Product Information
Full details
This Loops Football Mannequin Set is designed for junior players and coaches looking to enhance training drills. Its primary benefit is providing realistic obstacles for practicing dribbling, passing, and shooting. A potential caveat is that the 5ft height may be less suitable for very advanced or adult training scenarios. This set includes three 5ft tall mannequins made with a durable polyester material and heavy-duty plastic frames, featuring moulded plastic chest panels for added realism, and comes with a convenient carry bag for easy transport.

FAQs
What is the recommended age group for these mannequins?
These 5ft mannequins are ideal for junior players and youth teams. The height is suitable for developing players up to approximately 12-14 years old, depending on their growth.
Are the mannequins suitable for all weather conditions?
The mannequins are designed for outdoor use and are reasonably durable. However, prolonged exposure to extreme weather (heavy frost, intense UV) may affect the material over time. It's best to store them indoors when not in use.
Can I buy individual replacement mannequins if one gets lost or broken?
Currently, this product is sold as a set of three. Please check the retailer's policy or contact Loops customer support for information on purchasing individual replacements.
How heavy is each mannequin?
While specific weight is not provided, they are designed to be lightweight enough for easy carrying by juniors and adults, yet stable enough for training drills. The set with the bag is easily portable.
What is the material of the mannequins?
The mannequins feature a heavy-duty plastic frame and moulded plastic chest panels, with the overall construction utilizing polyester material for durability.
Can these be used for other sports drills?
While primarily designed for football, they can be adapted for agility drills in other sports where marking boundaries or obstacles is required.
Troubleshooting
Mannequins are unstable
Ensure the mannequins are placed on a level surface. For added stability on very soft ground, consider using ground stakes (not included) if compatible with the base design.
Plastic panels are damaged
Contact customer support for potential replacement parts if the damage is due to a manufacturing defect. Avoid forceful impacts that could exceed the product's intended use.
Carry bag zipper is stuck
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
