Start with your school
For parents and schools

List the kit your kids have outgrown. Another family at your school buys it, you get paid, and the school gets a share.

The problem

Children outgrow kit long before they wear it out.

It sits in the garage

Boots that fitted for one season wait behind the camping chairs for a younger sibling who ends up playing a different sport.

New kit costs a lot

Meanwhile another family at the same school is buying the same size new, for the same Saturday fixture.

Group chats get messy

Swapping on WhatsApp works, sort of. Sizes get lost in the scroll, payments are awkward and the school sees none of it.

Every one of these could be paying a family back and kitting out another child.

How it works

Shop online. Collect at school.

ReSport is an online shop for each school's families. The room at school is only where kit is dropped off and picked up.

  1. Pick your school

    See what families at your school have listed, by sport and size.

  2. Buy it

    Pay online now, or reserve it and pay by card when you collect.

  3. Get a message

    We let you know when it's waiting in the ReSport room.

  4. Collect it

    Pick it up at school, often on the way to practice.

The app

The whole kit room in your pocket.

Most families will use ReSport on their phones. List kit from the garage, browse by school and size, and show a code at the room to collect.

  • Browse only your school, filtered by sport and size
  • List an item with a photo straight from your camera
  • Get a message when your order is ready to collect

Paying

Two ways to pay. Both are safe.

Online

Pay now, we hold it until you collect

Your payment is held in escrow. The seller is only paid once you have the item in your hands.

  • No cash changing hands at the gate
  • No chasing another parent for money
In the room

Pay by card when you collect

The room takes cards on a Yoco card machine, or with Tap to Pay on an iPhone. Look it over, then tap.

  • Good for trying boots on first
  • No cash box for the school to count
For schools

Four things and you're pretty much on board.

No stock to buy and no shop to run. The kit belongs to families until it sells, and the school gets a share of every sale.

01

A card machine or an iPhone

A Yoco card machine works. So does Tap to Pay on an iPhone someone at school already has.

02

A ReSport account

Register the school, add the people who'll help, and choose where the school's share is paid.

03

A room

An old storeroom, a corner of the hall or a container by the fields. Somewhere lockable with a few shelves.

04

Open

Tell families in the newsletter. The first listings usually follow the same evening.

Your room, your way

The school decides who runs the room.

It's a couple of hours a week: taking in kit that has sold and handing it to buyers. Whoever runs it, the school's share arrives the same way.

Questions

What people ask first.

Who owns the kit before it sells?

The family who listed it. ReSport sells it on consignment, so the school never buys stock or carries unsold kit.

What happens to money paid online?

It's held until the buyer collects. Then the seller's share and the school's share are paid out.

How much does the school get?

A share of every sale. For example, on a R330 cricket bat, R280 might go to the family and R50 to the school. Each school agrees its own split.

What if the item isn't what the buyer expected?

If they paid online, the money is still held when they collect. They can check the item in the room before the sale completes.

We don't have a card machine. Is that a problem?

No. Tap to Pay on an iPhone turns a phone into a card reader. And buyers who pay online don't need a card machine at all.
