Our football product designers developed these unique arrow-shaped flat markers so that you can mark out a playing area absolutely anywhere.
Make your training sessions more intuitive! With their arrow shape and bold colour, these durable flat markers are easier to see, making training more efficient.
- Ease of learningThe arrow shape shows you which direction to move in.
- VisibilityYour markers are visible from up to 25 m away thanks to their bright colours.
- We watched players on the pitch and spent a lot of time talking to coaches to establish their needs for setting up drills: marking points on the ground, dodging, etc. To meet these needs, we designed the Essential range. It's made up of clever, affordable products that fulfil a major function (marking out drills, creating targets, etc.) to help you run fun, effective training sessions for all age groups. The Essential markers let you mark out an area. Follow the story!
- "We wanted to create a simple product that has always been around in the sport. The goal was to take a fresh look at an object that was often taken for granted. The flat markers are used in all drills. We added a unique shape to reflect Kipsta's strong identity: even training markers can look nice!"
- "Here are some examples of how the design helps your training sessions: - No more packaging! The flat cones come with just a sticker - Their pyramid shape makes the ball's reaction more realistic: it bounces off the sides of the marker - The matte arrow on the cone shows you which direction to go during drills: you enter on one side and leave on the other - And they're easy to throw onto the ground with one hand so you can get your drills set up quickly!"
- A strong visual design is important. But a reliable, safe marker is even better. So to test how durable the Essential cones are, we ran all sorts of demanding field tests. Budding footballers at the Kipstacademy had a whale of a time testing their durability by walking all over the cones!
- "The Essential range came about in 2017 by a four-person design team who wanted to make training easier and more affordable. The range has been tested in the field and improved based on trainer feedback: 'We worked with a dozen coaches on long-term tests. We were able to gradually enhance our products, such as the colour and pitch type, or their level of durability.'"
- The Decathlon Coach app was created to let users follow training programs written by certified coaches.
