I wish I’d had these tips back when our boys were in hockey! Might’ve made life a little (or a lot) easier…
I love these organizing sports equipment tools. My son plays tennis and the Kit Keeper will work great. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome, Sabrina.
The Kit Keeper is new to me, but it looks like a great item to have. Glad to know about that one.
Thanks for the comment, Debbie. I think the Kit Keeper will help many athletes stay organized.
Separate laundry baskets–definitely a necessity!! And the skate boards on the towel rack idea is very clever–and safer than being on the floor. Thanks for posting to P.O.B.C.
Thanks for commenting, Olive! Yes, getting the skate boards off the ground really improves safety.
Good tips and advise.
Thank you!
Really very informative tips and guidelines for storing sports equipment. We have a number of sports equipment as my little kid loves sports games. So, these ideas would be very helpful for me. Thanks for sharing this.
You made a great point about using heavy-duty hooks in the garage for storing helmets and other things. My husband and our son are huge into baseball and we need more storage for the things he’s buying. We will keep these tips in mind after finding more equipment from a professional. https://www.durableproducts.com.au/about/manufacturer-of-sports-equipment-queensland/
