18.05.12

If you have an active family, you can appreciate just how expensive playing sports can be. From soccer cleats to lacrosse helmets, the costs certainly add up. A Barrington woman saw the need for more affordable sporting equipment for area families and Play-On Sports Gear, the areas first sporting goods consignment sale, was born.

Tammy Kerr thought of the idea for a used sporting goods sale when she started to think about how much money she was spending on her own families gear. She thought there had to be a cheaper way to keep the family active.

“Originally I was thinking about opening a storefront like Play It Again Sports, but I wanted it to be bigger. I wanted to have a big venue where people could cosign their sporting goods equipment,” she said.

Play-On Sports Gear is the first consignment sale of its kind for this area. The sale is taking place April 12-14 at 22N102 Pepper Road in Lake Barrington, by Christmas Tree Classics. Families who browse this week’s sale will find everything needed for spring and summer sports. Another sale will happening this fall will feature winter sports and other outdoor equipment.
