I do not want to trip over my boys cleats anymore. We have some built-in shelves for them but they always end up at the bottom of the steps where they sit to take them off. My husband is threatening to throw away all the toys in the garage if we don’t tackle our problem with sports equipment storage ideas.
I researched some ideas of how to tackle all our soccer balls, cleats and tennis rackets and get it all under control. Why reinvent the wheel? Let’s see some ideas of what others are doing.
- Storage Cubes – I love this idea because it can be used for everything. Here is a super cheap version and it can be used for both sports equipment storage and tools in the garage.
2. Ball Storage – This is easy to DIY with bungee cords. It can handle all different sizes and I love that kids can get whatever ball they want without pulling everything out. We all know that if they have to pull out more than one thing at a time then everything ends up on the floor.
3. Peg boards Rock! – You can hang everything and even small kids can reach what they need. There are all sorts of ways to organize it and get sports equipment, garage tools and landscaping equipment off the floor.
4. Ski Organization – Super easy to use these vinyl coated hooks for all sorts of things like skis and snowboards. My kids are just getting into skiing and we will probably invest in equipment in the next couple years. Hooks and nails are my husbands number one tool for organizing our garage. If there isn’t a spot for it, hang it.

5. Scooter/Skateboard Rack – Who else has hit their shins with a scooter? It hurts!! Wh have 3 scooters and 3 skateboards in our garage with our 3 kids so they need to go on the wall so we don’t trip on them.

Storage cubes are amazing for all those things that end up on the floor like shoes, balls, mitts, etc. My oldest is just 3yo but I’m already tripping on his stuff in the garage.

I absolutely loved your ideas on how to store sports equipment especially the method to storing balls properly. My family loves sports, but there are sadly some times in the year where we just can’t play as much as we want to. We were looking to chip in and pay for a place that can help us keep them stored until we need them, so we’ll definitely follow your tips as soon as we get a self-storage unit that can tuck away all our sports equipment.
