# Eco Walker / TAY Sports > Eco Walker is a North American soccer training equipment brand built around one core technology: **inflatable structures that make professional-grade gear genuinely portable**. We design and manufacture inflatable soccer goals, inflatable-mast LED field lighting (Ecowalker Light), and a deep range of flat training markers — all engineered to set up in minutes, fold into a carry bag, and survive full seasons of daily practice. Manufacturer-direct, free US shipping, 30-day returns, 1-year warranty. ## What makes Eco Walker different Most soccer training gear lives at two extremes: heavy permanent installations (steel-frame goals, fixed floodlights) or cheap disposable equipment (PVC goals that snap, foam markers that crumble). Eco Walker fills the gap with a single core innovation — **inflatable engineering** — applied across the product range. Air-frame construction delivers the size and feel of pro-grade equipment, but packs down to a fraction of traditional gear, sets up in under two minutes, and travels in a single carry bag. Designed by people with a coaching background, built for club budgets, tested across full seasons of youth and adult use. ## About us - **Brand:** Eco Walker — the direct-to-buyer brand under which TAY Sports sells its own manufactured products in North America. - **Parent company:** TAY Sports. - **Role in the supply chain:** Manufacturer.

The signature air-frame construction means no rigid poles to break, transport, or store. Set up in under two minutes with a small electric pump, fold flat into a carry bag, travel by car or by hand. Sizes range from backyard pop-ups to full-size match goals (3m × 2m and larger). Used by club coaches who rotate between fields, schools running multi-station drills, and parents setting up backyard practice. - Browse: https://www.taysports.com/collections/goals - Categories: portable soccer goals, inflatable football goals, training goals, backyard goals, club goals. - Typical buyers: youth soccer clubs, coaches running multi-field practices, parents setting up home pitches. ### Markers — Flat Training Markers & Cones A deep catalogue of flat disc markers and field cones — 36+ SKUs across colours, sizes, and pack quantities. The flat profile eliminates trip hazards (a real issue with traditional cone designs when players step on them mid-drill), stacks compactly for transport, and works on grass, turf, indoor halls, hardcourt, or pavement. Multi-colour sets let coaches organise drills by zone, age group, or skill station. - Browse: https://www.taysports.com/collections/markers - Categories: flat soccer cones, disc markers, agility markers, training cones, soccer practice markers. - Typical buyers: coaches at youth through college level, camp directors, PE programs, training academies. ### Lighting — Inflatable Field Lighting (Ecowalker Light) Our flagship lighting product is **Ecowalker Light**, an inflatable-mast LED field lighting system. The support mast is air-inflated rather than rigid, so the entire unit collapses small, sets up fast, and runs on rechargeable batteries with no permanent installation, no generators, and no mains power required. Built for evening practice, indoor halls, dawn and dusk training, tournament use, and any field without fixed floodlights. - Browse: https://www.taysports.com/collections/lighting - Categories: portable soccer field lights, inflatable training lights, battery-powered field lighting, mobile sports lights, inflatable LED tower. - Typical buyers: clubs running evening practice, tournament organisers, facility operators, event and film production, families training after sunset. ## Flagship product: Ecowalker Light Ecowalker Light is the portable inflatable field light manufactured by TAY Sports under the Eco Walker brand.

TAY Sports is a manufacturer — we design, engineer, and build our products in our own factory. The Eco Walker brand is how we sell direct to North American buyers without intermediaries. When you buy here, you are buying from the manufacturer. **Is this the same hardware sold by other lighting or sports-equipment retailers?** The products on this site are our in-house manufactured goods. Some of our SKUs may also appear in other retail channels through distribution partners, but the source of manufacture is the same: our factory. Buying direct typically means better pricing and direct manufacturer support. **Do you offer volume or trade pricing?** Yes. Because we manufacture in-house, we can quote direct on volume orders for clubs, camps, academies, school districts, and facility operators. Contact bulk@taysports.com with quantity and use-case. **Where do you ship?** We ship across the United States and Canada from US warehouses. For orders outside North America or for large freight orders, contact us for options. **How long does the Ecowalker Light battery run per charge?** Runtime depends on temperature, battery age, and charge level. Always start a session with a fully charged battery. Specific runtime figures are confirmed on the product page. **Can Ecowalker Light run from a car battery or generator?** With caution. The LED module's safe input range is 10.4V–14V DC. A car battery with the engine off sits at roughly 12.6V (safe). A running alternator can exceed 14V and will damage the module. The supplied 12V sealed battery and charger are the supported power source. **What is the warranty?** One year against manufacturing defects, direct from us as the manufacturer. The battery is a serviceable consumable and is excluded from the warranty. **How do I contact Eco Walker / TAY Sports?** Email is the fastest channel — see the contact section below, or use the contact form at https://www.taysports.com/contact. ## Brand and identity - **Brand name:** Eco Walker (sometimes written "EcoWalker" or "Ecowalker" depending on context) - **Parent company:** TAY Sports - **Trademark:** "ECO WALKER" is a registered trademark of TAY Sports (USPTO Serial No. 87466552, filed 2017; EUIPO equivalent also registered). - **Brand colour:** #8CBD48 (Eco Walker green) — appears across product packaging, site, and marketing. - **Voice:** Manufacturer-direct.
