Those of us moms who have kids that play sports know that everything really is a team effort. Softball, basketball, baseball, gymnastics, soccer, football, you name it, Moms everywhere go through the same seasonal sports pains.
The elaborate carpool system you have to set up with other moms that rival military operations, ridiculous amount of laundry (or lack thereof) and the smells that accompany it, and what to do with all of the unused, out of season equipment are all common problems for all of us 12th (wo)men out there.
While we can’t really help with pick up and drop off times or laundry time woes, we might have some tips on how to store that softball glove in the winter or those basketball shoes in the spring. But before you start reading, make sure it’s not your turn to pick up the kids. Ok, now on to sports equipment organization!
The first step to take in organizing your child’s sports equipment is to establish a specific area to keep all of it. If you are lucky enough to have garage storage, this is the perfect place if you can create the space (spoiler alert, you can). Garages are out of the way and more importantly out of sight, making them the perfect place for seasonal sports equipment to reside until they are needed. If you don’t have a garage, not all hope is lost. A closet or two or a corner of the basement is perfect sufficient spaces.
Lastly, your son is playing America’s favorite game, football, and you don’t know what to do about those stinky, bulky shoulder pads, we suggest you have them up with a Double Hook Over the Door Storage Rack. Hanging them up with help air them out and get rid of that dreaded smell while also saving floor space for anything that might need it.
As parents, we should be happy that our kids are engaging themselves in sports. Keeping them active and healthy while also adding in a social aspect, sports help kids develop physically and mentally. So try to remember the benefits of sports when you’re contemplating ripping your hair out because you have to be three places at one time, or when your dumb-founded on how one teenager could smell so bad. Use these storage solutions to cut back on the stress of the season by keeping everything in its place, but don’t be surprised when your little linebacker still can’t find his cleats even though they have been on the same shoe rack for weeks.
