New products...
We invest a great deal of time and money in product development in all of our product areas. A selection of our most recently released new products is included here.

As we add and remove products from this area regularly, please come back frequently to check out our recent releases.

We are currently featuring the following recent product developments:

  • our multi-height practice net - a standard four court hall can accommodate one matchplay volleyball court which makes volleyball practise in a PE lesson inefficient. Our full length multi-height practice net arrangement provides the flexibility you require to hold four volleyball practice games simultaneously.
  • our airtrack inflatable tumble track - increasingly gymnastics clubs need to share their space with other sports in shared use facilities. This means the time taken to set up and dismantle a fibre rod tumble track isn't practical. Also, fully equipped facilities are increasingly looking for training devices such as this that not only provide gymnasts with excellent training opportunities, but also provide a fun, exciting new device that can help to attract new gymnasts and therefore bolster club revenues.
  • our sports hall floor protection products - we have regularly been asked to supply floor protection products to help prevent damage to all types of sports hall and gymnasium floors (especially the attractive Junckers solid timber sprung floors installed by Continental). Customers regularly require a basic protection for exams - a canvas drugget is ideal, but increasingly in dual use facilities that have to generate the maximum income, the attractive result from using our Jumbo Carpet Tiles cannot be beaten.
  • our competition badminton posts - we have sold literally thousands of our badminton posts over many years. The standard posts are incredible value and are perfect for most school and leisure use. However, higher standard county and international players have been asking if we could make a competition badminton post to the same high quality standards as our other equipment. After consultation with the badminton governing bodies and top flight players, we are delighted to bring you our new competition / international badminton post
  • our Junior Gym range of training and development gymnastics apparatus for the younger gymnast - Incorporating a modular approach to building perfect training equipment similar to full size apparatus. Why settle for "flat pack" or "toy" equipment for your young gymnasts ? Now you don't have to - you can now buy Continental manufactured junior apparatus made to the same exacting standards, using the same materials as our full size competition gymnastics equipment.
  • our Trocellen Linkable Exercise mat - a breakthrough in general purpose exercise mat technology, utilising a sandwich construction of different high performance foams heat laminated together to deliver unheard of performance characteristics. This exercise mat can link to others to give larger exercise areas with no gaps between the mats.
  • our Modular foam vaulting table and dual height coaching block - Why buy a foam vaulting table which can only be used for vault training ? - This modular foam vaulting table system not only saves you money but also provides a dual use training aid - as well as a vault trainer, its lower two sections are carpet surface coaching blocks.
  • our martial arts, judo and wrestling mats from Trocellen - International Judo Federation, World Karate Federation and International Wrestling Federation approved linkable mats. These mats are currently in use in Athens for wrestling and we are now proud to have been selected as the sole UK distributor. To see the mats click here.
  • our 3-Gate Mat System™ designed for the Continental 3-gate steel Foldaway climbing frame. To see details of the climbing frame click here.

Competition badminton posts

New from Continental - our premier competition badminton posts are suitable for international badminton competition. From high level club badminton through county, national and international badminton, you cannot buy a better premier competition post.

And these are the only competition badminton posts available in the UK that are both freestanding but with the option of floor fixing when required (which we recommend for the highest level of competition play).

International Badminton Federation and Badminton Association of England compliant badminton posts:

  • No part of the post encroaches into the court
  • The headline is tensioned so as to achieve official height along its length (1550mm at the post) – when properly tensioned, the net headline is virtually horizontal which exceeds the official requirements that allow for some sagging (to 1524mm in the middle of the net)
  • No gaps between the sides of the net and the posts
  • Totally stable posts with four non-marking rubber feet including micro-adjustment to compensate for any fluctuations in floor surface

Continental Sports now brings you a premier badminton post to complement our full range of badminton equipment

Our competition badminton post with integral 60kg weight, net tensioning ratchet system, heavy duty wheels and many more features...Our competition badminton post with integral 60kg weight, net tensioning ratchet system, heavy duty wheels and many more features...Our competition badminton post with integral 60kg weight, net tensioning ratchet system, heavy duty wheels and many more features...

The Powerboard

The latest in springboard development - designed for the needs of gymnasts and coaches alike, we can now launch the Powerboard - a fully adjustable springboard from Continental.

 

Developed in conjunction with gymnasts and coaches at Lilleshall National Sports Centre - the home of British Gymnastics - and the Central Manchester Institute of Gymnastics this springboard is now available.

The springboard comes complete with five permanent springs and four removable springs - this enables the springboard to be configured as a "hard" or a "soft" board, and the exact performance can be tailored to suit the individual gymnast.

The unique springing system features easy to remove and insert springs using the specially designed tool.

The design totally eliminates the trapped fingers, cuts and spring-crushing required by some other boards.

The spring insertion and removal tool is clipped in place and stored within a storage clip inside the springboard.

Handles are incorporated in strategic points based on the board's centre of gravity to enable it to be carried simply with one hand.

Portable freestanding ballet barre

We have installed permanent wall fixed or floor fixed ballet barre in thousands of dance studios, aerobics facilities and private homes throughout the UK. Due to popular demand from customers who cannot have such permanent barre, we have developed a range of portable freestanding ballet barre units.


Single height barre


Dual height barre


Double width barre

 

This simple and flexible ballet barre system permits the use of ballet barre in rooms that cannot have permanently installed ballet barre - for example multi-use rooms, private homes, general classrooms and anywhere where casual use of ballet barre is required.

Available with standard bases and three different barre units: single height, dual height and double sided.

The barre is manufactured from exactly the same high quality 48mm diameter Colombian Pine that we use for our permanent barre. The timber is given several coats of hard wearing polyurethane lacquer to provide an attractive hard-wearing durable finish. Each barre is 2m long.

All steelwork is epoxy powder coated in dove grey and all uprights are height adjustable with nylon thumbscrews to hold the barre fixed at your choice of height.
