Body position is critical
Coaching young players to understand the importance of body position in team sports is critical to them being able to play quickly, and at the highest level. One of the visual aids at your disposal is the magnetic whiteboard and magnets. While there have been massive advances in how we coach young players in all sports, there has been little or no evolution of the humble whiteboard magnet.
Until now ...
From coloured discs, with numbers, to bigger discs with bigger numbers, and few attempts to show orientation ... to Shapers!
Shapers show orientation (body position) clearly and unambiguously

Testimonials
“A player’s body position dictates the options that they are able to see and their ability to play penetrative passes.
Teaching players to open up their body to have better options, every time it is possible, is made easier with Shapers!”
“I have finally found the best magnets in the world to depict the body shape of players on a white board”
“This is the best, most innovative and simple idea I have seen with respect to coach / player education in the last 10 years. Finally, a way to show, not tell players how important the position they take up on the field is. I have used this with both children and adults and the level of engagement is exactly what you seek as an educator.”
“Shapers are the best coaching and development aid in years. Prior whiteboard sessions which involved basic positional and tactical information have now become engaging, hands on sessions where players show us they understand. Being able to precisely show between the lines, body position and combination plays has enabled visual learners to clearly see the picture. Coaches are able to convey technical/tactical information and decision-making at a higher level.
We use Shapers to plan sessions, at training and on game day. I cannot recommend these highly enough to coaches at all levels.”
