Collection: Soft Polo Sets and Safe Indoor Striking Games
Introduce the exciting, fast-paced action of indoor polo to your students with the heavy-duty soft polo sets available at Morley Athletic. Whether you are an elementary physical education teacher working on foundational hand-eye coordination, an adaptive P.E. instructor looking for a safe and engaging floor hockey alternative, an athletic director building a diverse lifetime sports curriculum, or a recreation center manager setting up indoor league play, we have the specialized gear you need. Explore our comprehensive selection of soft polo sets, specifically designed with high-density foam heads to provide a safe, non-marking, and highly engaging striking experience for athletes of all ages.
Why Our Soft Polo Sets are Right for Your Athletic Program
Physical education teachers and athletic directors know that striking games are fantastic for developing cardiovascular endurance, agility, and spatial awareness. However, traditional hard-plastic or wooden sticks pose a significant safety risk in a crowded gymnasium, often leading to bruised shins and damaged floors. Soft P.E. polo is the perfect solution. By utilizing foam-headed mallets and soft, low-bounce balls, students can safely experience the thrill of a team striking game without the fear of impact injuries. Our 2026 collection focuses on institutional-grade durability, ensuring that the foam heads resist tearing and the shafts can withstand the high-energy enthusiasm of daily gym classes.
Top-Tier Soft Polo Gear for Your Gymnasium
We stock specifically chosen physical education striking products to ensure your program operates safely and efficiently.
- Complete Soft Polo Sets: Designed for early learners, elementary programs, and adaptive physical education, these complete sets feature incredibly lightweight shafts and oversized, soft foam mallet heads. The larger surface area makes it easier for beginners to make contact with the ball, building immediate confidence and improving foundational striking mechanics.
- Floor-Safe and Non-Marking: Maintaining the pristine finish of your basketball courts is a top priority for facility managers. Our soft polo mallets feature non-abrasive foam heads that will not scuff, scratch, or leave marks on finished hardwood or synthetic gymnasium flooring, no matter how intensely the game is played.
- Team Organization Made Easy: A standard institutional set typically includes 12 mallets divided into two distinct colors (e.g., 6 blue and 6 yellow) along with the matching foam balls. This provides a P.E. teacher with everything needed to immediately organize a 6-on-6 game without the need to piece together individual components.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between a soft polo set and a floor hockey set?
While both are indoor striking games, floor hockey uses a traditional bladed stick designed for sweeping and slapping a puck or ball. Soft polo uses a mallet-style stick (similar to croquet or equestrian polo) with a cylindrical foam head. Polo mallets are typically swung with a more upright posture, making it a distinct sport that develops different types of hand-eye coordination.
2. Is this equipment safe for younger students?
Absolutely. Soft polo is designed specifically for physical education environments. The mallet heads are made of thick, high-density foam, and the shafts are constructed from lightweight materials. This virtually eliminates the risk of bruises or impact injuries, making it the safest striking option for elementary-aged children.
3. Will the balls bounce out of control during a game?
No. The balls included in our soft polo sets are specifically designed for indoor play. They are typically made of low-density foam or feature a "no-bounce" design, keeping the ball on the ground where it belongs and preventing it from becoming a high-flying hazard in a crowded gym.
4. Can we use these sets outdoors?
While soft polo sets are primarily designed for indoor gymnasium use, they can be used outdoors on smooth, clean surfaces like a paved playground or tennis court. However, using foam heads on rough asphalt or concrete will significantly accelerate the wear and tear of the equipment.
5. How do I clean and sanitize the foam equipment?
Soft polo sets can be gently spot-cleaned. You can wipe down the mallet shafts and gently clean the foam heads with a mild soap solution or a standard athletic disinfectant wipe between classes to ensure a hygienic space.
6. Do you accept school purchase orders for bulk P.E. equipment?
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 complete polo sets and replacement balls for their entire school.
