The Ultimate Marker for the End Zone
When a running back dives for the corner of the end zone, the entire game can come down to a matter of inches. For referees, coaches, and fans, the bright orange pylon is the definitive marker of a touchdown. Athletic directors and facility managers know that having regulation, highly visible pylons is a strict requirement for sanctioned play. Our collection at Morley Athletic focuses on providing institutional-grade end zone markers that deliver unmistakable visibility while prioritizing the safety of the athletes diving into them.
Engineered for Safety and Stability
We stock specialized pylons and accessories designed for the realities of modern football facilities:
- Weighted Bottoms: Traditional pylons used metal spikes to anchor into the dirt, which posed a severe injury risk to players and caused damage to expensive artificial turf fields. Our modern pylons feature a heavily weighted base that keeps them standing tall against strong winds without the need for dangerous ground stakes.
- Impact-Absorbing Foam: Constructed with a high-density foam core and wrapped in durable, bright orange vinyl, these pylons are designed to collapse safely when struck by a diving player, instantly absorbing the kinetic energy to prevent injury.
- Pylon Storage Bags: End zone pylons are notorious for getting dirty, lost, or scattered around the equipment shed during the off-season. We offer heavy-duty zippered carrying bags specifically designed to hold a complete set of pylons, making transportation from the locker room to the stadium a breeze for your student managers.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are these pylons safe for artificial turf fields?
Yes, absolutely. Our weighted football pylons are specifically designed with flat, non-abrasive bottoms. Because they use internal weight rather than metal ground stakes to stay upright, they will not puncture or damage expensive artificial turf surfaces.
2. Are they regulation size for high school games?
Yes. Our end zone pylons meet the standard regulation sizing required by the NFHS and NCAA, which typically mandates a size of 4 inches by 4 inches wide, and 18 inches tall.
3. Will the pylons cause injury if a player lands on them?
No. They are constructed with a soft, forgiving foam core that is designed to yield and collapse upon impact. If a wide receiver drags their toes and lands directly on the pylon, it will safely compress under their weight.
4. How many pylons do I need for a standard football field?
A fully compliant football field requires 8 pylons in total. You need four pylons per end zone—placed at the two front corners (where the goal line meets the sideline) and the two back corners (where the end line meets the sideline).
5. How should we clean the pylons if they get muddy?
Because they are encased in durable vinyl, cleaning them is incredibly easy. Simply wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Let them dry completely before storing them in your pylon carry bag to prevent any mold or mildew from forming.
6. Do you accept school purchase orders for field accessories?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for over nine decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and facility managers can easily submit a formal PO to purchase end zone pylons, chain sets, goal post pads, and field paint.
