If you have a budding athlete running around the backyard, you know one thing for sure: they live and breathe their favorite sport [1]. They watch every game, take notes on every play, and spend endless hours at practice. We've rounded up some Halloween [2] costume ideas for your sports-obsessed kid. And the best part? You can DIY [3] these costumes [4] with things you probably have lying around in the garage.
Football
If your little one simply cannot get enough of their top NFL team, dress them up like a quarterback from your fantasy football pool by ordering a kid-size professional jersey [5] ($75) and pairing it with a pair of football pants [6] ($30). Finish off the look with some shoulder stuffing and black face paint (or eyeliner, if you want to save a few bucks) if they really want to look like the real deal.
Soccer
Take the standard soccer uniform up a notch with an inexpensive jersey [7] ($20), a pair of shin guards [8] ($3-$5), and a brand-new soccer ball [9] ($18) they'll kick around all night.
Golfer
Nothing says fore like an adorable mini golfer. Start by pairing slacks with a kiddie collared shirt [10] ($30) and round off the look with a sweet visor [11] ($15). And if your kid doesn't have their own set of clubs, no worries. After all, who wants their kid parading around on Halloween [12] with a giant metal stick anyway? Opt for cheaper plastic clubs [13] ($10) that are way easier to tote around.
Tennis
If your kid's obsessed with Roger Federer, you can dress them just like him in no time. Just throw on a tennis shirt [14] ($42) over white shorts and a matching hat or headband [15] ($10) if they want to go full-on Federer. Top off the courtside look with sneakers, grab a racket [16] ($11), and you're good to go.
Lacrosse
Whether you have a girl or boy, there's a bit more equipment that goes into looking the part of a serious laxer compared to other sports. Get the look without breaking the bank by having them throw on a lacrosse pinnie [17] ($14) over long running shorts. Amp up their uniform with a pair of colorful high socks [18] ($11) and a Fiddle Stick [19] ($20), which is a mini version of the adult size. Don't worry about adding gloves or a helmet if you can't borrow one from a friend or older sibling — they're pricey and too bulky for trick-or-treating, anyway.
Basketball
Kiddos who make it rain on the court after school can gear up to look like their fave NBA player by snagging a professional jersey [20] ($30), basketball shorts [21] ($7), and a hot pair of kicks [22] ($20).
Field Hockey
Take your basic pair of shorts or skort [23] ($17) and add a short-sleeved shirt and a field hockey stick [24], ($10) and you're out the door in seconds.
Volleyball
Volleyball enthusiasts can channel their inner Misty May-Treanor by wearing an oversize t-shirt with spandex shorts [25] ($14) and knee pads [26] ($15). If they have long hair, throw it up in a ponytail or try an intricate braid, and they'll ace Halloween [27].
Swimming
Add a pair of googles [28] ($10) and a swimming cap [29] ($3) to their favorite Speedo and shorts. Pro tip: make sure you bring a jacket for when the sun goes down — Autumn nights can get really chilly.
Baseball
If your tot is obsessed with America's favorite pastime, pick up a pint-sized baseball jersey [30] ($35) and a matching hat [31] ($20). Remind them to bring their mitt and add a little eyeblack before going door to door.
Cheerleading
There's absolutely nothing cuter than a toddler-size cheerleader. Get them in the spirit by getting a three-piece cheerleading outfit [32] ($10) and, if they have long hair, doing it in pigtails.
Ice Hockey
Go for the goal with an ensemble that's equal parts cute and warm this All Hallows' Eve. Just put a hockey jersey [33] ($36 and up) over black pants, and accessorize with a helmet [34] ($40) and a plastic hockey stick [35] ($3) that won't grow heavy in their hands as the night goes on.
Track and Field
Run like the wind by pairing a lightweight tank top [36] ($8) with short-shorts and comfy running shoes. Add a baton [37] ($4) and make a race number for an extra sporty flair.
