How to Build the Ultimate Practice Kit for Any Sport

Every great team practice starts with the right gear. Whether you’re coaching soccer, basketball, volleyball, or running a rec program with multiple sports, having a well-stocked practice kit can transform your sessions from disorganized to dialed-in.

At Challenger Teamwear, we’ve spent decades working with coaches at every level, and we know what really matters when you’re planning for the season. Here’s a straightforward checklist to help you build the ultimate practice kit for any sport.


1. Training Equipment Essentials

You can’t run an effective practice without the right tools. Challenger Teamwear helps keep things organized, engaging, and efficient with essentials like:

  • Cones and markers for drills
  • Pinnies for scrimmage teams
  • Agility ladders and hurdles for speed training
  • Goal targets or rebounders

Whether you’re planning soccer sessions, basketball drills, or multi-sport camps, this gear keeps athletes moving and coaches in control.

2. Quality Balls for Every Sport

Nothing derails practice faster than too few (or poor-quality) balls. Make sure you have enough for drills, games, and backups.

  • Soccer balls in the right sizes for your age groups
  • Basketballs or volleyballs with durable construction
  • Extra practice balls for high-rep drills

We offer a wide variety of practice and match balls to fit every level and budget.

3. Socks and Shoes for Every Player

Comfortable, durable socks and supportive shoes are non-negotiable. Even the best-planned practice can be ruined by blisters or foot pain.

  • Moisture-wicking socks in team colors
  • Running shoes for conditioning drills
  • Sport-specific shoes for training and games

Don’t leave your players’ comfort up to chance.

The order arrived yesterday and it is perfect. The jerseys are beautiful. I'll be in touch. If you get down to Baltimore, let me know and we'll get together.

I received the jerseys right on time and the kids got to wear them on game day and they looked great.  Thank you for getting the order put together and making things go flawlessly for me.  It makes a lot of headaches go away.

Mike Federal Way, WA

I received the jerseys a couple of Fridays ago and I have appreciated working with you! The jerseys came out absolutely beautifully, exactly how I had expected, if not better. Challenger was extremely helpful, taking my last minute changes and requests, was friendly and informative and I would recommend  to anyone! We have some very happy kids!

At first I was a little skeptical about using a company that was not local to Flemingsburg, KY. We have used local companies for at least the last 10 years. We would like to thank your company and the hard work of the Challenger team in helping the Fleming County Youth Soccer program. Keep up the good work.
