- Used composite is broken in.
- You want to try a new model.
- You want to save money because aluminum doesn't go bad very easily.

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.

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!

Talk about rugged gear, catcher's gear is durable by design. We have new kits and components and used gear too. All of our catcher's chest protectors, shin guards and knee savers go through a full washing with detergent and virus-killing bleach.

- We stock complete kits and components.
- New Champro Catching Gear Kits and Wilson are stocked.
- NOCSAE certified and stamped gear stocked (required for school).
- We also carry new and used knee savers.
- Helmet and hockey style masks in store.
- Umpire shin guards and masks at the Dawg too!

Our primary stock of batting gloves are Prosway, Evoshield, Franklin, Louisville Slugger and Rawlings. Batting gloves don't last as well as catcher's gear, but used batting gloves do sometimes come into the store used and in really nice shape. As always, we wash them all in bleach to assure they are clean and ready to play!

- We stock Adult S - M - L - XL - 2XL
