The right design and size for more intuitive training
"You can use them for giving directions, marking out areas, or doing dodging drills depending on the age group." David, Kipsta Test Manager and Coach, explains all:
"For kids, these 15 cm cones can be used as obstacles to dodge or as a slalom course. For adults, they could mark out a pitch. What's more, their shape is intuitive, and less explaining means less time wasted. Plus, kids will gain autonomy by making sure they set out the cones the right way round."
Reliability and durability tested on the pitch
A unique visual identity and intuitive design! But above all, we wanted these cones to improve your training sessions for as long as possible. To reassure ourselves, we tested our products on the pitch at the Kipstadium in Tourcoing and with U9, U10 and U11 players in Lens, France. These demanding tests in real playing conditions confirmed that the cone shape was not just reliable and durable, but totally unique!
Stable cones on grass or synthetic pitches.
To keep the cones stable on artificial or grass pitches, our design team came up with a clever idea: the base of each cone has small notches that create a comb-like effect. Blades of grass get caught between these and help anchor the cone against any sideways movement. Simple and effective!
The Essential range and our take on the training cones
Using our field observations and through discussions with coaches, we were able to note various needs when laying out exercises: 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. These 15 cm cones are our first products from this new range. Follow the story!
Our football design team explains the Essential range's identity
"When we decided to redesign the 15 cm cones, our objective was to make this product both unique and attractive. We wanted the design to show a direction: the difference between the matte plastic and the shiny plastic forms an arrow. It's a theme that's repeated throughout the Essential range and helps establish the idea of direction during drills. And, of course, we wanted to make these accessories reliable and visible."
