Swimmers... if you are "serious" about your craft, then East Valley Sports may have what you need. I'm not gonna lie, prices are higher than most major retailers, but they offer some of those specific/unique swim-related items that big brand stores typically don't carry. They do have Grab Bag bins around the store with gear that is 40-50% off the MSRP (which means you know it's high already), so that can help. As a swim coach for a high school team, they did a great job with our order, and communication about our orders was clear. It is located in the "far" east valley, but easily accessible. read more

Dennis is amazing! Great quality and great people! I would recommend EVS to everyone!

Bought my daughters competition swim suits here. Great quality location and price. They had what we needed and more

They have stuff but it is priced higher then some of the other sports and fitness stores.... Def looking to take advantage of limited inventory by up charging read more

When they say "East Valley Sports" they aren't kidding. Really, I think all school and city teams get their uniforms or sporting equipment at this store, that's why I can't understand why it's so small. If personal space is important to you, leave your qualms at the door before you come in here because you will be [ass] cheek to [ass] cheek with the other customers. The staff is friendly and very helpful. They do have the best selection of speedos compared to Dicks, Sports Chalet, and some other places I can't think of the names of off the top of my head. Somehow, they have a large selection of every kind of sporting good packed into a small area. No joke- if you're looking for something you can't find anywhere else, call here and see if they have it, I bet they do. read more

East Valley Sports - Sporting Goods Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

If you are a swimmer, lifeguard, or swim coach, you MUST visit EVS! I have been in aquatics for 10 years and this is the best place I have found in the valley to buy all sorts of swimwear and accessories. They have a great selection of brands and styles, as well as clearance grab-boxes that offer great pieces for even better prices. If you are a lifeguard or swim coach, ask up front if they will offer you a discount. They are very generous to those involved in organized sports and organizations and are very willing to help. The customer service is unbeatable and there is something for everyone- from swimmers to baseball players, EVS is the East Valley's go-to sports shop. read more

I have been working EVS to print our Running club shirts for 16 years now. Dennis, the owner, when he first open did my son's H.S. letter jacket. Thru the past 20 years it is my go to place to buy my workout swimsuits goggles etc. I recently put an order in for 55 shirts to get printed. The front desk who took my order treated me as if it was a 1000 shirts, she took the time to make sure it was perfect. Shawn and Cliff the design team put together a drawing with my color combos and then sent them to be for approval. East valley sports is how every small business should be run. Teams, clubs, go check them out you won't be disappointed. What a jewel to have in the east valley! read more

East Valley Sports - Sporting Goods Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Had a very difficult time finding some baseball tee's at the last minute in a variety of different sizes. When the online shopping options had been exhausted, I reached out to East Valley Sports and they were able to order what I needed from one of their suppliers and it came in two days later. The woman I spoke with on the phone was very pleasant, as well as the employee who rang me up when I came to pick up the shirts. The prices were extremely reasonable and service was great. Would definitely recommend! read more

I'm giving it two stars because they pulled through in the end BUT, I should NOT have to make a fool of myself to get quality service. My sons wore their swim team suits (bad quality from a non-brand name) ONE TIME. And they only wore them for pictures and a start clinic. One suit had a hole by the end of the clinic and the other was completely see through. So I drove all the way out to the store with the suits and my receipt but the staff could "do nothing" for me because it wasn't a "defect". I was told "well it looks like he sat down or it got snagged". Are you kidding me?? Of course they'll sit down at some point in a swim team suit especially at a meet in between races!! Now that is TERRIBLE costumer service. At least they could have come back with ok, we're sorry how about 50% of the price? Nope, they weren't going to do anything!! After ten minutes of back and forth it wasn't until I was halfway out the door threatening to write bad reviews did they say ok just get another suit no cost at all. For that I applaud them because $$ is not an issue in my family I can and will pay for good product but when I pay for something and it is trashed after one use I expect the seller to stand by their product without putting up a fight. I'm disappointed they are selling this non-brand name crap to swim teams and then when they fall apart acting like it was user error. I'm a no nonsense person and can be assertive if I need to be... I wonder how many non assertive people they push over...... read more

