Play It Again Sports Opens Cranberry Store to Make Sports Accessible

Play It Again Sports opens new Cranberry location offering affordable used sports equipment. Local owners aim to eliminate cost barriers for youth sports through sustainable buy-sell-trade model.

This development matters because it addresses the significant financial barrier many families face when participating in youth sports, where equipment costs can reach hundreds or even thousands of dollars per child annually. By providing affordable, quality used equipment through a convenient buy-sell-trade model, the store enables more children to try different sports without the financial strain on families. Additionally, the circular economy approach reduces waste and environmental impact by keeping sports equipment in use rather than discarding it. For a sports-passionate community like North Pittsburgh, this represents both economic relief for families and a sustainable solution to the constant turnover of sports gear as children grow and interests change.
