We bought some new game pants for this coming up year, we bought the tunnel game pants from NIKE. Since they are not slotted and I know this sounds like a dumb question, how do you get the belt though the non-slotted pants? I tried it, but the belt goes about three inches and just crams up in there. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

We use our laundry pens to weave them in. Put the pen on the buckle and weave it in with the pen/buckle end first.

What kind of Laundry pins do you use? Our loops that hold our clothes are made out of cloth that also hold our socks. They are called Laundry Loops. Appreciate the help.

Sorry but we are a little old school with the laundry pins. We still use the large metal pens with each players number on it.

I think I know which ones you are talking about...................seems as I have seen them before somewhere. The seniors and Jrs and some of the sophomores will be fine doing them but some of the kids I know will struggle even with the big metal pin. I will go by the sporting good store tomorrow if possible or maybe even Wal-Mart carries them.

When we played we were not allowed to cut slots in our practice pants. Thus instead of having to do that every day or two I washed my practice pants like... NEVER.
As a coach when we got new practice pants this year and they didnt have belt slots I just cut slots in them and bang no kids who can't get their belt in.

Back in the day (late 50's to early 60's) they made a belt threader. I was made of a very strong cardboard like- material. It was about 8" long, as wide as the belt, and was two pieces rivoted together at one end. You slipped the belt between the 2 pieces and threaded the rivoted end through the pants. Worked great! Have no idea whether they still make them.

Use a wire coat hanger to pull it through.

we take 2 wooden tongue depressors and tape them together on one end. put the metal clip of the belt in between the tow pieces of wood and then feed it through the pants.

They do still make what we refer to as the "belt looper". I'm not sure where you can get them but they do make them just for that.
