Known for designing and manufacturing high-quality NCAA throwing cages for track and field programs across the country, Dumble Athletics plays a key role in helping athletes train and compete safely at the highest level. Albina is proud to be part of that process.

Albina contributes by bending a variety of structural components that form the signature curved framework of these installations. These include:

• 1½" SCH40 6063-T52 aluminum

• 2½" SCH40 A53B (wheeled steel)

• 2½" SCH40 6063-T52 aluminum

• 3" SCH10 A53A

• 3" SCH40 6061-T6 aluminum

Albina’s expertise ensures that every curve meets exact specifications, allowing the pieces to come together seamlessly. Throwing cages are designed to contain high-velocity implements like hammer and discus, protecting athletes, coaches, and spectators alike. At the same time, these cages contribute to the visual identity of a facility, with sweeping arcs and clean lines that reflect both strength and precision.
