MAKE ROOM FOR MOVEMENT
From a quick practice
to a whole afternoon.
A net in the garden. A mat in the spare room. Equipment that gives the whole family a reason to get moving.
For badminton, table tennis, boxing and more
We sell sporting goods for use at home, at the club and on the campsite. Our products are easy to set up and simple to use. They are made for families and for people of all ages who enjoy a wide mix of games and sports.
For healthy indoor and outdoor fun
Most of us spend too much time indoors in front of a screen. Children in particular miss out when they are not playing sport with their friends. A net in the garden or a mat on the floor makes it easier to get the family moving again.
Choose the size, weight and colour
Many products come with options. Pick the dumbbell weights, the rugby tackle bag size or the MMA glove size that suits you, and the colour where one is offered. Our badminton net sets at three heights, up to 155 cm, so it works for children and adults.
Invest in your children
Sport has many benefits, and not all of them are physical. For children, it builds habits that can last into adult life. Health guidance for children recommends being active every day, and a net or a set in the garden makes that easy to start. Some of that happens at school, but the more active children are, the better.
What you get
Our products are for recreational use. We specialise in easy-to-use sports equipment for amateurs and beginners, families, clubs and schools. If you compete at a professional level or need high-end competition gear, a specialist supplier will serve you better.
Meet Outdoor Sports Company ↗BEFORE YOU ORDER
A little help goes a long way.
Are there sustainable practices in the production of sports equipment sold in shops?
Some shops now stock products made with more sustainable methods, and many list the materials so you can judge for yourself. We do not make a sustainability claim for our range. Each of our product pages lists the materials used.
Do sports goods shops offer international shipping for online purchases?
Policies vary from shop to shop. We deliver across Ireland, and we can also send orders to other countries for a flat €25 international delivery fee. The free delivery threshold applies to orders delivered in Ireland only.
What should I consider when buying sports equipment for a child?
Think about safety, whether the item adjusts as they grow, and how keen they really are. Check the size and weight guidance on the product page. Our badminton net, for example, sets at three heights, up to 155 cm, so it suits younger and older players.
How do I choose the right size when buying sports equipment?
Use the size charts and dimensions the shop publishes, and measure your space or your hands before you order. Our product pages list the sizes and options for each item. If a measurement you need is missing, email us and we will check it for you.
Can I find team uniforms at a sports goods shop?
Many shops sell team kit and offer printing for schools and clubs. We do not sell clothing or team uniforms. Our range is training equipment: nets, goals, tackle bags, mats and similar kit.
Do sports goods shops offer guides on how to choose and use equipment?
Many shops publish buying guides, and some run sessions in store. We are online only, so our help comes as written guides on this site and answers by email. Most emails are answered within 1 business day.
Is it possible to find sports equipment for less common sports?
Specialist shops often stock gear for less common sports. Our range includes a few items you may not find in every shop, such as pole vault poles, a balance beam and a golf chipping net.
Do sports goods shops sell gift cards?
Many shops do. We do not sell gift cards at the moment. If you want to give equipment as a present, you can have the order delivered to the other person's address.
Can I find accessories for my sports equipment at a sporting goods store?
Most stores carry accessories alongside the main equipment. Ours are on the accessories page, and some products come with extras, such as the carry bag in the badminton set.
Are there benefits to buying sports equipment in a shop rather than online?
A shop lets you handle the item and get advice face to face. Buying online gives you time to compare. We are online only, so read the dimensions and options on each product page, and email us if you have a question before you order.
How can I stay informed about new arrivals at a sports goods shop?
Sign up to the shop's emails, follow it on social media or check its website now and then. New products on our site appear on the shop page.
Do sports equipment shops offer repair services?
Some shops repair certain equipment, such as restringing rackets. We do not offer a repair service. If an item arrives faulty or damaged, contact us and we will put it right at no cost to you.
Can I find sports nutrition products at a sports goods shop?
Many larger shops sell supplements, energy bars and drinks. We do not. Our range is equipment only.
How do I know if a sports goods shop is reputable?
Check who runs it and where, read the delivery and returns terms, and see how quickly it answers a question. Our company details, delivery terms and returns policy are all published on this site.
Do sporting goods stores cater to professional athletes?
Some specialist stores do, with high-end gear and custom fitting. Our products are for recreational use and training, aimed at families, beginners, clubs and schools. Professionals who need high-end kit will be better served by a specialist.
Can I find instructional books or videos at a sports goods shop?
Some shops sell coaching books and videos. We do not. The buying guides on this site cover how to choose equipment, and each product page explains what the item is for.
Can I buy sports equipment online?
Yes. Our full range is online, with prices in euro. Pay by card through Stripe or by PayPal, and we deliver to your door anywhere in Ireland.
How can I make sure I'm buying durable sports equipment?
Look at the materials, the stitching and any weight limits, and match the item to how often it will be used. Our product pages list the materials, such as the water-resistant PVC on the rugby tackle bags and the steel frame on the gymnastics bar.
Can I find both indoor and outdoor sports equipment in one shop?
