Step 1: Sort your gear. Go through all the equipment and break it down by category. The more specific and categorized you make the system, the easier it will be to maintain. Purge or give away anything outgrown, broken, or unsafe.
Step 2: Create an all-in-one sports station. You can designate shelves with labeled bins or purchase a heavy-duty sports storage rack. These storage racks have separate compartments and open spaces for the hockey sticks, bats, tennis rackets, etc. Also consider a pegboard — these large, wall-mounted boards have holes drilled into them at regular intervals, so you can add hooks for helmets, baskets for smaller balls, and a pallet bar stand for bats. Amazon sells baseball bat racks that are inexpensive and can hold a large variety of bats and sticks. Large laundry baskets are a great way to store all your balls in one place.
Step 3: Get everything off the floor. Purchasing specialty wall racks or hanging mesh bags will ease the clutter, and they can hold everything from skateboards to sticks and helmets.
Step 4: Invest in a bike rack. It will keep bikes lined up neatly and comes with spaces for helmets, bags, and other accessories.
