This duffel is very good for a young child's sports stuff. I bought it for my 9-year-old to use for wrestling, and it holds everything he needs - singlet, shoes, headgear, water bottle or sports drink, towel, snacks, and clean clothes for afterward. Zipper works well, no sticking. It's not too big and unwieldy for him to carry. Nice inexpensive duffel to keep everything together. Available in lots of colors if you want to match the school colors.
