How to fly with a field hockey stick on airplane?

[Anonymous]

What type of bag can I use to get my daughter field hockey stick on a plane for field hockey camp and tournament? Any creative ideas to avoid having to buy something we will use less than a handful of times.

Bubble wrap? I mean you'd have to buy it but it would cheaper than a ski bag.

Or borrow a ski bag? As someone who owns a ski bag, I'm not using it at this time of the year so I'd happily lend it.

Bags are cheap. You will probably use it more than you think. My daughter flies with her stick 2-3 times a year.

Go to play it again sports and buy an old school lacrosse stick bag. Shouldn't cost more than $10.

You can afford the airfare and the hotel, but not the bag? Please.

This won’t help if you are going alone to camp/clinics. But if your team is going together, there’s usually a family who drives (no matter how far) & is happy to transport sticks. Goalies also often take sticks for teammates.

But buy the bag. You will use it.

DS flew with a baseball bat once, last minute so he didn’t have a bag. Bubble wrap, covered in trash bags, and duct tape worked fine.

Longstreth has field hockey bags for ~$30. Put stinky turf shoes at bottom, Wrap stick in a pair of sweatpants, a golf umbrella for parent, and a practice ball. Grocery store wire tie the zippers together, and check the bag. Have never had an issue.

This. My girls play softball but usually whoever drives takes everyone's bats.
