We started going to Big 5 Sporting Goods when our kids joined the soccer team. Their prices are affordable and they have the best sales and coupon offers. The staff is always helpful and friendly. I've been to Big 5 way too many times that I know the Manager Wayne and Salesperson Jenny. They usually greet me at the door. Ha.
I like doing to Big 5 because it's not completely overwhelming like REI, Bass Pro Shop or Dick's Sporting Goods. I want to go in and out and get what I need and be done.
Let me tell you how much money I save here. During my last visit, I bought a Sklz 12x6 Quickster Soccer Goal. Regular price is $149.99. it was on sale for $119.99. I had a coupon for $20 off $100 purchase. I got a $150 soccer goal for $100!!! Wow. That totally made my day. And I ended up having extra money I collected from soccer parents for the goal and was able to buy scrimmage vests for practices too. SCORE!!!
Big 5 Sporting Goods is my go to spot for sports equipment. Every time! Ask for Wayne or Jenny, they are a huge help.
