Styles of Football Cones

Up your outdoor gaming with the help of Alibaba.com's selection of high quality football cones. Also known as soccer cones, these multi functional sports cones can be used to mark play areas, goal posts, relay games and more. Popular styles include pointed flag football cones and flat soccer cones. Pointed cones rise off the ground like a pyramid and come in a variety of sizes and colors. Flat cones are circular and low to the ground, often made of more flexible rubbers suitable for being stepped on. Popular sport cone colors are bright primary shades, like yellow, red, green and blue, with some additional variety depending on the sports set. The bright, near neon coloring allows for high visibility indoors and outdoors, with some styles coming with additional light reflecting strips. Other styles of cones included angled markers, which can be laid flat or sat upright for marking and stepping on. While most cones are sold filled in plastic or silicone, some come with holes built inside the plastic, suitable for agility training and flexibility.

Sizes of Football Cones

These sports cones can be found in sizes ranging from mini to extra large soccer cones. The smallest size of a mini soccer cone can be smaller than the size of a palm, which is perfect for young children playing sports or fine detailed training. Tall soccer cones make great markers and divide areas into large fields and indoor spaces. Larger flat cones remain low to the ground but are wider than traditional cone styles. Sport cone sets can come in multiple sizes in one, stacked together for easy storage and a variety of gameplay.

Football Cones Uses

Football cones are vital not only in gameplay, but sports training as well. They are commonly spread at specific distances apart from one another to test athlete's run time and footwork. When placed in an L shape, athletes are challenged to swerve in between the cones, like in an obstacle course, to test a change of direction and challenge players to run outside a straight line. Flat cones are great for tap drills, where players have to run and tap the cone with a foot or ball before moving on. Outside of drills, football cones are frequently used in schools and sports companies to mark game areas and goalposts. Football cones also make great companions to office buildings, great for marking off areas that are out of order and redirecting foot traffic.