This place is great! The folks are always so helpful! They are helping me out with an employee of the month plaque. It looked better then I even expected. They are very reasonable as far as price. read more

My child participated in local sports teams and clubs. EVS has everything my child needs for his sports. We've had a great experience each time we've stopped by. My son needed new goggles just as the summer season ended in stores for stocking goggle. EVS helped us figure out what style fit him best and they have lots of variety to choose from. Staff is very friendly! read more

My all time favorite sporting good store! They have everything! And if they don't have it they will either order it or figure out a way to get it. I've been shopping here for 12 years. I have 6 kids that are all very involved in sports. The customer service is awesome! You feel like family as they call you by name and pretty much know what you need for which kid according to the season of the sport. Jerry has been taking care of all of our high school football needs for years. Vicky is the kindest person to help you with whatever you need. I HIGHLY recommend East Valley Sports for any sports related needs. They are the BEST in Arizona!! read more

The staff was incredibly helpful with sizing and gear needs. The store had a great selection and was easy to navigate for our sporting needs. Prices were good and I'd definitely recommend! read more

This place is a hidden gem! We needed to exchange baseball pants for a smaller size (RMLL) and were directed here. Prompt service, reasonable prices and seemed to have everything for a lot of sports! We grabbed our better fitting pants (no charge), baseball socks, and belt to complete this year's uniform. We'll be shopping here preseason from now on! read more

Best place EVER! East Valley Sports was recommended to us by EVO Swim and now I know why. I have never had such outstanding customer service as we just had here. Jessica knew absolutely everything about every brand and item dealing with swim and helped my daughter tremendously. I would have been lost without her. Not only was the customer service out of this world, the prices can't be beat! Walked out with a brand new suit, swim bag, flippers, swim cap, and goggles for an amazing deal! Aaron, greeted us the second we walked in the door. He even went in back to find a shoe lace for me since mine was broken when we arrived. Thank y'all so much! We have found our new favorite sports store! read more

I have been apart of the Arizona swimming community for 18 years and have just now heard of this place. The swim suit collection was pretty large and lots of markdowns. Vicki was the associate who helped me out, and she was beyond helpful and strived to give me a solid holiday deal. Much appreciated, and definitely going to spread the word about this place to my fellow AZ swimmers! read more

Under normal circumstances I would rate EVS with 5 stars. However, my recent experience with Jerry Hunt has been a nightmare to say the least. Let me provide some background. I have placed orders with other companies for Team stores (i.e Eastbay) I have never had a problem with an order until I placed one with East Valley Sports. I am utterly disgusted by the service I received from this one employee. I had called on numerous occasions to check the status of my order. I also informed the employee to CALL me when the order was ready and I would personally pick it up. The employee took down my information and he said he would call me. A little more background, I have placed an order for football cleats prior to this one. The school was able to deliver the football cleats to my son while he was on the bus heading to camp. (Which is crap) Needless to say, my son had to break in his new shoes at camp. He came home from camp and his feet were blistered and bleeding among other things. Now that I have provided a little more background. This is why I wanted to pick up the order I had PAID for. My son has a game tomorrow and we are NOT in receipt of any of the items I PAID for. The employee provided numerous excuses. The last excuse was to refund me my money. With the game tomorrow, how is this solution going to improve the current situation? A better solution would be to deliver the items I purchased to my doorstep TONIGHT! This a total shame. When my son was in track I never had a problem! I am always greeted at EVS when I go in person and love the customer service and the knowledge of the staff!! I am extremely grateful for those employees. EVS you have penetrated the market for athletic gear for schools. The high volume of orders placed is expected. I would think you would have a better strategy in place to handle the volume and meet customer satisfaction. According to your website, "East Valley Sports values its relationships with customers and enjoys working with them one on one to deliver the best service and assure you get what you want when you want it" This is not the case in my situation! Respectfully, Christine Balfany-Meagher, MBA, RHIA read more

Excellent customer service! Had custom shirts done. The service was more than I ever expected. I will definitely use them again and again! D Lewis read more

