Why Our Poly Arrows, Rings, and Shapes are Right for Your P.E. Program
Physical education teachers and youth coaches know that clear visual cues are essential for classroom management and student engagement. Telling a child where to stand or which direction to run is often less effective than showing them with vibrant, easy-to-follow floor markers. However, using tape leaves sticky residue on gym floors, and using paper or thin plastic creates dangerous slipping hazards. Our 2026 collection of poly arrows, rings, squares, and stars solves these problems perfectly. Manufactured from dense, non-slip polyvinyl, these floor markers "hug" the ground safely. They resist tearing, won't slide under fast-moving feet, and provide the ultimate visual guidance for circuit training, agility drills, and imaginative play.
Top-Tier Poly Floor Markers for Every Activity
We stock a huge variety of specialized movement and organization shapes to ensure your curriculum is both fun and easy to manage.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What material are these shapes made of?
These floor markers are manufactured from a high-density, flexible polyvinyl (poly) material. This specific rubber-like blend is incredibly durable, tear-resistant, and naturally non-slip, making it the safest option for heavy-traffic gymnasium floor markers.
2. Will the poly arrows and squares slide on a finished hardwood floor?
No. When placed on a clean, smooth surface like a hardwood basketball court or tile, the poly material "hugs" the floor. While they can be picked up easily by a teacher, they will not slide out from under a student's foot during a drill or game.
3. Are these markers safe for the gym floor finish?
Absolutely. Our poly spots, arrows, and shapes are completely non-marking. They will not scuff, scratch, or leave colored residue on your expensive gymnasium floors or synthetic turf.
4. How large are the Jumbo Straight and Curved Arrows?
While specific dimensions can vary slightly by model, "jumbo" poly arrows are typically 12 to 15 inches long. This oversized design ensures they are highly visible from across the gymnasium, making it easy for students to follow a designated path without confusion.
5. How should I store my poly shapes to prevent the edges from curling?
The most important rule for storing poly markers is to keep them perfectly flat. Stack your arrows, hands, and squares neatly on a dedicated shelf or in a flat-bottomed storage bin. Bending, folding, or leaning them against a wall can cause the edges to warp over time, which can create a tripping hazard.
6. Do you accept school purchase orders for bulk P.E. supplies?
Yes. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for over nine decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and physical education departments can easily submit a formal PO to purchase bulk sets of poly arrows, circuit spots, and geometric markers for their entire school district.
