Size & Fit Guide

Our heavy-duty football training pole bases come in standard measurements to suit all coaching kit:

Total Base Weight: 2.3kg (5lb) of self-weighted ballast, enough to anchor 3ft, 4ft, 5ft and 6ft agility poles without needing extra sandbags.
Base Footprint: 27cm (11 inch) diameter with a bevelled edge for solid ground contact and reduced trip risk.
Central Profile Depth: A shallow 5cm (2 inch) socket housing that keeps the base low to the ground.
Spike Hole Fitting: A centre socket that securely accepts 8mm (0.3 inch) diameter steel ground spikes.
Pole Shaft Fit: Designed to fit standard 25mm (1 inch) and 33mm (1.3 inch) diameter plain poles, with no extra sleeves or adapters needed.

Care & Maintenance

Keep your rubber slalom pole base looking new with a few easy steps:

Wipe Down After Muddy Sessions: Clean soil, mud and rubber crumb from the disc with a damp cloth and warm, soapy water.
Clear the Central Socket: Check the socket regularly and flush out any dirt or small stones to make pole insertion easier.
Air-Dry Fully Before Next Use: Let the base dry completely before packing it into your kit bag, to keep its surface grip intact.
Keep Away From Radiators: Store bases in a cool kit room or car boot, away from direct heat, to stop the rubber drying out.

