A place is deserving of 5 stars when it consistently meets or exceeds high standards in its…read moreproducts quality (food taste/presentation/freshness, etc) and customer service. I would also rate it 5 stars when I can recommend the place wholeheartedly, even after a first visit. For example, a restaurant that was able to deliver a love at first sight experience would be a very memorable meal where we were wow'ed by its choice of ingredients, food taste, or food presentation plus it provided excellent service. And in this case, I had been consistently impressed by Rackets & Runners' product selection and their customer service on many repeat visits PLUS I can vouch for their 5 stars rating even from my first initial visit. No sympathy stars were granted here, this is truly a place deserving of solid 5 stars for the shoppers seeking expert knowledge and patient service on rackets and runners. Good selection of tennis rackets, pickleball rackets and running shoes. I didn't look for badminton rackets here nor did I seek help on other racket sports like ping pong but they have excellent service, even over the phone, so feel free to call their store before dropping by if you have questions about what sporting goods or brands they carry. I was referred by friends to come here to rent tennis and pickleball rackets before committing to a high end racket purchase and their demo program was great! I appreciated the staff knowledge and paying a small fee to rent an expensive racket for playing on the court was helpful. Trying demo racquets made a huge difference for me in figuring out my playing style and racket preferences. Also, the staff advised me on subtle differences in various brands and were not pushy in making a sale. The staff here are helpful and patient so I enjoyed shopping here when I am looking for expert knowledge for a racket that will last me for years. In short, their expert product knowledge and genuine customer service plus helpful attitude truly sets them apart. Finally, they do carry discounts and clearance deals on rackets & runners so you could score a bargain but consider that as a bonus. Also, I would opt to buy sporting goods such as tennis balls, pickleball racket bags or ping pong rackets online or at chain sports store. Prob easy to find cheaper deals online on Amazon or sale prices on brands not carried at this store but no outlet stores or online retailers can offer such a good demo racket program like them. So I recommend this store for shoppers who would gain benefits from their demo program or for shoppers wanting to try out a racket to deem if it is the best fit. IMO, investing in a good racket is great value for improving your game in the long run. (Yup, let's end review with a play on words lol) Ps. They organize a run club for a membership fee, scan QR code in photo if interested.

This place has been here forever and the quality of products as well as the customer service and…read moreknowledge have been consistently great! The place isn't big but it has a steady amount of people going in with a purpose and coming out with a purchase. The staff know their department products. I was looking for a pickle paddle and they were really on top of their products! I am always happy about this place and always leave with the product I want. A bonus is that they don't sell you unnecessary things you don't need or don't pressure you to buy. The parking lot is small, but street parking is free.

Ok forget my previous review - Coach Howie is great ! He would definitely be my go-to if I want to…read morebe hitting at a higher level in the future . Personally I think my basic groundstrokes are quite established , it's just that my cardio's not keeping up at the moment so more work's needed on that front ( too much eating perhaps :D ) . Anyway I received nothing but good advice and helpful suggestions from a veteran who has almost 40 years of coaching experience and was previously one of the top 10 players in BC . Yes one can easily spend hundreds or more on equipment and stuff alone but I'd highly recommend you splurge on lessons instead . You won't regret it .

Yay! They have new staff that are trained! ... since the last time I was here in 2019. Good job…read moremanagement! My review is just on the indoor bubble courts, lighting and cleanliness. All passable for Richmond Public Standards. Compared to the old bubble, it is now much brighter, air is less dusty, cleaner floors and the entrance to the bubble is much wider and you are not squeezed in hugging your bag at the revolving door. I haven't taken classes here before, but to the previous reviewer... 4 classes at $80 for a group class is value. Learning tennis fundamentals takes years and if one was more aggressive and adamant, I'd suggest one take private lessons and find people to practice with. A beginner course is an intro class and exposes one to the sport, not a crash course. A crash course for any level would be in the thousands.
