Physical Education

Spartan Athletic Co. supplies physical education equipment to school districts, PE departments, recreation programs, and youth activity organizations. Our inventory covers both structured and free-play PE needs — from playground balls, foam balls, and dodgeballs to game cones, poly hoops, and floor spot markers — sourced from established manufacturers including Voit and MacGregor. Purchase orders and tax-exempt procurement are supported. A quote builder is available for programs that need itemized proposals prior to submitting to purchasing departments.

Physical Education Equipment — Buyer's Guide

PE Balls — Playground, Foam, and Multi-Sport

Ball inventory is the core procurement need for most physical education programs. We carry a full range of PE-specific ball types across multiple manufacturers to cover the breadth of activities run in a standard elementary, middle, and high school gym program.

Playground balls from Voit are available in standard and low-bounce configurations in 6-packs for classroom-scale procurement. Low-bounce models are well-suited for indoor use where ball control and reduced rebound are priorities in confined gym spaces. Bouncee foam balls in 6.25" and 8.25" sizes provide a softer, lower-impact option appropriate for younger students or activities requiring a gentler ball feel.

Dodgeballs are available in the standard Voit Tuff 6.25" configuration used across most scholastic dodgeball programs, with color sets available for programs that use ball color to organize teams or drill stations. Coated foam footballs are available in sets of six in 8.5" and 9.75" sizes, providing a safe throwing option for flag football and passing skill units. Multi-sport starter sets and MacGregor Xtra Ball packages provide a mixed-ball inventory solution for programs building out a new equipment room or replacing a full ball inventory at once.

Game Cones

Game cones are one of the highest-turnover consumable items in a PE department — they are used for boundary marking, station identification, agility courses, and team color-coding across nearly every unit in a PE curriculum. We carry cones in four sizes: 6", 12", 18", and 28", available in multi-color sets of six.

Smaller 6" and 12" cones are suitable for station markers, boundary lines, and agility ladder setups where low-profile markers are preferred. Larger 18" and 28" cones provide higher visibility for boundary marking on larger playing surfaces, outdoor fields, and gymnasium perimeters. Color My Class sets include multiple colors in each pack, which simplifies team and station organization without requiring separate purchases per color.

Spot Markers and Floor Spots

Spot markers and floor spots are used for student positioning, movement circuits, balance activities, and classroom management in PE settings. Flat spots lie flush against gym floors without creating a trip hazard, making them safe for use in activities where students are moving at speed. Orange spots and multi-color spot sets are available for programs that use color to assign groups or mark specific positions within a drill or game setup.

Poly Rings and Hoops

Poly rings are a versatile PE activity item used for hoop rolling, target tossing, agility courses, and cooperative games. Premium No-Kink hoops are available in 12-packs in multiple diameter sizes, with a construction that resists the warping and flattening common in lower-grade hoops after extended use. Multi-color sets allow easy group and station identification across large class sizes.

Activity Accessories

Lock-in crossbars pair with game cones to create adjustable hurdle and agility course setups without additional equipment. These are a practical solution for PE teachers running track and field units or agility circuits who need adjustable height markers that set up and break down quickly between class periods.
