September is a busy month for the hardworking team at Play It Again Sports. After all, school is starting up again, and that means a multitude of fall sports are also just around the corner. For Mike Boback, owner of the Play It Again Sports in Kamloops, this is one of the busiest times of the year - in short, smart shoppers are keen to take advantage of the deals his store offers.

      

“Back to School means back to sports,” Mike tells us. “For Play It Again Sports, that means a whole bunch of fall sports, and everyone needs equipment.” Baseball, soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, hockey, skiing - the list that Mike rattles off is a long one. Both adults and kids are looking to get top-quality gear at a discounted price.

Play It Again Sports lets consumers trade-up last year's gear, while always offering great deals to those people just getting into a sport. As any savvy shopper knows, paying full price does not make sense when you can get the same item gently used or a new item at a discount. Nobody is more dialled into this fact than Kamloops parents. The gear that fit their child perfectly last season is suddenly way too tight this season, and buying new gear every year is a pricey undertaking.

Mike has established a win-win situation for those parents and sports enthusiasts. “We have gear that fits every budget in our Kamloops store,” Mike tells me, an ideal situation for those value-conscious parents with growing kids. Customers can bring in last year's gear and receive on-the-spot payment, store credits, or consignment options - while grabbing great deals on new gear at the same time. The best part is that the environment wins, too.

A Simple Philosophy: The Best Way to Recycle Is to Purchase Used

Play It Again Sports in Kamloops offers a great way to help the environment while stretching your budget at the same time. When you purchase secondhand sporting equipment, you are ensuring the gear sees a full life, while also preventing these items from languishing in a closet - or even worse, ending up in a landfill. It is this part of the business that really drew Mike in, he tells us.

“This is what I like most about what we are doing; we are helping out families and the environment at the same time.” Mike’s philosophy goes even further than just buying or selling gear, too. Play It Again Sports has another great way to save - rental programs. Why shell out for gear that you may only use a few times, only to have it depreciate or become obsolete? Renting gear also gives customers a chance to try out the gear before they buy it, a rare thing nowadays.

Even with the rentals, Mike has figured out a way that Play It Again Sports in Kamloops can help his customers out further. “Our rentals are based on a 24-hour period,” Mike informs us. Customers can pick up their ski package the day before they want to use it, so that they can head straight up the slopes and drop off the gear at the end of their day of skiing or snowboarding. The rental packages that Play It Again Sports offer also include cross-country ski gear and skates, family-friendly ways to get outdoors with minimal financial outlay.

The Play it Again Sports Kamloops website outlines everything you need to know; what gear is in stock, details about rental packages, and ways that you can up-cycle your gear. Of course, the friendly team at Play It Again Sports is also standing by to help in-store or on the phone at (778) 362-0621. You can find them at 101-805 Notre Dame Drive in Kamloops.
