How to Reuse Youth Athletic Uniforms
A youth that participates on a sports team normally wear athletic uniforms. These uniforms may be certain colors, have a logo or design displayed on them to signify a school or organization that they play for. These uniforms are usually made from nylon or cotton, and built to last for a long time. You can reuse youth athletic uniforms to help save money for the school or organization.
- Wash the athletic uniforms in a washing machine. Follow the directions by the manufacturer of the uniform. In most cases, however, you can wash the athletic uniforms in warm water with a mild laundry detergent. You can then put the athletic uniforms in a dryer. If the uniform has iron on numbers or letters, however, you should allow these to line dry and not put them in a dryer.
- Decide who will be able to use the uniforms once you have cleaned them. Think about organizations that you can support with these uniforms. Give the uniforms to programs that are in need of uniforms that cannot afford to purchase them.
- Wear old uniforms for practice if you cannot give them away to someone else. Have the entire tem wear their uniforms for each practice that you hold. This will help them feel like a team while they are practicing.
- Let the players keep their athletic uniforms, if they wish, or you can have them purchase them. Some players may like to keep their uniforms to remember your winning year by. You can also sell the athletic uniforms as a team to raise money so you can purchase new athletic uniforms
