Choosing the right discus
Our discus collection is grouped by usage and weight, so you can find the right one quickly. Filter by competition, training, indoor or accessories, or search by brand and World Athletics classification if you need a discus that meets specific competition rules. Use the tiles above the products to jump straight to competition discus, training discus, bags and side plates, or to a single brand. If you are not sure where to start, our guide to choosing the right discus explains what to look for, and you can compare discuses side by side by weight and brand using the filters.
Competition and training discus
Whether you are looking for a competition discus for meets or something tougher for everyday practice, the range covers both. Competition discus are built to World Athletics specifications, while training discus are designed for repeated use, drills and skill development. Choosing between the two comes down to how the discus will be used, and many athletes and clubs buy a mix of both.
Competition discus
The competition range includes the Nordic Valkyrie and Valhalla, ATE Supra Black and Indra, Denfi Space Traveller, Skymaster, Hyper Super Spin and Jurgen Schult Ultimate Spin, and Nelco discus such as the Odyssey, Gold Discus and Superspin Black & Steel Rim Glide 70m. Polanik and ATE also offer competition discus, and Nelco Olympia and ATE Olympian Superspin discus are available in blue or yellow. Use the World Athletics (IAAF) filter to see the discus that meet competition requirements, and the weight filter to find the right weight for your athlete.
Training discus
Our training discus and tools include solid and laminated wooden discus, overweight wooden training discus, Nelco overweight and underweight training discus, an adjustable training discus, and rubber and strapped rubber discus for drills. The Discus Tool Training Aid, a ball on a chain with a handle, is also available for throws training. If you are building a training programme, our guide on how to get better at discus is a good place to start, and our discus drills by England Throws Camp give you drills to work on.
Discus weights, from school to senior competition
Senior competition discus weigh 2kg for men and 1kg for women, so the 1kg discus and the 2kg discus are two of the most popular choices across the range. Below that we stock a full range of junior and school weights, from 750g down to 200g, plus overweight and underweight training discus for building strength and technique. The weight filter also shows 1.25kg, 1.5kg and 1.75kg options, and heavier training weights up to 4kg. Not sure which weight is right? Our guide to throwing weight rules for shot, discus, javelin and hammer throw covers this in more detail, and you can also ask our experts.

The Neuff PVC Primary Discus is a soft foam discus that suits beginners, children and para athletes, and the Nelco Challenger is a 750g beginner low-spin discus. For indoor sessions, the Quoit Rings 10 pack and a net bag that holds four primary discus are useful extras for schools and clubs.
