A sports equipment rack for supporting sports equipment in an angular manner. A pair of side frame members having an elongate main body section and a plurality of support arms projecting outwardly and upwardly from each main body section. Pairs of retaining bars are positioned on said support arms and are aligned in a plane forming an acute angle with respect to vertical, to thereby support thereon sports equipment in an angular manner, with the equipment directed downwardly toward a vertical surface upon which the shoe rack is placed. The support arms, upon opposite side frames, traverse side sections of the equipment to form a barrier against lateral movement of the equipment. Additionally, each side frame member includes a unique prong for hanging the rack on an upright surface such as a door. A pair of cross bars are positioned between the opposing side members. A plurality of outwardly opening hooks are slidably attached to said pair of cross bars. Further, a pair of unique bat holding members are fastened to at least one of the support arms.
