I ordered these specifically for the purpose using them in parking lots for motorcycles maneuver exercises. I took a chance with it because I wasn't sure how flexible the plastic would be.

As much as these are designed for sports drills for soccer and hockey, they're actually extremely durable and can definitely be used for those needing to practice parking or other vehicles obstacles. There's a lot of flex with very minor permanent indentations unless your pretty much fold it in half. Once the rain and extreme heat stops, I'll get to run a few more tests with the bike and cars.

It's a lot more compact than you'd think and the little mesh carrying bag makes it easy to store in your trunk for uses on the fly.

I've found training cones invaluable in all my coaching. They provide a visual and spatial guide to the patterns of a drill, and the MIOKO design, an elevated disc with a flat cutout top, is even more flexible than a standard cone.

The cutout top allows for the secure placement of a ball for kicking practice.

You get twenty-five cones in five colours that allow great versatility in laying out routes and zones. I've found the different colours an intuitive way to teach players distances on a course, as we don't always train on a marked field.

While the sport-focused uses of training cones are obvious, I've also found them ideal for driver training. These cones provide visual feedback for learning how to park a car. When I first start training a new driver to park, I place a large ball on the cone to guide the driver and give a tactile response when hit. The ball rolls off with no damage to the car. As the driver progresses, I remove the ball, leaving only the cones, which mimic the line of sight markings below in a parking space. Being able to set up a parking exercise in a driveway without the stress of working in a public parking lot calms new drivers down, and I've found this technique allows drivers to learn to park quickly.

The cones are quite robust, tho the plastic is thinner than on other sets I've owned. This doesn't matter for sports considerations, but as I use them in driver training, tires will eventually damage the cones. The plastic is quite flexible, and in Sports usage, these will last many seasons of drills.

The cones come in a mesh bag for easy storage and transportation, and stack up flat without taking too much space in my equipment-packed van.

There's a handy strap to keep all the discs organized—no ned to dig under the seats and behind Gatorade coolers looking for an elusive disc.

So whether you are training athletes in a sport, or teaching a newbie driver to park their sports car, these discs will speed them up!
