Their staff are nice, friendly and helpful. Plus the prices of the goods, reasonable and great, especially when it on sales.

The person helping looked uncomfortable, so I asked what their return policy was and he said "90 days even if the box is open." So if I buy it and open in the parking lot and don't like it I could return it no question asked which makes no sense. He agreed so he said let me check with my manager first. After a long wait he said the manager said buy it and go out in the parking lot. Great customer service......unbelievable.

Overall, a reliable spot to pick up sports essentials, whether you're shopping for practice gear or something more specific. The staff is helpful and friendly. I wish they had more deals or some type of rewards system. Overall, my son loves this place.

I wouldn't say the staff is very knowledgeable about what they sell. I've been here a few times…read morewith my sibling to shop for hiking, snowboarding, and rock wall climbing gear/items, and during each visit, the staff wasn't sure whether they carried the items we were asking about. They usually direct us to a general area where the item might be located, but don't offer much more guidance than that. More often than not, we end up leaving empty-handed and ordering the items online, which we probably should have done in the first place...but we wanted to check them out in-store before buying. Strangely enough, it's also always extremely busy whenever I visit. That means long lines and chaotic parking situations... I've even seen a few near-accidents in the lot. Overall, I wouldn't really recommend, but here I am back again.

Sports Basement is truly a gem of a store. Literally everyone there is so nice and positive,…read morecustomers and employees alike. It's hard to say that about every (or any for that matter) commercial retail business. They have just about everything you could need for sports, hobbies, little league, etc., and the selection is solid across the board. I've also brought my bike in for a couple of tune-ups and have had nothing but great experiences each time. I really enjoy the investment in the community that SB does. They have pickleball courts and pool tables on the third floor that are open for community use, and they regularly host events across their locations, which is pretty rad. Overall, Sports Basement gets my business every time over other major sporting goods stores. Great people, great vibes, and a strong sense of community.

Wayne who has worked at REI ( different stores) for 17 years helped me find the right shoes. His recommendations were so different than AI but I found a shoe that has the arch support and stability . It was an awesome shopping experience. As much as we love technology, there's nothing better than an in person experience with a salesperson who knows what's out there.

Wayne was incredibly helpful; I came in feeling lost while trying to choose new running shoes, especially as a beginner training for a marathon. Even though the shoes selection part was short staffed, he still took the time to walk me through the differences between options and helped me feel confident in my choice. Honestly, if I had asked for help the first time, this probably wouldn't have been my second purchase. The department itself is spacious and wellorganized, with a great selection for a variety of outdoor activities.

Came in looking for a new bat for my son, and was impressed with their selection of used equipment…read moreas well. My son liked a few of the options in the used area so we picked one up as they're all priced quite fair. Their used equipment comes with a 10 day warranty, and we inadvertently put that to the test. The first bat we tried appeared to be in good shape, but it unfortunately had some sort of issue and it just didn't have any pop left in it. We brought it back and they took it back with zero hassle. We traded for the other one we were looking at and it worked just fine. Friendly service, a warranty that they stand behind, and really fair prices for their used gear. Sports equipment isn't cheap, and kids grow quickly, so I can't recommend a place Play it Again enough. :) We'll be back, and you should as well.

I recently went to snails pace, but Jen WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I was just exploring different options and she was able to give my gf and I some pointers. Without any equipment or fancy machines she grabbed our shoes and was able to take a look at how we walked. She said I was normal, but my girlfriend's feet were supinated looking at the bottom of the shoe. WE WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZED. I tried 5 different pairs but she was able to give tips on running a marathon as well! My pair of Saucony Guide 18 were only $98 with the discount we get. I got some Feeture socks as well and it was very comfy on my run. Thank you so much!

We absolutely love Sports Basement--this location has quickly become our go-to. The store is super…read moreclean, well organized, and has a great selection for everything from camping to everyday outdoor gear. We actually prefer this one over the Long Beach location. The only downside (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is that no one mentioned the Basementeer membership discount to us during our first visit--even while we were checking out. We ended up discovering it ourselves later and signed up online, and it's such a great deal that we definitely would've used it on that first purchase. Overall though, still a fantastic store with a lot to offer--we'll definitely keep coming back!

She asked if I could stop by Target on the way to the park but I said, "No! We're boycotting Target!" and I went with the next best thing, BIg 5. I called to check and see if they sold kites and the guy that answered said, "Tights? Yeah we sell tights. Like workout..." and I interjected and yelled, "KITES not TIGHTS! KITES!! The thing that you fly at the park!" and he said, yes they sold kites. I arrived 5 minutes later and was greeted by one of the male employees who asked, "Hi, can we help you find anything?" and I said, "Yes, kites please," and he said, "Oh yeah, tights are right over ..." and I yelled, "KITES!! NOT TIGHTS!" He laughed and directed me to the kites. I ended up buying some Velcro mitt with a tennis ball and a cool pink frisbee as well. I think I paid around $20.
