Sporting Goods--Retail & Repairs

Most sports require sporting goods, equipment, accessories and apparel. Sporting goods stores supply the required equipment and can also make repairs.

Sporting goods include sports gear or sportswear, and sporting equipment. Sporting wear can range from uniforms for soccer, cricket, football, netball, tennis, rugby and hockey, among others to swimwear, caps, scarves, and collectible jerseys. Sporting equipment includes balls, nets, skates, sticks, pucks, goggles, helmets and protective gear. Many retailers now offer sporting goods repairs and spare parts.

Sporting goods suppliers cater for junior, amateur and professional sports needs, and are staffed with experienced and trained people to advise you on what will be best suit – whether it’s a tennis racquet, the right apparel, or the best fitting sports glove. There are usually changing rooms to try on sports gear to ensure a good fit. Retailers also stock sporting memorabilia, along with sports watches and other accessories, and as well as retail stores and showrooms, where you can receive personal assistance, there are many online stores offering a comprehensive range of sports goods and accessories.
