AI Technical Summary
Existing slalom poles with metal tips are unsafe for use in indoor environments, and separate setup of small field goals and slalom poles is cumbersome, limiting their flexibility and safety in training areas.
A slalom pole with a lightweight triangular base and integrated metal tip, combined with a small field goal that can be easily set up and used from multiple sides, enhancing safety and versatility.
The solution provides a safer and more flexible training setup that mimics real football scenarios, improving passing accuracy and cognitive skills while allowing easy conversion and setup of training courses.

Abstract
Description
State of the art: Slalom pole a) Slalom pole with integrated metal tip. It cannot be used indoors. This dangerous "javelin" design can be dispensed with in children's training areas. b) Slalom pole with heavy base. The slalom gate features a significantly lighter triangular base as a base, making it ideal for indoor use. State of the art: small field goal a) Small-pitch goals and slalom poles currently have to be set up separately on the training ground. The slalom goal allows for precise play through any training device set up on the course. It can be used from three sides (i.e., all around). With two slalom goals, larger pole goals can easily be formed. The course setup is just as quick as with marker cones. The slalom gates can, of course, also be used as such. The numbering and signal colors are integrated. Functionality slalom pole: - is easily set up (without metal spikes that could cause injury) and is therefore more flexible in use - corresponds more to reality in football, since an edge length of 70 - 75 cm always has to be played around. Functionality of small field goal: - is easy to set up, easy to transport and easy to change position. - Can be played from 3 sides (i.e. all around) - can be set up as a slalom gate course - improves passing accuracy - the insulating material and the expansive project base (75x75x75 cm) absorb direct ball hits with spring. Functionality, condition and orientation: - the base of the slalom goal can be differentiated by color: precise dribbling / passing to the right goal - the apex of the 3 insulating foam tubes can accommodate a number: this way the running path can be specified. - the 3 sides of the isosceles base triangle can be marked A - C or include the alphabet: the ball may only be played through on the announced side. - Score as many goals as possible in 1 minute. Educational functionality: - can be achieved with letters, numbers, color markings - train cognitive skills - Movement, targeted orientation in space, eye training List of reference symbols 1 hard foam base plate (side length approx. 75 cm) 2 3 foam insulation pipes (approx. 80-100 cm) 3 cable connectors (4 pieces) 3b Alternative: 3 waste pipe angles (PVC) + 1 cable connector + 3 rigid foam board strips 4 foil labels (optional)
Claims
[1] This is a piece of sports equipment that combines the functionality of a small field goal and a slalom pole, making it suitable for use in football. [2] An equilateral, triangular hard foam plate (1) accommodates a foam insulation tube (2) at each corner, which are then firmly connected at the apex with cable ties (3).
