Used Sports Equipment You’re Likely to Find at Your Local Goodwill  


Are you ready to improve your physical fitness this year? Perhaps your goal is to just have some fun learning a new sport. For others, it’s finding all of the sports equipment they need to keep the kids happy. No matter what your goals and plans are, you can find used sports equipment at Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona. Though what is available changes often, this is a fantastic place to find what you need at a fraction of the cost.

What Type of Used Sports Equipment Is Available?

It’s important to remember that the inventory of products at our location changes often – and that is what makes shopping here so much fun. Every day new items arrive and are made ready for our customers to purchase. What you will find in sports equipment is likely to change from one day to the next.

Yet, it is likely you will find some of what you need available from time to time. Take into consideration a few of the items that often show up at our location and how that may help you to get just what you need.

Basketball: If you love a good game of basketball, you may benefit from a new (used) ball. Basketballs themselves are readily available throughout the year, in many cases. You can find a range of styles and sizes, including various name brands. Also, it is not uncommon to find a basketball hoop. This may include smaller, in-home models that you can play with in the house as well as larger basketball hoops meant for outdoor use. You may even find a net or two available. Don’t forget to check the clothing aisle while you’re there as you might find a new jersey to complement your game.

Soccer: For those who love the game of soccer, it’s a big deal to find everything you need for this sport. Soccer balls are often one of the most sought-after options. There are various sizes out there, and plenty of colors, too. Aside from the ball itself, you may also want to see if there are any soccer nets available. These also range in size and style, but many are ideal for practicing those corner kicks into the net in the front yard. You may find other gear here, too, such as shin guards and pads.

Lacrosse: For those that are just looking to have their child get started in the game of lacrosse, but may not want a big investment right out of the gate, consider the used sports equipment you need from us. For example, you can often find lacrosse sticks that are in good or better condition. Choose from various styles, sizes, and colors to match just about any need. Other items, like face shields, are also likely available from time to time.

Golf: The game of golf is one that people love or hate. Yet, for those that have tried it out, it can be expensive. Golf clubs are the biggest cost in most cases. You may find a wide range of golf clubs available for purchase right here. You never know what type of golf club you’ll find. This could be a name brand high-end model or a full starter set that is ideal for those who want to give it a try without the commitment. Golf clubs can be a good gift to give, too.

Football: For those that do not want to spend a lot of money to buy a new football to play with, but wouldn’t mind spending the day outside catching a few balls with their kids or friends, our Goodwill of Central and North Arizona location may be a good fit. There may be a child’s sized football or even a full-size, professional-grade model available to you.

Finding Used Fitness Equipment Is Another Option

Getting fit means having a few types of fitness equipment on hand to help you get in a good workout. Yet, having to pay out of pocket for these new items can be anything but affordable. The good news is you can often find a few types of fitness equipment or even gym equipment available at our stores.

It’s important to remember that these items range widely and are some of the fastest to get out of the door once they do come in. The condition of items available also ranges. You may find nearly new gym equipment (as if someone bought it and rarely used it) as well as well-used but still functional items. This type of variety is a good thing – it means you have lots of options. What could you find?

Dumbbells: One of the most common items to find are dumbbells. These range from small handheld weights that have just a few pounds each to much larger ones. You may find various styles, grips, and overall material options to choose from.

Kettlebells: For those who are looking for a new way to use weight to help improve their fitness, kettlebells can be the ideal choice. These are long-lasting, which is why many people donate them when they no longer need them.

Resistance Bands: Resistance bands are a good source of improving flexibility and overall performance in movement. They can also be good for some types of physical therapy.

Benches and Weights: If you are looking to start lifting weight, you may be lucky enough to find weight benches available along with the weights for them. It is a good idea to learn a bit more about these items before buying them to ensure you keep yourself safe. Yet, many will find it is easy to start using them.

Create a Gym That’s Just Right for You

If you always wanted to have a home gym, one that you did not have to pay a membership for each month, but you did not want the big initial cost to set one up, let us help you. Again, you never know what’s available on any given day but chances are good you will find just about everything you need for a home gym available at some point.

Create a space in your home or garage for your gym equipment. Then, start picking up pieces of equipment you find that is right for you and that can enhance your ability to perform. Over time, you’ll increase the range of options available to you, allowing you to have the type of workout that’s right for full-body fitness.

The items at Goodwill that you find may be just what you need to build up a gym that your friends envy. The even better news is that you are not going to have to pay a small fortune for it all. Just buy what you find when you find it to build your equipment and to create better exercise regimens for your needs.
