Gear recommendations for basketball, badminton, running, and more what to buy, what to skip, and what the regulars actually use.

๐Ÿ€ Basketball Club - Hoopers NITA

NIT Agartala has an active basketball club also known as Hoopers NITA. Here's are few essentials that you need before playing basketball.

Nivia Combat 2.0 Basketball Shoes
Basketball ยท Footwear

Nivia Combat 2.0 Basketball Shoes

When to buy?
- Complete beginner
- Tight Budget

I don't recommend going below range. Upgrade your shoes only when gamplay improves.

Shorts
Basketball ยท Apparel

Sports Shorts

MUST WEAR !

But if you already own something similar there's no need to buy. Any comfortable, breathable sports short works fine on the court.

Basketball ยท Apparel

Sports Jersey

Essential. Any sports jersey is fine the key thing is that it doesn't absorb and hold sweat. Look for polyester/mesh fabric that releases moisture quickly. Any brand works.

Sports Socks
Basketball ยท Accessories

Sports Socks (Pack)

Any sports socks work, just make sure you have at least 3 pairs. Sounds trivial, but you'll thank yourself later. Having enough pairs means you're never stuck with wet socks before a game.

๐Ÿธ Badminton

Shoes, badminton gear, and other sports essentials used on campus.

Badminton Racket
Badminton ยท Equipment

Badminton Racket (Beginner)

If you're an absolute beginner, this is the right place to start. You can go cheaper, but think of this as an investment you can always resell it later. Good enough to develop your game.

Badminton Shoes
Badminton ยท Footwear

Badminton Shoes

Before buying, ask a senior who plays badminton regularly or just observe what the "regulars" on court are wearing. Badminton-specific shoes make a real difference on the court vs. generic sports shoes.
