Really appreciated the friendly service in this shop, and liked their selection…read more When it turned out that we wanted something that they didn't have (it was unseasonal stock), the sales assistant simply wrote down where we could find it. I think that's very kind. We will go back, definitely.

A family run business that really puts their heart into it. Not intimidating in the slightest and…read morethey won't pounce on you either (I hate that, especially in a sport shop)! Customer service is obviously at the fore front and they will go the extra mile. You feel as if you are getting advice from a good friend as opposed to a sales person. They have an array of sport offerings but particularly specialise in cricket, tennis, rugby and fitness. The items and clothing that they stock is of top performance but also looks really good. In particular I have purchased some great running gear that performs well, is comfortable and is well styled. They have a great eye for product. They are an exciting addition to the Hove and Brighton community. I am all for championing good local retailers such as Nick Rivett Sport.

I first went to the shop to buy some cross country trainers, which they had a large amount of for a…read moremiddle - sized shop. They have alot of womens, mens and childrens running clothing along with a really large range of sporty food items i.e energy gel, which looks like a thick blue capri sun. They have waterbottles, pens etc. They have lots of specialist equiptment for sporty people, such as Lacrosse sticks - i dont know how much they are meant to cost, but these were more than £100! There ate woggles, swimming cotumes and goggles. They had gum guards, hockey stick tape and lots of hockey sticks. They had a few PE kit bags, but maybe should have a few more. My favourite thing about the shop is the display of the running man.

What a great shop, a gem! I stumbled on this excellent shop only recently as I took a short cut up…read morea side road ext to Gap kids. The Guys in the shop were soo friendly and knew their stuff. I am an amateur runner just starting out but they also seem to cater for all runners including the much more advanced than me! This didnt stop them advising me on what shoes were appropriate for me without making me feel like I wasnt important to them, as some athletic shops do if you are not part of the elite. They also have a rather impresive running machine that they can film you to chech your running style. I hear they moved from a smaller unit down the same street, I guess great service and good products does pay off!!

Situated next door to Round the Bend, this shop deals with the more strenuous outdoor activity. I…read morecan vouch for this shop as I used it in my earlier days. It has great stock/kit for climbers up 8000m, and also for cavers, (not my scene)! Brilliant knowledgable staff who will let try kit outeven swing an ice-axe! Quite a busy road Tarrant Street so you'll be better buying your kit and then getting the car to pick it up.

This independent store sat right next to the Royal Pavilion is a real gem of a shop that has only…read moremanaged to stay in business because it knows what it's real sports people need. The shop looks small from the outside but as it is set over 2 floors it increases the floor space dramatically. The beauty of this shop is that it offers equipment for sports that you can otherwise struggle to find and they can give you a good insight into what equipment will suit you best. The 2 guys that own it I am almost certain are father and son and everytime I go in there they are both there involved in something. The first time I found out about this shop was when my friend took me to get his shirt printed with his name and number which they do brilliantly and can do all the proper lettering for most sports which really helps to make your shirt feel real. If you need something please go here first as this local shop really deserves, and has earned, our loyalty.

There's a good variety of sporting goods on offer at Swift Sports, and if I were the age where I…read morewanted to be getting football boots, this'd be my location of choice. It looks small from outside, but the store is pleasantly put together, and surprisingly deep so that you'll find there's more variety on offer than you may be expecting. The really special thing about this place is T-shirt printing. If you want your name or whatever putting on a jersey, then this place will do it at a damned descent price, at a good speed (if the machines warmed up) and to a fantastic quality. I came here with a friend when he was preparing his best mate in America's 21st birthday gift and have to say, that even as a novice to this kind of affair, I could appreciate why he dragged me through the rain soaked streets of Brighton to get here.
