I coach at school that does not have access to an indoor track facility. We can use an indoor field that's about 40 yards long, but do not have access to an actual track.
Is anyone else in the same situation, and if yes, what do you do to ensure your jumpers and throwers can practice, despite not having jumping pits and throwing cages?
is there any outdoor area near you? Like a parking lot, a field, a street, a park . . . some people even wear gloves and hats.
seriously, how many high schools have an indoor track facility? 1%?

I had my shot putters throw indoor shots in a stairwell. Withour pits all my jumpers could do was work on the approach and get comfortable with their step patterns.
Fortunately you don't need much space to work on drills for any of the technical events.

We are in Minnesota and unfortunately can't do much outdoor training from December to February.

We are a college.
