    First visit to Sports Basement in Long Beach and I'm impressed with the selection. It's in a big shopping plaza with easy parking, and the store is spacious, well-organized, and easy to navigate. The first floor is all camping, bikes, and travel gear, and the second floor had exactly what I needed: kids' soccer socks for $4.99, which felt like a steal. I also noticed they have a third floor for public events that you can reserve for free, which is a really cool community touch. I'm giving it 4 stars because the customer service was the weak spot. I went on a Friday midday, and every time I looked up for help at a counter or register, employees seemed distracted and on their phones, so the vibe wasn't very welcoming. Great store for selection and convenience, but the service needs work.

    Great selection and plenty of choices. They offer a wide variety of snow gear, bikes, clothing, outdoor activity equipment. The Service was excellent. Staff was very helpful and ready to answer any questions. Price wise it's a bit on the expensive side but the quality of the products makes it worth it. You definitely get good value for your money. They also have open play pickleball courts available on the 3rd floor. It can be reserved free of charge but requires you to sign up for a Basementeer membership (currently free in store) and sign an activity waiver.

    I've been frequenting Sports Basement Long Beach for about a year now and at this point, I'm there about once a month. Before they reached out about hosting backpacking clinics and workshops, I wasn't familiar with the brand. And now? I'm a Basementeer! This store is massive and includes three full floors of outdoor joy. The first floor is all retail and they truly have everything: Dodgers gear, running shoes, skis, backpacking tents, stoves, sleeping bags, nutrition, apparel... you name it. The second floor is a mix of retail and dedicated community space which is where we've held our backpacking workshops. And then there's the top floor, which is a huge open space used for pickleball and other fun activities. This place is an outdoorsy dream come true. The prices are great, the service is consistently fantastic, and their Basementeer membership program is one of the best deals out there. Plus they offer rentals, which makes gear so much more accessible. I've loved teaching here, shopping here, and just being part of the community they've cultivated. And now that there's a new South Bay location even closer to home? I'm ecstatic. Sports Basement is the kind of place that makes you want to explore more, learn more, and gear up for your next adventure. Can't wait for my next visit!

    Sports Basement took the place of a former Sears. I've been in a couple of times to take a look around and check it out. The entire 3rd floor is all pickle ball courts which is pretty cool! I went again today (11/29/25) to check out the "holiday fair" that was hosted by The 908 Magazine. They had small businesses and a couple of beverage options. The fair was a bit underwhelming which was a bummer because it's conveniently located right by my house and I was hoping to do a little shopping for Christmas. Perhaps next year will be better (if they decided to do it again). If you're looking for water bottles, apparel and such it's worth a stop to see what they have.

    I didn't come to shop. I came through to support my community's pickleball tournament. And to be honest, I thought it was a gym of some sort, so I was pleasantly surprised to find out it's a whole store with all kinds of workout and sports gear as well as a play area. And that play are is no joke. It was big enough to accommodate my community team's need for 5 pickleball courts. There was also space for snacks and drinks But there was still plenty of room for more courts. I noticed a table with a chess board set up for those who might wanna play. There was also a piano, which I thought was a bit out of place, but... why not, right?! I was already here so I did a quick run-through for their products, and the ultimate verdict is: IT'S VAST. They have anything and everything you need sports-related. I was on a strict schedule so I didn't really have time to shop, but when I return, I don't plan on leaving empty handed. My eyes caught a few things to buy for moi as well as give as gifts. FYI: There is a fee to rent the spaces for play. No reservations - first come first serve only. I hope the next tourney is held here again. Would love to return.

    Stopped by to see if they have any I would like to have for my snow trip this weekend. It's a huge store and has been here for decades and this is my first time visiting this place. They have everything you could think of. Well payout and spacious and height . Friendly & helpful customer services. They have all 4 seasons gears and sports equipments. It's a mini mall size from my POV. Cause it keeps going and going. Definitely will comeback to get more equipments since it's nearby and my kid needs some basketball & baseball gears for sure. Plus the values here is not bad at all comparing to the sport good places or had to wait for shipping when purchased online.

    Huge store that's sure to meet all your sporting needs! I'm more local to the Sports Basement in OC but this location blew my mind! Love that there's multiple floors, with the 3rd floor being used for social events such as trivia nights and pickleball. Employees were also very friendly and helpful. Will have to come back here more often, not just to shop but for their trivia and pickleball!

