Academy Sports + Outdoors

Located in the Elmwood commercial district off Clearview Parkway, Academy Sports + Outdoors serves as a key athletic retail and equipment hub for the Greater New Orleans tennis community. Local players heading to neighborhood hard courts in Jefferson Parish or clay facilities across the metro area rely on this location for essential gear and technical supplies. The store features an extensive racquet sports department stocked with frames, strings, grips, pressureless and match-grade tennis balls, and court-specific footwear designed for hard and clay surfaces. Rather than hosting private matches on-site, the Harahan branch supports active league competitors, high school players, and recreational hitters preparing for matches throughout the region. Staff members assist with equipment selection, string tension recommendations, and gear upgrades. Convenient store hours seven days a week ensure seamless stop-ins for last-minute match preparations, grip replacements, and seasonal apparel updates before hitting the court.
