Stacy

Virginia

We are a sports family, we do soccer, swimming, football, basketball, and karate. And anytime my family needs some equiptment for a sport, we go to our local play it again sports. The sales people are fast friendly and are just a good group of guys. We have supported our play it again sports since it opened and will continue for a very long time.


Jon

Washington

I had always held on to the baseball glove I'd had since about junior high school. It had become too small for me, and as I've gotten older I've switched to church-league softball, but I couldn't part with that glove. I finally went to Play It Again Sports because I wanted another lefty to have a good glove. The cash I received for selling it was far surpassed by the good feeling I have knowing there's a southpaw out there who's having as much fun with that glove as I did.

I cannot speak more highly of my family's experience with Play It Again Sports in greater Cincinnati. The name brand selection and pricing is outstanding and there is always great used merchandise coming in on trade. Given the tough economic times, Play It Again Sports has really helped make it possible for me to purchase quality baseball gloves, bats, sport shoes and golf equipment for my kids. I want to give a special “shout out” to the Play It Again Sports -Fields Ertel Road team. These guys are super friendly, knowledgeable and have to be the hardest working team in the Play It Again Sports network. We are in this store so much that we consider many of the staff part of our extended family. In fact, when we walk into the store, we are always greeted with a hearty welcome (kind of like when Norm walks into Cheers). Keep up the great work team Cincinnati (and see you again this weekend!)

Every time I leave play it again sports, (Richmond Hill location) I feel good. Good that I was treated well in a personalized "small town" service manner. The staff are always helpful and friendly. They discount on the spot and are sure that the product is right for me. What more could I ask. I will be back again. Adrian Pellew

I shop at PIA for all my sporting goods & accessories. Hockey, Baseball, Golf...you name it they got it & at great prices and a friendly staff too! As far as I'm concerned they are the sporting goods dealer for me.

New or used fitted head to toe from Play It Again. Often play hockey against my local Play It Again staff. They not only treat our adults well but they take care of my youth program giving time and equipment whenever needed. Thanks Matt, Travis, Joe and the rest of the gang.


James

North Carolina

So i play pitcher in baseball and i had recently took a year off from it. I noticed my aim isn't what it use to be so i went into play it again sports looking for a pitching target. I saw the item right away but the best part was the price it was only $75.00 which is about a third what other stores were sellling for. I will definitly be back and now they are my one and only sporting goods store!


JINA

ONTARIO

Wayne provided personalized customer service and made my rotten day (work related...) into a GREAT day. I look forward to my son getting on his new skiis as usual, will return to get my sports equipment!


Phyllis

MA

We have always shopped in Maine for our ski equipment. We accepted the fact that we were somewhat forced to purchase where ever we could find ski equipment. We frequented a store that would put our pre-teen daughter in brand new boots, when she was still growing. We spent a fortune. We left her used equipment with them to sell on consignment. They went out of business and the skis, boots, helmet and poles were never seen again!! When we came to your store in Augusta, ME, we were treated with a great deal of respect and provided with excellent used equipment that saved us a bundle. The bindings were adjusted to fit the new boots in a flash. I can't tell you how delighted I am with this store. By the way - it was highly recommended by employees at a restaurant in Augusta! How cool is that?


Dave

Arizona

I wanted to build up a single speed bike with my son and was shopping around for just the right bike. The local PIAS always has good deals and the staff is reasonable. I picked up an older Stumpjumper and my son and I proceeded with our father & son project. He still has it to this day and loves it! It was the stepping stone that got him into cycling; we both rode in this year's Tour De Tucson and he beat me by more than 30 minutes!


Lindsey

florida

I am a 24 year old student at the University of South Florida and have been very athletic my whole life. About 8 months ago I was asked to go golfing 3 times in the course of about a week. After declining 2 times I finally accepted the third request. I had played golf when I was younger but never on any kind of regular basis. I walked into one of your stores in Brandon FL and the staff was more than willing to help me find a set of clubs for under $40. They treated me like I was there to spend $4000 and never once tried to push me into something I didn't want. I have since then traded in my clubs and upgraded 5 times to now having a very nice set. I had an amazing first experience with your company and it is because of the staff (mainly the guy with the Goatee I cant remember his name) that I will stop in on a very regular basis and have never bought sports equipment, new or used, anywhere else. Thank you for your time, Lindsey


Kristy

Montana

My husband and I were shopping for a treadmill in order to achieve fitness goals indoors during the winter months. I was very pleased with the level of service I received at the Missoula, MT Play it Again Sports location. The features of the treadmill were described in depth. I initially decided to put a low end used treadmill on layaway, but then I had second thoughts and decided to spend more and get a new one with a warranty. I looked at other locations for a treadmill, but I found the staff at Play it Again Sports to be exceptionlly customer oriented. I will definitely recommend them to my friends or anyone else looking for sporting related items.

