Retro Sports

This place is always so quiet and has always had what we needed. We got our daughter a used glove to start her first season bc a new one was too hard for her to close. So our son is starting teeball this upcoming season so we decided to see what they had for him. We got a glove in amazing condition and tee ball bat practically new for less than $ 25! I love this place!

Every time I come here I have a great experience! I bought this huge dumbbell bench a few months ago. the guy was super helpful. I called him and had him measure it for me… I wasn’t sure if it could fit in my suv or in the place were I wanted to put it. one helped me carry it to my truck and everything!@ super nice guy.

I’ve dealt with Jacob at Retro for my lacrosse league, football and wrestling club. He’s very accommodating and great and communicating.

I went in here to drop off coupons for a tax service I work for.
Pros– I was greeted by a nicely dressed, mannered, and well groomed gentleman at the door of the place. If he was one step closer he would have opened the door for me but I beat him to the punch Lol… everything looked clean and in order, and from the looks of it, another employee was cleaning and stocking shelves. they had a large variety of sporting equipment and apparel I will check out on another day as my kids are in sports.
Cons– Wish this place was close to home and had another location I knew about. I have not heard much about this place.

Very great customer service. Jacob handled my ridiculous schedule and even had the shirts, shorts and hats done early! Highly recommend getting you sporting goods from here!

Great used and new sporting goods. Thank u for supporting local youth sports such as Fletcher Hills little league! Have been coming here for years to get our gear. Scored a great full olympic weight set her. Great service, good people!!!

I stopped today right before closing and they still took the time to help me find the right glove. Throw in they bought my old glove for a good price, have clean used tennis balls for my dog and steamed my new glove for free and you have a winner! I highly recommend! Thanks!

Poor customer service

This place is fantastic! I wanted to get a new baseball glove for my nephew’s birthday, but I don’t know very much about sports. I’d gotten some basic information from my nephew’s dad to help me find what I needed, and I figured that I could handle it from there.
As soon as I stepped into Retro Sports, I was greeted and asked if I needed help finding anything. I declined the help, because I thought I could handle it on my own. Once I walked over to the area with the gloves, I was pretty immediately overwhelmed by the selection. The distress must have shown on my face, because within a minute or two I was assisted by a guy named Jacob (the owner or manager, maybe?). After I explained my situation, Jacob helped me pick out a really awesome mitt for my nephew. The price was right, and even someone who knows as little as I do about baseball could see how great the quality was. I left happy, and my nephew loved his gift.
I’ve been thinking about getting involved in a local kickball league, so I’ll probably end up needing to visit a sporting goods store again soon. When I do, I’ll obviously be heading back to Retro. Thanks guys!

We have been there several times looking for various baseball/​softball items. Very friendly counter help and found good deals on both used and new equipment. Love that there was free glove steaming of our new Mizuno glove as well as relacing if needed. Nice local gem!

Love this place. They have always been helpful and informative. They helped us get custom gear for our team!

Went today to pick up baseball clothing. We weren’t greeted by anyone when we entered nor were we asked if we needed assistance.
I told the cashier that we had to buy two belts to return one b/​c we didn’t know what color to get. He said «ok» and stamped the back of my receipt. with their return policy instead of mentioning it as well. We didn’t get a «thank you for your business» or a «have a good day.»
There are many places in town with friendlier, more appreciative staff. As messy as it is, I’ll go back to Big 5 next time. The guys at Retro Sports acted like we were bothering them and that we’d interrupted nap time.
***NOTE ADDED ONLY A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER — Manager has offered to look into the situation. Pleased by his response and appreciate his attention to the matter. My kids do 3 – 4 sports each so we’d like to give our biz to someone local. Hoping for a better visit next time :)

Jacob and staff are great. Best lineup of bats, gloves and all your sporting needs. Tell them San Diego Baseball Camps sent you.

Where has this place been all my life?
Right now all of the water products are on sale for 50% off (and their prices are already so low!) Customer service is good but not above ordinary, my only –1. So go when you have some time to dedicate to checking out all the store has to offer– new and used sporting equipment mostly related to surfing, skateboarding, baseball, football, weightlifting, and other team sports.