    Huuuge store with awesome selection. Upstairs is a huuuge space with pickleball courts?! How cool! Pluses: Big parking lot Clean restrooms Community events!

    Sports Basement is the sports store that sets the gold standard in my opinion. I remember sports authority, big 5 and sports chalet growing up and wish these guys were around. They make you feel like you're at a small Mom and Pop shop and have the best deals! They make sure to have the community involved in every way. With local events and hosting collaborations with run clubs and different sports. Got some sick used super blast and Mach x2 in the used section for a great deal too.

    I had the best shoe-shopping experience ever with Pat this morning. My wife and I both needed new running shoes, and we have been running for decades. We know what we wanted, and Pat was knowledgeable and helpful. He used to work at Runner's High before joining Sports Basement. Most of the shoes seem significantly less expensive than Big 5 or Runner's High. I used to get my shoes from Road Runner on 2nd Street, but I've found my new favorite shoe place. I can't believe some of the reviewers complained about the music. The playlist has some of the best 80's hits. We felt like we've been transported back in time to our high school years. The store is also very dog-friendly. You can bring your leashed dog everywhere inside. My dog even got a treat from the staff.

    We've visited the Sports Basement in Fountain Valley before, so we were excited to see a location a bit closer to us--now if only they'd open one in the SGV (hint hint)! This spot is huge, taking over what used to be a Sears, and even has a pickleball court on the third floor. The selection is extensive, the staff is super friendly, and best of all--it's pet-friendly. My husband was shopping for Asics and Hokas, and the team was incredibly helpful. He got to try on several pairs before finding the perfect fit.

While he was deciding and waiting for his turn, the clerks behind the firearm counter were speaking very loudly about "day drinking" and hoping to clock out in time for happy hour later that evening. One individual in particular (bald/sparse hair with glasses, someone I had not seen there before) seemed especially vocal about it. Hearing employees openly joke and talk about being intoxicated while working behind a firearm counter immediately raised serious concerns for me. Firearms require a high level of responsibility, awareness, and professionalism, and hearing staff casually discuss drinking while actively assisting customers was alarming. What made it worse was how loud and proud the conversation was. They were laughing and hyping each other up about drinking while customers were standing right in front of them. Whether they were joking or not, it reflects extremely poor judgment and creates a very bad look for a business that sells and handles firearms. It gives the impression that safety and professionalism are not being taken seriously. In an environment where safety should be the absolute priority, hearing employees casually talk and laugh about drinking while surrounded by firearms is incredibly concerning and completely unprofessional.

I have been in business for many years and have met thousands of people throughout my life, but every once in a while, you come across someone who leaves a lasting impression on your heart. Damien was one of those people. From the moment he greeted me, he treated me with kindness, respect, and genuine professionalism. Every word was spoken with courtesy: "Yes, sir," "Thank you, sir," and "It's a pleasure to help you, sir." His manners, patience, and willingness to assist were truly remarkable. As I spoke with him, I couldn't help but think back to my own teenage years. Damien reminded me of a time when respect, humility, and strong values were the foundation of a young person's character. Seeing such a respectful and hardworking young man today touched me deeply. In fact, I had tears in my eyes because it gave me hope and reassurance that there are still wonderful young people in this world. His parents deserve tremendous credit for raising such an outstanding young man, and Dick's Sporting Goods should be extremely proud to have Damien representing their company. He is a shining example of what customer service should be and what good character looks like. Damien, thank you for your kindness, your professionalism, and your respect. You made my shopping experience unforgettable. Young men like you are rare, and I hope your managers recognize what a valuable asset you are to their team. May God bless you and your future.

I returned to the store shortly after to exchange it for the same item in a different size. From the moment I approached the register, the cashier (ID #013191, no name provided) had an unfriendly and unwelcoming attitude. Her demeanor alone made the experience uncomfortable. When she processed the exchange, I was told I had to pay a price difference because the sale had ended. I understand policies, but this was a direct exchange for the exact same item--just a different size. A little flexibility or customer consideration would have gone a long way. She offered to ask a manager who was standing just a few feet away, but he completely ignored the situation and walked off without acknowledging us. That lack of support and accountability was extremely frustrating. At that point, I chose to request a full refund. I refuse to spend money at a business that lacks basic customer service and proper employee training--from cashier to management. It's especially disappointing considering my husband pays for a premium membership, only to receive this level of service. Overall, this experience felt dismissive, unprofessional, and not customer-focused. I hope the company takes steps to improve both staff training and customer care.
