It’s that time of the year again — Football season!  Anticipation is extremely high for players, fans, etc… as everyone looks forward to having a successful 2006-2007 season. One of the tools that athletic departments need from junior high, to high school, college, and professional football is a nice weighing scale.

Coaches and athletic trainers are always trying to keep an eye on players health and weight.  Having a reliable scale is a must. Also, think about when you read about your favorite team in a preseason publication or in a game program, you usually see the player’s weights listed. Scales are an important part of sports. We offer several different types of weigh scales, perfect for athletics. A lot of folks choose the old and trusty physician mechanical scale.  Others like the idea of a portable system that they can carry or easily move from location to location.  We’ve also seen departments buy scales with handrails to ease the entry/exit of the weigh platform.  Finally, the standard digital scale system.

These aren’t the only scales we offer — but they are good scales that have proven to be reliable choices in the past. Be sure to get your team going the right “weigh” today!