This place is small and jam packed with sports attire. I had to take some deep breaths to keep my claustrophobia in check when I walked in. However... We came here to pick up our kids swim team swim suits for this season. When we walked in I first looked for someone who worked there to see if they knew exactly what suit we were supposed to get as it didn't say on the registration form (the reg for just directed us to this store). I didn't see anyone past the jam-packed store opening. I went off to the side and started looking through the swim suits to see if I could see anything directing us to what we needed...no luck. My husband spotted someone at a counter towards the middle of the store so I went to ask about the designated swimsuits my kids needed. The guy working was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about what my kids needed (size, how it should fit, care of the suits, etc). He was patient with us and didn't waste our time- we were in and out in less than 20 mins. While he went to the back to get a different size for one of my kids another sales associate came and asked if I needed any help, so that was nice. She was also very friendly and I noticed the next person she went to, she was helpful to them and did a great job answering the other customers questions as well. I should also add that once I got more acquainted with the store I noticed small stickers on the shelves next to the boxes of swimsuits that told which team they were for. Helpful...if I knew to look in that area. They supply so many teams with their uniforms- Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe. It would be really great if they could open another store that isn't so far into east Mesa. The store was busy, everyone getting their swim gear for the season, and with it being the only place to buy this stuff it felt a little crazy dropping over $60 for 2 swimsuits so I really hope they last all season. With the tips the sales guy gave, they should ... hopefully. East Valley Sports is a great resource for sporting attire and the sales staff is very kind and helpful. I would probably give 5 stars if the store was a bit more organized and if a sales associate would have looked for us in the beginning versus us having to look for him. Especially since we had to make sure we had a very specific swimsuit. Overall, great place! read more

This place has everything I need whenever I go in for swim gear. The only bad thing about it is that it's not 24 hours a day!

Dennis and his team are awesome. Always happy to help. Absolutely love doing business with them. Highly recommend.

I recently ordered some visors for my daughters softball team. Not only did they turn out amazing but it was a such a great experience. Fantastic customer service! They were in constant contact with me regarding updates and arrival time. I plan on using them over and over! Great company! read more

Was in the market for some new football gear for my nephew, I checked this place out and it was amazing!! I live in Tempe but it was well worth the drive. Great prices, great service all around I would recommend this place to all families for any of your sporting equipment needs. They made me feel very welcome and you will definitely have my business from here on. 10 out 10!!!!! You guys are great read more

Nikki was terrific helping me figure out where our swimsuits were and when they'd be arriving. Thank you!

Love the store.. Been a customer for 8 years..always get great customer service.. Dennis and Vicki always super helpful.. - David

Unparalleled customer service! EVS is our swim team store. Besides team gear and a few odds and ends (goggles, fins, snorkel, etc), until today we have always shopped online for her equipment needs. After our INCREDIBLE experience they will be our number one stop for all of our sporting needs! To make a long story short, my daughter has regionals this weekend and we have one cat shredded tech suit and 3 ordered online, of which none fit correctly. She was beyond upset and inconsolable until it dawned on me to call EVS and see if they could help. Tyler was incredibly knowledgeable and suggested we come on down and he can help her find a good fitting tech suit. When we arrived we were greeted with a smile and the tech suit I asked about on the phone waiting for us behind the counter. Without exaggeration, my daughter tried on NINE tech suits because Tyler went out of his way to search for endless options to help us. He found her the perfect suit and the part that makes him and EVS even more special is that they close at 6pm and at 650pm my kiddo was still pulling on tech suit after tech suit. Jerry was also inconvenienced by us and stuck at the store, but he too was empathetic and never once rushed us. The prices were amazing so I strongly suggest that everyone with swim needs head to EVS without hesitation and you will be wonderfully surprised like we were tonight. Tyler, I cannot thank you enough for mending my kiddo's sad heart and showing me that there are people who understand how important this is to her. You went above and beyond anything that I could have even imagined and we are so grateful to have had you in our corner tonight. When she drops time this weekend, we have you to thank! read more