FAQS

You can order the HAJA Sports football slalom pole base directly from our official UK online store. We offer quick 2–4 working day UK delivery, transparent volume pricing for clubs buying in bulk, and free delivery on all orders over £50. Our UK-based customer service team is also on hand if you need help choosing the right quantity or checking compatibility with existing poles. As a UK supplier, we're used to handling both small individual orders and larger bulk orders for clubs, schools and academies.
Yes, you can buy individual replacement bases through our official UK store. This lets you update older grass-only pole setups with bases suited for artificial turf training, without buying a whole new set of poles and flags. It's a cost-effective way to keep an existing kit current as training needs change. Just check the spike and shaft measurements match your existing poles before ordering.
Use a garden hose or a bucket of water to flush out any dirt, mud or rubber crumb that's built up inside the central socket. Once clean, dry the socket thoroughly with a cloth before inserting your pole spike, so it seats tightly and doesn't slip. Doing this regularly prevents grit from wearing down the socket's grip over time. It's a quick job worth building into your usual post-session kit clean-up.
Replace a base if you notice deep structural cracking along the bottom edge of the rubber body, or a significant tear around the central socket. Damage in these areas can affect how securely the base grips both the ground and the pole, increasing the risk of it tipping during use. We'd recommend checking your training gear at least once a season as part of routine kit maintenance. Catching wear early means you can replace a single base instead of reordering an entire set.
Yes, these bases are built to perform well on wet 3G turf, wet Astro Turf and slightly uneven grass. The underside has a textured surface that grips synthetic fibres and flat indoor court floors, helping the base stay put during quick direction changes. This makes it a dependable option for sessions that go ahead in wet weather rather than being cancelled. For the most secure hold, check that the base sits flat before starting a drill on very uneven ground.
No, the base is fully self-weighted at 2.3kg of solid rubber, so you don't need sandbags or extra ballast. This weight is enough to support full-size 6ft agility poles even in strong outdoor winds or with regular ball impact during drills. It's designed to be ready to use straight out of the box, with no setup beyond placing the pole in the socket. This also makes it faster to pack up and move between training areas compared with sand-filled alternatives.
Yes, it works on natural grass and artificial surfaces. It's particularly useful on dry summer ground or hard-baked turf, where pushing steel ground spikes directly into the pitch can be difficult and time-consuming. In these conditions, the rubber base gives you a reliable, stable alternative to digging poles into hard soil. It's a practical option any time ground conditions make spiking poles directly into the turf impractical.
Yes, they work well alongside training arcs and hurdle clip attachments. By inserting two agility poles into weighted rubber bases, you can build a free-standing hurdle or gate on 3G turf, Astro Turf or an indoor court floor without anchoring anything into the ground. This is especially useful indoors or on artificial pitches where you can't use ground spikes. It also makes it quick to reposition drills mid-session, since you can pick up the whole gate and move it.
This base is designed for vertical, upright poles only. The socket holds the pole shaft perpendicular to the ground, which is what keeps it stable during fast lateral and change-of-direction drills. Using it to hold a pole at an angle isn't recommended, as it reduces the base's grip and increases the risk of the pole toppling. If your drill calls for angled markers, a different piece of equipment would be a better fit than adapting this base.
No, each base has a single centre socket and supports one upright pole at a time. For multi-pole setups like hurdle grids, passing gates or defender barriers, you'll need one rubber base at each position in the layout. This keeps every pole independently stable rather than relying on one base to anchor several poles unevenly. Ordering bases in bulk makes it easier to build out larger grid or gate drills across the full width of a pitch.
No, the ground spike stays on the pole. The base's deep central socket recess is designed to hold the 8mm steel spike directly so that poles can move straight from natural grass to artificial turf without extra steps. This makes switching surfaces quick during a single session, for example, moving a drill from a grass warm-up area to a 3G pitch. Just make sure the spike is fully seated in the socket each time for a secure, wobble-free fit.
No, you don't need any adapters or extra plastic sleeves to switch between pole diameters. The rubber central socket is designed to hold both 25mm and 33mm shafts securely. This saves setup time on match or training day, since coaches can swap between pole types without digging out extra parts. It also means one type of base can serve a squad using a mix of junior and senior poles.
In most cases, yes — the central socket is built to standard sizing and accepts agility poles with an 8mm ground spike and plain shafts between 25mm and 33mm in diameter. This covers most agility poles used across grassroots, school, and academy training. If you already own poles from another brand, they'll likely slot straight in without needing to replace your existing kit. As with any cross-brand fit, check your poles' exact spike and shaft diameter against these figures before ordering.
Yes, we sell the base as a single unit so coaches can order exactly the quantity they need. If you're kitting out a full squad, we offer discounted bundles for larger orders through our UK store. Buying individually also means you can top up a set gradually rather than replacing everything at once. This flexibility suits both small grassroots setups and larger academy training programmes.
The base has a broad 27cm (11 inch) circular footprint with a shallow 5cm (2 inch) central socket housing. The bevelled outer edge sits flush against the artificial or grass surface, increasing contact and stability. This low profile reduces the risk of players catching a foot on the base during fast footwork drills. Together, the width and low height give the base a solid grip without becoming a trip hazard.
Each base weighs 2.3kg (5lb), all of it self-weighted solid rubber rather than a hollow shell filled separately. This weight is enough to keep 3ft, 4ft, 5ft and 6ft agility poles standing upright during fast weaving and change-of-direction drills. It also holds firm during outdoor sessions in windy or gusty conditions, without needing extra sandbags or ballast. The weight is concentrated low and flat, which helps keep the base stable rather than top-heavy.
The base is moulded from high-density, weatherproof black rubber designed to handle heavy use. It's tough enough to take repeated boot-stud contact and won't crack in cold winter weather, but it also grips smooth indoor sports hall floors without sliding. This combination of durability and grip is what lets the same base move between outdoor pitches and indoor sessions. The rubber is also UV- and frost-resistant, so colour and structure hold up over a full season outdoors.
Yes, the central socket is built to take both sizes without needing a separate base for each. It fits thin 25mm junior poles and thicker 33mm senior agility shafts equally well, so you don't need plastic reducers or adapters. This makes it a straightforward one-base-fits-most solution if your squad uses a mix of pole diameters. It also means you can standardise on one base across age groups rather than stocking different sizes.

What Customers Say About Our Football Equipment

"Can vouch for HAJA sports - I'm an U12s coach at Pontyclun but also the junior section chairman and we've agreed to use HAJA as our permanent supplier of choice for the club.
I recently purchased the folding goals for the younger age groups, cones, bibs, football bags and other products - all great quality, very competitive prices and more importantly, we're supporting a local business 🙌🏻
Definitely worth looking into if you usually use the likes of Net World Sport etc 👍🏻"