Many shops carry both. Our range covers garden and pitch kit such as nets and pop up goals, and indoor kit such as gymnastics mats, a table tennis table and dumbbells.
Do sports goods shops offer discounts or loyalty programmes?
Many do. We do not run a loyalty programme. If you have a discount code, enter it in the cart. Clubs and schools buying in quantity can ask for a quote on our wholesale page.
Are there eco-friendly sports equipment options?
Some shops now stock equipment made from recycled or sustainable materials. We do not make eco claims for our products. The materials are listed on each product page so you can decide for yourself.
How often do sports goods shops update their stock?
It varies. Large shops change their stock with the seasons and new releases. Our range is smaller and changes less often, and any new product appears on the shop page.
Can I rent sports equipment from a sporting goods store?
A few shops rent out seasonal or expensive gear. We sell equipment only and do not offer rental.
Do sports equipment shops provide warranties?
Many pass on the maker's warranty. Whatever the warranty says, Irish consumer law protects you if goods are faulty. If one of our items arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, we put it right at no cost to you.
Can I get custom-fitted sports equipment at a sports goods shop?
Some shops fit shoes, helmets and rackets in store. We are online only and do not offer fitting. Where an item comes in sizes, such as the MMA gloves or rugby tackle bags, the product page shows the options.
Do sporting goods stores offer equipment for niche sports?
Specialist stores often stock gear for sports like climbing or water sports. Our range focuses on nets, gymnastics, combat training, rugby, football, golf practice and racket games.
Can I find branded sports equipment at a sports goods shop?
Most large shops stock well-known brands. We choose our range for the job each item does, and every product page lists the materials and specifications so you can compare.
Are there sports equipment options for children?
Yes. Many shops stock youth sizes. In our range, the pop up goals, badminton set, gymnastics mat, balance beam and adjustable gymnastics bar suit family use. Always supervise children and check the guidance on the product page.
How do I choose the right sports equipment for my needs?
Start with the sport, the space and who will use it. Then check the dimensions and options on the product page. If you are unsure, email us with what you have in mind and we will help you narrow it down.

Portable sports equipment for at home
Outdoor Sports Company Ireland stays true to where it started: portable, foldable and adjustable sports equipment for the whole family. Most of the range is light, quick to set up and easy to pack away when the game is over.
Our products suit many places and all ages. They are made for families and for anyone who enjoys a bit of time outdoors. We think it matters to get away from laptops and phone s for some fresh air and exercise, so put a little time into your own health and your family's.
Choosing sports equipment: a guide to sporting goods stores
The right equipment is not just an extra. It helps you play better, use your kit correctly and enjoy the game more. Whether you train most days or play at weekends, finding good equipment starts with finding a good sporting goods store. This guide explains what to look for, so you can make informed choices about the gear you buy.
Why quality sports equipment matters
Good equipment is made for a specific job. It gives the right support, lasts longer and helps you perform. Protective gear also plays a part in keeping you safe while you play. With so many brands, models and types to choose from, the place to start is a store you can trust to answer your questions honestly.
What to look for in a sporting goods store
1. Range and choice. A good store covers different sports and different skill levels. Whether you play mainstream sports like football and rugby or something less common, check that the store stocks what you need. Ours focuses on sports nets, fitness and gymnastics equipment, combat training gear, golf practice kit and table tennis.
2. Knowledge. Staff should know what they sell and be able to advise on what suits your level, your goals and your budget. We answer product questions by email, and most emails are answered within 1 business day.
3. Quality you can check. Look for stores that tell you the materials, dimensions and limits of each product. Better-made equipment may cost more, but it usually lasts longer and performs better.
4. Personal service. Some stores offer custom fitting for shoes, rackets and other equipment. We are online only and cannot fit you in person, so our product pages list the sizes and options, and we will check any detail for you before you order.
5. Fair pricing and offers. Good stores price fairly and are upfront about delivery costs. Our prices are in euro, and standard delivery in Ireland is free on orders of €75 or more after discounts.
The rise of online sports goods shops
Buying online lets you browse and order from home, at your own pace. Many online stores give detailed product descriptions to help you choose. You cannot hold the item before you buy, though, so check the measurements carefully, especially for anything that needs a close fit.
Making sure you choose the right equipment
1. Research. Read the product details, watch how-to videos and talk to coaches or experienced players about what you need.
2. Try before you buy. Where you can, test the equipment. This matters most for shoes, gloves and anything that must fit your body. When you buy online, check the returns policy. Ours accepts change-of-mind returns within 15 days of purchase, and Irish and EU law give you 14 days from delivery to withdraw from an online purchase.
3. Consider second-hand. For expensive items, or a sport you are just trying out, good second-hand gear from a reliable source can cost a fraction of the new price.
4. After-sales support. Ask about returns, warranties and support after you buy. Knowing the store will help if something goes wrong gives you peace of mind. If one of our items arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, we put it right at no cost to you.
Conclusion
Starting a sport, or sticking with one, is easier with reliable equipment. Whether you shop in person or online, look for a good range, real knowledge, clear product details and support after the sale. The right gear should meet your needs and keep you coming back to play.
