How to choose sports equipment
Basketball
Basketball gear is the biggest group, led by portable hoop systems that adjust in height, like the Everfit 2.6 m stand. Fill the base with water or sand for stability. Adjustable hoops let kids start lower and move up to the regulation 3.05 m as they grow. Wall mounted hoops suit tight driveways.
Soccer and other ball sports
Soccer goals, nets and training gear make up the next biggest group, with netball and tennis gear too. Pop up goals fold away for the park, while steel goals stay put in the backyard. Wall mounted ball racks keep the garage tidy.
Boxing and gym
Boxing and martial arts gear includes punching bags, speedballs, gloves and kids' boxing sets. Gym mats and gymnastics air tracks protect floors and give a soft landing for tumbling.
Picking by age
Many items are made for kids, with smaller sizes and adjustable heights, while others suit adults. Check the age or height guidance on each listing so you buy something that grows with your child.
Price guide
Accessories start from about $17, and most gear is around $65 to $70. Hoop systems and goals cost more. Brands include Everfit, Powertrain and CORTEX. For more training gear, see gym mats and gym equipment, or add a trampoline for the kids.
