If you have the ability to utilize wall space, it would be great to organize your sports equipment that way. I love hanging bikes on walls, I love putting racks in to hang surfboards, I love being able to hook up skateboards and bikes, and all sorts of, you know, various sports equipment like that. I also like having big, open containers that you can throw equipment in, baseball bats and mitts, and things like that or helmets, I mean there are lots of options. I think that you want to try and utilize as much wall space as you can when you're dealing with sports equipment because it is very bulky and awkward, and it really hangs better than it does sitting on a floor. So if you can do that it's terrific. Otherwise, if you can't, you can get a bike rack you can put on the floor for surfboards and things like that. I still recommend getting bins to, you know, one bin for bats and gloves, do another bin for helmets, and another one for bats of all kinds. There are lots of ways to organize sports equipment if you can.
