Your athletic equipment is working overtime — and aging faster than you think. From outdoor goalposts and bleachers to indoor flooring and padding, daily wear, weather exposure, and heavy use are constantly chipping away at the assets your facility depends on. Too often, replacement decisions happen in crisis mode, after something breaks down or becomes a safety risk.

This session flips that script. Panelists will break down realistic lifespans for common indoor and outdoor athletic equipment, the maintenance practices that can meaningfully extend that lifespan, and how to build an inspection routine that catches problems early. You’ll also learn how to turn all of that information into a capital plan that protects your budget, your athletes, and your bottom line. Walk away with a clear, actionable framework for getting more years out of your equipment while staying ahead of what’s coming next.
