They have the best most reasonably priced L-Screens. We have bought two large L-Screens 5 years ago and they are still in great shape for our indoor facilty. Most recently we bought a bullet screen. Their products are durable and easy to assemble.

I ordered a wall mounted basketball hoop for my son for Christmas and installed it in my pole barn. I am very happy with the product. It’s a well made quality product that I’m sure will get heavy use for many years to come. I had one minor issue with an accessory item but Jake and Angel were great to work with, very responsive and quickly resolved the issue.

I order a crash pad to sit under a rock wall I built at home for my son. It is working so well!! He can fall over and over from the top of the rock wall because it is so thick and supportive. Makes me feel so much more comfortable watching him climb.

Ordered a new gaga pit from practice sports for our youth group and it is fantastic. However, what I am super grateful for isn't the high-quality pit. It's the fantastic customer service! We needed our new pit in hand for our fall kick-off and when I spoke with customer service, they were willing to help us get it in time and double check that shipping wouldn't be slow. If you're looking for a company that cares and is super genuine, trust me and go with Practice sports!

I was rehabilitating a playground for a non-profit preschool and needed playground border timbers to complete the job quickly. After shopping around, I was able to find what I needed from Practice Sports for approximately 1/4 the cost and 1/4 the delivery time of the other 5 options I approached. Highly recommend.

I was looking for artificial grass for a practice putting green. I called Practice Sports to see what they had available. I met with Tony and looked at what type of turf they could get. He had a swatch I could take home to see if it was what I was looking for. I purchased the amount I needed and it was delivered within 2 weeks. The turf was easy to install and I would definitely recommend Practice Sports!

I was looking for a one post pickleball system and chose Practice Sports because their price was the best I could find on the internet. The next day, I changed my mind and decided I wanted a two post system. I called their customer service number and talked to a very helpful actual human who worked with me to change my order. The one drawback was that shipping took three weeks.

Liza Williams

Practice Sports went above and beyond with their costumer service and communication. Our community park couldn’t be happier with the Gaga ball pit that we ordered from this company. Overall an excellent service. We highly recommend!!

Great customer service and an excellent product. My men’s league baseball team purchased an outfield fence (471ft in length, 5ft for each pole option) and we finally got some nice weather to set it up. Wow! It looks great. Sturdy material and easy to install, this fence has made our baseball field the envy of the city! I appreciated the customer service assisting me with which fence to go with and being there throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend this company and this product.

I built a basketball court at my home and couldn't be more pleased on how everything went. I worked with Chad Schneider and he was always professional and got to all my needs quickly. He helped me throughout the whole process and without his great service it would have been a lot harder project. I highly recommend Chad and Practice Sports, Inc.

Coach Zeena

20:04 02 May 20

About a year ago we used practice sports to outfit our entire facility. From nets, screens, turfs, and balls they provided great customer service and quality. We had a small problem with some of the softballs we received, but Practice Sports, Inc. handled it quickly and efficiently!

John Anderson

20:25 21 Apr 20

Worked with Chad Schneider at Practice Sports Inc when we were customizing our playground set. He was very professional and quick to call us back. Chad made great efforts to coordinate with our installer the delivery of our equipment and a seamless installation so our kids could enjoy their new gift. Furthermore, the first delivery some of the equipment was damaged and he was diligent on getting the new equipment delivered so there was no delay in finishing the install. Good company and a great experience.

I ordered the PSI NetShield for our indoor batting cage and it is great - does exactly what it says it does. The reason for 4 stars is the lack of real communication after the order is placed. Because the order is a bit custom (you specificy the size you want) there's no real confirmation or acknowledgement after you place the order and the card is charged. I reached out via email to the company and they replied promptly that my order was being prepared so they do respond - which is great. It just would be nice to have an interim notification once the order is placed and they are working on it. But great product!

Naruto

Practice sports is an amazing company to work with. Friendly and great service. Quick response on receiving orders! Would get all my products from them.
