How to save on kids’ sports equipment

Date:

Nicole LaFountain wants her kids to try lots of activities, so her daughter, 11, and son, 9, have dabbled in swimming, karate, gymnastics, soccer, lacrosse, T-ball and hockey. But thereā€™s a downside to playing multiple sports: Many require specialized equipment, and the costs add up quickly.

Her son, for example, recently outgrew his hockey skates three weeks before the end of the season. She searched for a used pair, but she found nothing near her home in Waterford, Conn., and there were no hand-me-downs available from friends or family. She ended up driving an hour to a specialty store and paying $600 for a new pair. ā€œWould the skates fit next season? Maybe. Maybe not,ā€ she says. ā€œBut what do you do? Itā€™s crazy!ā€
