My son wanted a new bat after the holidays and so we went to Dick's. As soon as we walked in and began to look at the bats on display Nate greeted us and made us feel welcomed. He listened to my son who is only 10 and treated him with the same respect as he did me. After understanding what he wanted Nate shared with us it would have to be ordered. He did everything right there with us. He ordered the bat and discussed all the warranty options and how to handle if we had any issues. I was very impressed. My son was so happy when it arrived only a couple days later. Nate was professional and knowledgeable about so much more too. We have since been to the store a couple of times since and were welcomed and greeted just the same. Thank you Nate and DSG for supporting our athletes and families in a unique way!

Love Love Love my new little Yeti roadie 8 cooler in Rescue Red!…read more I needed a new small cooler that was perfect for day trips out & about & the little "Yeti roadie 8 in Rescue Red" is just perfection. La vie en rose OuiOui. It holds up to 12 cans or just a few with some Sammy's/Foods. Perfect for a short trip to the beach also. I don't like to carry a lot & my other yeti is just too heavy for me to carry, so this one is perfect for trips by myself or with Sir Hubbers. It comes in tons of colors but I looked around & decided the Rescue Red was the one I needed to Rescue! Hahahaha. We usually stop in here for Sir Hubbers athletic socks and/or golf balls, somehow he loses a lot of both lol However, we usually find some fun casual t-shirts, caps, & fun camping gear here also OuiOui. We have a fun little gas Coleman gas stove we take camping. We usually get the little fuel containers here for it. There is also TONS of fishing gear, something for everyone, a complete sportsman's paradise. This store is always very nicely organized & clean. Service always comes with a smile :) That's what keeps us coming back! "Capture the Fun" at Academy! hahahah. Highest Recommendations:

First time I went in just after moving and the young man suggested the Tampa running magazine and explained about how races are set up. He then walked me around and pointed out how the store could help me as an athlete. Very helpful! Then I just walked around and looked at products and shopped for items I was considering. I found the energy enhancers I was looking for to help me with my races and he assisted me with a few products I wanted to try. My second visit, I had a yelp coupon and was able to buy a pair of shoes and get $20 off the shoes. Fantastic! I didn't even need to buy the coupon, they just gave it to me. What?! Great shoes, great service!

Additionally, Feet First has a 30 day guarantee on their shoes for any time you have buyer's remorse. I also want to share a small anecdote that demonstrates the nature of this store. I have a pair of Shokz OpenRun headphones, but I lost the proprietary charger when I moved here. I asked the person running the store if they sold the charger for these headphones since they sell the headphones themselves. They unfortunately did not sell them, but the woman gave me one of her extra chargers at no cost. Wow! They have my business for life!

This place is like a candy store. No need to go to five different stores, they can feel all your needs at this location. They had no problem talking to me about scuba recertification even though I'm 68 and have not know in over 20 years. Now that I'm retired I have a lot of catching up to do. If I'm not home, in the woods, on the water, under the water or on snow, you can find me at Bill Jackson's.

I am a younger sibling and so my life has been filled by the blessing that is known as…read more"hand-me-downs." Unlike a lot of people hand-me-downs are something I seriously lean into. Something about giving a second life to a preloved item just feels so right. Play It Again Sports is a Mecca of preloved sporting gear/toys. My most cherished possession from Play It Again is my rollerblades. I use these blades almost daily. I like to think at some point they belonged to a 10 year old boy named Tommy. I'm really hopeful that Tommy got some fun mems with them, and even more than that I am grateful that Tommy's mom relinquished them to Play It Again at some point. The staff are super friendly and helpful. I like to call the store to inquire whether they have what I'm looking for and they are always so diligent and communicate so clearly and in great detail what it is they have that might meet my request. They are keen to sports, meaning they actually have a lot of knowledge that would be helpful if you have questions about gear specifics. The best part of shopping second hand (unless you're like me and genuinely believe in the sustainability factor) is obviously the deal. The prices cannot be beat..seriously. The blades I previously mentioned would have cost at least $45.00 from a box store or Amazon AND I would have had to wait up to a week to get them, because believe it or not rollerblades are not kept on shelves regularly. At Play It Again I spent $25 for 2 pairs of rollerblades, 1 kids size (Tommy's) and 1 regular adult women's size (I believe they probably belonged to a Meredith). Both blades got some serious sanitization and the bearings got a little cleaning and some lubricant, after that they were ready to roll. I cannot recommend this store enough. Especially if you're looking for something super specific and in a time crunch.

I tried on several pairs of shoes following a thorough assessment and went back and forth multiple times on a decision. The assessment is multiple steps and extremely informative. I felt like I had his attention the entire time and their other saleswoman was helping someone and there was an additional person greeting others. I left feeling comfortable with my decision. I got to run on a treadmill in all the para to test them out, and while having my gait assessed. They have a great selection of shoes and other running equipment. The prices are comparable to any big store or online and this way I knew my money was going to a small local business. The store is clean and organized. Restroom was very clean.

The staff as well, educated and well-versed, and how she was work for overpronation, if you're a runner or a walker, what kind of running you do, they measure your feet I mean, who does that anymore who measures your feet?? And they measure at two different ways. They bring out five or six pairs to start of what they think will be good for the way your foot works. They give you socks to try on the shoes. And when it comes to buying some new socks, if you can't find socks here to wear with your tennis shoes, they simply don't make them. They have loads of cute socks.. and not the cheap stuff that falls apart after two or three Plus, they have a huge selection of Oofos, for both men and women. Orthopedic doctor suggest those to wear as flip-flops because of the way they help your foot and knee. Emily was my shoe fitter and amazing knowledge person extraordinaire and gave me lots of choices and was fun to work with. There's really no other place in the St Pete area to buy shoes and it doesn't matter. If you're not a runner you will get the best fit here for any kind of tennis shoes you've ever put on your feet. Go here. !

My first job out of high school was in a warehouse, and I was required to wear steel-toe boots. Red Wing came through for me then, and later when I became a manager in another, similar warehouse environment. Yes, Red Wing footwear does cost a little more but it is totally worth it! You receive 100% quality and service here. They even have a machine that measures each foot individually. With proper care, my first pair of leather Red Wing boots lasted me nearly 10 YEARS! My second pair are 9 years old now. That really says a lot about the quality of footwear sold here. Tough as nails, and built to last. If you work on your feet, Red Wing is "THE" place for all your footwear needs! Plus, they also have some fancy $20 insoles that make "standing-all-day" much less painful. To conclude, you will receive more than your money's worth here. Red Wing sells serious footwear, for serious working folk. Give them a chance and you will not be disappointed...
