Product Information
Full details
The Hy-Pro Flat Floor Training Markers are designed for coaches, PE teachers, and athletes who need a reliable, low-profile solution for setting up agility drills, field boundaries, and training circuits. These markers offer the primary benefit of staying securely in place during high-intensity movement due to their specialized anti-slip design, though users should note that their flat construction can make them harder to spot on busy or cluttered court surfaces compared to taller cones.

FAQs
Can these markers be used on grass?
Yes, they work well on short-cut grass, though they are most effective on flat, firm surfaces like turf or gym floors.
How many markers come in a set?
Each set includes 10 markers and a mesh storage bag.
Are they machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash them with a damp cloth rather than using a machine to preserve the integrity of the anti-slip material.
Do they work on wet surfaces?
No, wet surfaces will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the anti-slip design and may cause the markers to slide.
Are these markers safe to step on?
Yes, their flat design is specifically intended to be safe even if an athlete steps directly on them during a drill.
What is the diameter of each marker?
The markers are designed for standard agility use with a compact footprint, though exact dimensions can vary by specific production batch.
Troubleshooting
Markers are sliding on the floor surface.
Wipe the bottom of the markers and the floor surface with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup.
Markers are difficult to see on the court.
Ensure the floor is clear of other distractions or consider using a chalk mark to highlight the area around the marker.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-friction surface prevents accidental slipping.
- Low profile reduces the risk of ankle injuries compared to traditional cones.
- Easily stored in the included mesh carry bag.
- Durable material withstands repeated foot traffic.
- Highly versatile for both indoor and outdoor sports.
Cons
- Lack of vertical height makes them less visible from a distance.
- Colors may blend into specific turf or gym floor textures.
- Small surface area may be harder to see for players with limited vision.
- Does not support vertical drills like weaving through standing obstacles.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Hy-Pro markers is straightforward: simply place them on a dry, flat surface with the textured side facing down. For best results, ensure the floor or field surface is free from loose dust or moisture, which can compromise the grip.
Compatibility is broad; these are suitable for use on wooden gym floors, rubberized athletic tracks, synthetic turf, and hard-court tennis surfaces. To maintain the life of your markers, clean them occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris from the underside. Always return them to the provided mesh bag after use, and avoid storing them in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent material degradation. If the markers become damp during outdoor training, hang the mesh bag in a ventilated area to ensure they are fully dry before long-term storage.
