Cones and markers for football training

What can you find in the cones and markers selection at Foot-Store?

This page brings together boundary equipment used to structure football training: training cones of various sizes, flat bowls that are easy to carry, and markers intended for field marking or building technical drills.

This type of equipment is used to mark the limits of an exercise or to create a dribbling course, a dribbling circuit or a shooting area. Educators and coaches use it to organise varied sessions, from the simplest to the more technical.

Cones, bowls, markers: how to choose the right boundary equipment?

The choice mainly depends on the exercise you want to set up and the ease of transport you are looking for.

• The training cone is the most versatile marker: it's easily visible, can withstand ball contact, and is suitable for dribbling courses as well as marked playing areas.
• The bowl, which is flatter and lighter, can be placed and moved quickly. It is handy for marking a large number of points on the ground without cluttering up a bag of equipment.
• The marker is more for overall field marking or an exercise area when precision on the ground is less important than overall visibility.

For sessions with young players, prefer contrasting colours and sizes suitable for ground vision. For more advanced technical exercises, a set of bowls or mini-cones allows you to increase the markers without weighing down the equipment to transport.

Which brands of cones and markers can be found at Foot-Store?

The catalogue includes recognised brands in training equipment and club gear.

You will find Powershot, Sporti, Kuebler Sport, Tremblay CT, Precision, Erima, Softee, and HMS, each offering its own formats of cones, bowls, or markers depending on the needs of your training.

What other equipment do you need to equip your training ground?

Cones and markers cover only part of the equipment needed for a football pitch or training session. Other pages on the site complement this selection:

• Goals and nets, to set up a shooting area or a complete pitch.
• Touchline shelters, designed to protect the bench during sessions and matches.
• Marking equipment marking, to permanently define a pitch or training area.
• Hurdles and hoops, useful for jumping and agility exercises.
• Corner flags, to signal the boundaries of play during matches.

For an overview of all the equipment dedicated to pitches, the Pitch Equipment page centralises all these categories.

When can you take advantage of the best deals on training equipment?

The prices and stocks of cones, bowls, and markers change throughout the year, but some sections of the site are designed to help you spot good opportunities.

The Black Friday is often the most anticipated time to renew club equipment at a lower cost, followed by the end-of-year holidays. Then come the winter sales, followed by the French Days in spring, before the summer sales and the new collections of the season. To not miss anything, you can check the Black Friday, Espace Club Sales, Espace Club Deals, Clearance, or Shipped in 24h pages if you need the equipment quickly. The New Arrivals page also allows you to track the arrival of new items throughout the seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cones do you need for an amateur club training session?

This depends on the number of players and the type of exercise set up. For dribbling courses or technical workshops in small groups, a set of about twenty to forty cones or bowls is usually enough to provide multiple markers without overcrowding the pitch.

What is the difference between a marker and a bowl?

The marker is taller and more visible from a distance, making it useful for marking a wide area or an entire pitch. The bowl is flat, sits on the ground, and is easier to transport, which is better for technical exercises with many markers.

Do training cones withstand ball contact and studs?

The cones in the selection are made of soft, durable materials, suitable for repeated use on synthetic or natural turf. They can handle strikes and the passing of studs without immediately deforming, making them a material designed to last several seasons.

Can this equipment be used for other sports besides football?

Yes, the cones, bowls, and markers offered here are also used for other disciplines that require marking or agility exercises, such as general physical preparation or certain team sports. Their use is not limited to football; only their presentation in the catalogue is.

How can you easily transport a large number of cones and bowls?

Many references in the selection are sold in kits or sets, often delivered with a bag or a dedicated transport holder. This allows you to move all the equipment from one pitch to another without needing to gather the pieces one by one.
