The Barrier
Our group wants to make sports equipment more affordable. Sports equipment can reach very expensive prices which can lead families with limited financial resources to spend on their sports. If sports equipment were more affordable, more people would be able to pay the price.
Sports equipment can vary in expenses depending on what sport you play, where you play it, and if there are any other additional fees. Many families struggle to provide money for their sport while also paying for things such as food, taxes, etc.
While some sports such as track and cross country are on the cheaper side, other sports like hockey can cost up to $337-$3,440, and that's just for equipment. This is why we want to make equipment more affordable for everyone. With more affordable equipment a larger range of people would be able to participate in sports!
