I recently decided to buy some proper running trainers and visited Alpha Sports for the first time…read more They are a small independents sports shop that sell a range of items such as trainers, swimming costumes, rugby equipment and much more. I am not an athlete or fitness guru, however the customer service was friendly and professional. The staff at Alpha Sports are very knowledgeable about biomechanics which I learnt was important when purchasing running trainers. I got to stand on a special heat sensitive board which helped select the correct type of trainers for my needs by considering my posture and how the weight was distributed by my feet. I then got to try on differing makes until I found the right pair for me. Alpha Sports also offer gait analysis for more serious runners. I would definitely recommend Alpha Sports if you want to find a pair of trainers that are tailored to your needs. The staff have a lot of knowledge and are happy to answer your questions plus give you the time you need to find your best pair of trainers so you don't feel rushed.

I remember going here when I was about 16 to get fully decked out for the new cricket season, and I…read moreremember that they had everything I needed in terms of cricketing equipment. A selection of bats (from low end to high end), batting pads in all shapes, sizes and weights, and a similarly wide variety of gloves and the now essential helmets. I also remember that they were willing to advise me in terms of exactly what I was looking for and how much I was willing to pay, and I clearly remember that they knocked 10% off the total price because I told them which team I played for. So I went back in last week, and gladly, nothing seems to have changed. I'll remember this place if I ever take up cricket again.

It stocks a fantastic selection of cricket equipment all year round, along with all other sports equipment. One of the major pulls of this shop is that PC Sports is the official outlet for all the local schools where you can purchase all school uniforms and accessories. A great shop on Yeadon High Street, with excellent, friendly and knowlegable staff. Well worth a stop by.

There are clothes to meet every budget, from makes like Berghaus. The other main focus of this shop are the rucksacks from small fashion items, to day sacks and rucksacks for serious hikers. Again well known makes are prevalent like Karrimor. There are the occasional selection of other items like lightweight camping chairs, LED torches etc. Friendly and helpful staff too, who offer good advice.

I like going to this place for my sportswear because it is a lot cheaper than other sports stores like JD or JJB. They have major sports brands here like Adidas, Nike and Reebok so you know you are getting good quality stuff. This shop has been running for over 36 years so you know it is a good place. The staff are excellent here and will help you in whatever you are looking for. In particular running shoes to suit your shape etc. Take a look at their website for more information and to order goods too.
