Gear Up for Summer: Top Outdoor Products from AK Athletics
Summer is here — bringing sunshine, sports, and plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun. It’s the perfect season to upgrade your school, facility, or home gym with safe, durable, and high-quality athletic padding and equipment.
At AK Athletics, we’re ready to help you gear up with summer-ready products designed to enhance safety, performance, and enjoyment all season long. Whether you're preparing for next season or making your outdoor areas more inviting, now’s the time to make the most of summer and elevate your space.
Top Summer-Ready Products from AK Athletics
AK Athletics offers a wide range of weather-resistant, UV-stable products specifically designed to meet the demands of summer sports and outdoor activities.
Outdoor wall pads are one of the most popular upgrades for summer. Designed with 3-inch thick foam and UV-resistant vinyl, these pads provide reliable protection around outdoor courts and sports fields while standing up to the elements. They're ideal for baseball, tennis, or multi-use school courts where safety is a concern.
If you’re looking to make chain-link fences or metal bleachers safer, fence and rail padding is a must-have. These pads add a professional finish while reducing the risk of injury in high-traffic athletic spaces like dugouts and batting cages. Custom sizing and color matching are available to complement your school or team branding.
For football and soccer fields, goal post pads offer impact protection that’s both functional and eye-catching. AK Athletics also manufactures pole pads in a variety of sizes to fit columns, volleyball posts, or structural poles. These pads don’t just prevent injury — they also provide opportunities for customization with school colors, logos, or mascots.

Summer is also a great time to consider portable flooring solutions like roll-up wrestling mats. These mats are lightweight, easy to store, and quick to set up, making them perfect for summer camps, temporary training areas, or even backyard fitness zones.
Why Summer is the Perfect Time to Renovate Your Gym
While many teams take a break from regular practice during the summer, facility managers and athletic directors know it’s the perfect window to make upgrades. With fewer scheduling conflicts and more open time on the calendar, summer allows for a smooth renovation process without interrupting training or events.
Upgrading your gym's safety features should be a top priority. Replacing outdated wall pads or installing new pole protection ensures your facility remains compliant with safety standards while also giving your space a fresh, updated look. Adding custom branding to your padding not only improves visual appeal but also enhances school spirit and team identity.
If you’re designing a home gym, summer is a great time to evaluate your space and invest in equipment that offers flexibility and comfort. Roll-up mats and wall padding can transform garages, basements, or spare rooms into safe, professional-grade workout areas.
No matter the size or scope of your project, AK Athletics offers customizable solutions to help you meet your goals.
