Pit System.
