Academy Sports + Outdoors

Academy Sports + Outdoors on West Markham Street serves as a cornerstone equipment and apparel destination for Little Rock’s tennis community. Rather than hosting competitive courts on site, this expansive sporting hub supplies the rackets, balls, strings, and court footwear that fuel match play at nearby venues like Rebsamen Tennis Center and Burns Park. Players across Pulaski County rely on the store for reliable access to leading racket manufacturers, including Babolat, Wilson, and Head, alongside match-day essentials such as pressureless practice balls, performance grips, and moisture-wicking apparel. The retail floor provides a straightforward, accessible environment where players can test racket weights, evaluate court shoes designed for hardcourt traction, and source equipment across seasons. Staff members assist with sizing and product comparisons, ensuring players walk out prepared for club leagues, high school tournaments, and casual weekend hits. With extended operating hours seven days a week and convenient walk-in service, it anchors everyday tennis preparation in West Little Rock.
