Purchasing Soccer Equipment On A Budget
If your children are involved in sports, particularly soccer
, you will need to buy them the necessary clothing and accessories to help keep them safe and having fun. However, these supplies can be very expensive unless you know where to get them.
There are many ways that parents can save money when purchasing the necessary soccer clothing and equipment for a child. Every spring many children have the opportunity to participate in the sport of soccer.
Providing the proper sports gear and outfitting for a child does not have to ruin a family's budget. Parents can save money when purchasing the necessary soccer clothing items for a child by using the following approaches:
Check to see if a child's older siblings soccer clothes from previous seasons will fit. Look at garage sales for shorts and socks (many soccer leagues provide a free t-shirt during registration).
Search for shorts, socks, and shoes at a consignment store. Contact friends, family, and/or neighbors that had children in soccer the season before (i.e. parents could purchase items at garage sale prices or receive the items completely free).
Purchase clothing items at a sports store when the items are on sale (hint: many sport stores will have children's bundle packages where the shopper will receive three to four needed items at a discount price). Use a coupon from the sport store (hint: try to combine it with the soccer bundle packages and save even more).
Use Internet websites to locate sites that allow postings of wanted and for sale item. Purchase children soccer apparel online if you can.
Not only is it important for parents to know where to find deals in regards to purchasing soccer clothes for a child, they should also make sure that the clothing fits properly. Proper fitting for soccer socks, shorts, and t-shirts can be done by simply looking at what the child is currently wearing.
For soccer shoes, however, it is important that the child puts it on, laces it, and hits the back of the heel onto the ground. Then have the child put the foot down and see if there is one finger length (place finger horizontally across the big toe).
If there is, it's the right size. If not, go up the next size. A child will also need shin guards to protect his shins during practices and games.
This can be done by placing the shin guard two fingers below the knee (place the fingers horizontally). If it goes deep within the shoe, than it is too long.
If it stops at above the ankle it's too short. If a child wears soccer clothing that is either too big or too small, it not only will cost more money to buy a new one but also could affect the safety and performance of a child during a game.
In this sport, it is easy to be injured, such as having an ACL torn. Using the proper equipment which fits in the right way can protect your child from falling victim to these painful and expensive injuries.
A ball can be purchased on a tight budget as well. A family can receive one either at a discount at sport store though a bundle package, garage sale, or consignment store.
It is important for parents to know which size of ball to purchase for a child (this is just as important as purchasing the correct size of soccer shoes). Listed here are the different sizes of soccer balls for each age group.
Size three applies to age four to seven. Size four applies to age eight through twelve, and size five applies to ages thirteen and older.
Families can save money when purchasing the necessary soccer gear when options are considered. Parents can look at garage sales, consignment stores, sports stores, and online stores to purchase the needed items (i.e. shorts, socks, shoes, shin guards, and ball).
It is even more crucial for them to look at all of the options when there are two or more children participating in the sport. This can be a fun and exciting way for children to learn how to be good sports, have patience, and learn team work-money doesn't have to be an issue when it comes to helping your kids stay fit and have fun!