Hello, I'm Sean. I have been ice skating since the age of 7 and i'm now 18. I played ice hockey for four years and to this day, I still purchase all my skates and equipment from Play It Again. They have great service and always have the right gear!!! Thanks Play It Again!!!

Laurica

Houston, TX

Play It Again Sports was awesome with fitting and great on the dollar too! I'm a single mom with a 7 yr old just starting out in football. I visited other stores, but got no help AT ALL! I was so impressed by the time spent to ensure the perfect fit for my son! I will be a customer for life!


Julie Shand

Ontario

I have just returned home from our local play it again sports store once again feeling that the staff are so knowledgeable, resourceful and helpful. If only shopping was like that everywhere. I have two extremely active daughters so I find myself venturing into the store fairly often. Every single visit has left me impressed with the staff, the equipment and the sense of community I get upon each return. They have become the community central hub for all things sports. The staff have always taken the time to help us find the exact fit instead of the easy sell. Today we went in looking for ball hockey equipment for the very first time; one of the guys offered to help us out. It would seem that my daughter needed a small helmet with an extra small guard. He was very resourceful to put together exactly what we needed while trying to stay within a reasonable budget for a first time player. I have always had this kind of experience at our local play it again sports and will continue to do business there as long as there is a soccer, volleyball, baseball, basketball, ski/snowboard or hockey season in Canada! Oh I almost forgot tennis! Thanks so much for all your hard work Collingwood staff!


Jimmy

NY

After using the same Golf Putter for 10 years have been frustrated beyond beleif. I have never shot under an 84 and I had a feeling it was because of my old putter. I purchased a Dunlop Putter from Play It Again Sports for $25. My next two rounds of golf were 77 and 75!!! I am now enrolling into the Golf Acedemy of Florida, knowing that I actually am good at golf! Just needed the right equipment. Thanks Play It Again!


Kevin

I was putting together a team to play in the Cincinnati Broomball Association leagues (www.cincinnatibroomball.org) and was able to find very nice used hockey helmets and other gear at excellent prices. Thanks to the stores in Greater Cincinnati for being so helpful!


Hunter

i walked in to play it again sports with two used baseball gloves looking for a new one. once i turned the gloves in i got $20. i got a new used glove for $50. i was so happy and my team loved it.this is my team the Barracudas.


Jordan

New York

Well I love ice hockey, its by far the best sport there is. I needed new shoulder pads and knee pads and a girtle and new skates and a couple of new sticks on very short notice. I came to play it again sports with my old skates and goalie pads and my lacrosse stick and I ended up spending not even $300! what a great deal! I also needed a new hockey bag, hockey socks and gloves and a helmet, so it was worth the trade. P.I.A.S. is the best sports department there is!


Jimmy Cooper

Florida

Jason

Florida

I have not played golf in 25 years and this month I ended up having to play twice. I borrowed a set of golf clubs to play the first time. I enjoyed myself and wanted to play more, because I have friends that play quite often. I decided to buy inexpensive clubs to be sure I really wanted to play, I looked at garage sales, estate sales, auction sites and personal ad sites on the internet and discount golf sites and stores. What I found was either junk or overpriced. I stopped at the Play It Again Sports store at Largo Mall, the gentleman working let me in the store about 5 minutes early, asked me what I was looking for, explained options I might be interested in and did not try to pressure me into anything. I looked around the store for about an hour pricing used clubs that I liked and kept myself on a budget and walked out with a used iron set, a used driver, a used bag and a new putter, all name brand such as Wilson, Callaway, and Golden Bear and all for under $100. I am very happy and will continue to add to my collection at Play It Again Sports. Thank You, Jason.
