Why Is Sports Gear So Expensive
There are many families that spend a great deal of money on Sports Equipment. My family is one of them. It seems that each week there is another trip to the store to buy more Sports Gear for one of my children. Between the children’s school activities and my husband’s love of the outdoors, we purchase gear for sports throughout the year.
The schools used to provide gear for sports that the children participate in. Budget cuts and decreased funding for sports now makes purchasing gear for sports the responsibility of each participant. This is difficult for some families on a tight budget and it may mean that their child will not participate in an activity because the family cannot afford the sports gear. Most schools do have scholarships that help with the cost of the gear for sports, but this is often embarrassing for the student so they choose not to participate.
