Having coached various sports for over two decades, we know the importance of cleaning and disinfecting cleats. Every pair of used cleats go through an upright wash cycle with detergent and bleach. We dry them and inspect for issues, fixing those we can and discounting those we can't. These cleats often look and perform like new. Many cleats get so little use, so they're easy to recycle (and remember, we still disinfect all used cleats, no matter the condition). Why buy used?
- Your kid is trying the sport for the first time.
- Your kid needs metal & rubber/plastic cleats and turf shoes too!
- Your kid lost their cleats and there's two weeks left in the season.
- You want a pair of grass-cutting cleats for safety on hills.

Helmets are designed to be tough! We can scrub them up and use them again. We stock new and used for all sizes of kids and for t-ball, softball and baseball. Helmets are always cleaned and disinfected.
- We stock softball face masks for most brands.
- We stock many brands and colors of face shields for baseball.

We hear from customers over and over again because it's true! USED gloves are better than new because they're conditioned and ready to play. Most new gloves require a break-in period. We carry new and used gloves because we just can't keep them in stock.
- We stock softball and baseball gloves, 1st base mitts and catcher's mitts.
- We carry new Wilson, Louisville Slugger, Easton and Rawlings gloves.
- Need to repair a glove? We have repair kits.
- We also carry conditioning oils and pastes from Champro & Wilson.
At UNDERDOG Sports, you can try on gloves and toss a ball
around outside to make sure it works for you and/or your kid!
