Choosing a Glove

 

 

Set a Budget Before Buying Your Glove

Step1

Consider whether you are buying a glove as an investment piece for competitive play or whether this is just a hobby for your child.

Step2

Select a baseball glove in the lower price range if you are fairly certain your child is solely playing for recreation.

Step3

Brace yourself for sticker shock if you plan on buying a top-of-the-line glove. Quality gloves are made to last years, made with more expensive materials and sold at higher prices than starter gloves.

Step4

Check resale sporting goods stores to see if used gloves are available. You can find items in good shape for a fraction of the retail price and you can sell it back to the store when the season ends.

Step5

Look through the sporting goods section on online auction sites for bargain deals on gloves. Sometimes new equipment is offered at prices comparable to or lower than wholesale cost.
