Sports Equipment

Sports equipment can be expensive. If you have pre-loved good quality sports equipment, please consider recycling through REPLAY which collects, collates and re distributes recycled sports gear locally.

If you are just starting out or trialling a sport, see if you can hire any equipment needed before fully committing to a purchase. 

Buy secondhand sports gear locally or online.

Share sports equipment with family, friends and neighbours.

Ask your local school if you can borrow equipment over the school holidays.
