After a terrible experience at another sporting good store and after calling a few local sporting goods places that turned out to be nice but WAY over priced I remembered seeing Monkey sports was opening. I called them first and spoke to the Manager Alex who was extremely helpful so I decided to take a ride over to the store. I was met by some of the most friendly, knowledeable staff who were patient with myself and my son. They were able to answer all of our questions and give us information on products etc that we did not even know to ask. In the end one of the Bats my son wanted was priced lower elsewhere. I asked the staff if they would price match and they immediately got their manager who could not have been nicer! Alex not only honored the price, but when we went to the register he gave a discount to my son who was purchasing another bat and paying for it himself. He told my son he did that because he respected him paying his own way. We also purchased a new glove and some other items like grip tape ect.

There was an older gentleman working with a customer buying ice skates. Other than him, there was a few younger kids that were just chatting with one another. I sat examining the strings to try to match up the correct strings with the ones currently on the stick (which I brought in to compare). One kid walked over to the older guy helping a customer not far from me, saw me, made eye contact, and immediately walked away to go back to his buddies.
Finally I went behind the string counter and grabbed a few bags to get a closer look. Once I started googling types of strings on my phone, two kids walked over and one asked if I needed help.
At this point, I was looking at strings for 10 minutes and turned him down because they clearly didn't want to work.
But that's what happens when you hire kids. It's not the firs time it's happened here, but I promise it's the last. Lifestyles Sports over in Wantagh is a little further for me, but I know the service is great,; I'll go...
Read moreMonkey Sports in Farmingdale has been a top notch community staple. Our organization met Ryan from Monkey Sports over a year ago and he has been nothing short of fantastic. He’s gone out of his way to offer the families in our league various promotions, he’s helped people source specific items they’re looking for, he’s even assisted with breaking in gloves and helping find highly sought after equipment. Ryan and his staff are available by phone, email, and text, and are timely in answering any questions someone might have.
Ryan assisted with placing a bulk order of baseball equipment that resulted in multiple pallets being delivered. He communicated the entire time, and offered multiple solutions for logistics to facilitate the delivery of the order. Ryan and his team went to far as to sponsor a division in our league, and has done multiple promotions where he gives away items to our players, and shows up to our opening ceremonies. The relationship we have formed with Monkey Sports is nothing short of amazing, and we’re extremely grateful for Ryan...
