It’s hard to believe we’re already over halfway through the summer. Where has all of the time gone? With so many plans and so little time to do it all, choosing what activities to participate in and which to pass on becomes increasingly difficult. For the fathers out there, keeping your little sports-stars entertained and active throughout the long summer days often means more time for yourself. Here are some quick and easy ways to manage your time while having fun this summer.

It’s a well-known fact that kids are much better at pulling toys out to play with than putting them back where they go. Especially if your kids are in sports, there’s still tons of work left over once they’ve finished playing outside. Cleaning up after their messes and making sure everything gets back to it’s original spot can take time. Save some time to do things YOU want to do this summer by adding sports equipment racks to your garage.  SI’s Ball Claws come fully assembled and are incredibly affordable. Considering the time you will save not having to clean up after your kids’ sporting endeavors outside, these Ball Claws nearly pay for themselves.

In addition to utility, Ball Claws are also aesthetically pleasing. Don’t sacrifice space in your garage or shed with bulky tubs and bins for equipment storage. Ball Claws attach firmly to your walls and keep your sports balls within arm’s reach and on display for everyone to see, while staying out of the way.
