Pick the Right Mats (and Colors) for Your Club

What matters (in plain words)

Parents notice safety, coaches need progress, and your brand must look intentional. The mats you pick should do all three.


Choose by job (quick guide)

Floor basics / warm-ups

  • Panel mats (foldable) for rolls, shapes, conditioning.
  • Typical pick: panels that fold for easy storage and quick layout changes.

Skill stations & progressions

  • Incline (“cheese”) mats to teach forward/backward rolls and shaping.
  • Octagon shapes for bridges, kick-overs, and tumbling drills.
  • Choose sizes by age group (kids → smaller; teens → larger).

Landings & spotting

  • Landing mats for safer dismounts and beam/bar progressions.
  • Thickness increases with height/impact.

High-impact safety

  • Crash mats for advanced skills and new progressions.
  • Go thicker/softer where athletes come down with speed.

Walls & perimeters

  • Wall pads to protect busy lanes and corners.
  • Match height to your wall and traffic areas.

Not sure what thickness or density suits your programs? We confirm specs with you on the quote (use-case, athlete age, ceiling height, and coach method).


Color & branding (make it look pro)

  • Zone by color: e.g., blue = basics, red = advanced, grey = coach area.
  • Brand match: we can align to your HEX/RGB colors and add logo prints on selected mats.
  • Finish options: easy-clean vinyl, hidden seams, reinforced handles, anti-slip bottoms.
