Play It Again Sports Evanston

Play It Again Sports on Dempster Street serves as an essential hub for Evanston's tennis community. Located just west of Dodge Avenue, this specialty outfitter caters to players competing on the North Shore's public and club hard courts. The atmosphere is grounded in practical athletic know-how, where staff members help players select, trade, and maintain equipment. Rather than operating private courts on-site, the shop equips players for matches at nearby spots like Crown Park and Evanston Township High School. The inventory balances quality pre-owned frames with new tennis racquets, match-grade balls, grips, and court shoes. Players frequently drop in for fast turnaround stringing services, tension adjustments, and gear consultations before league play or weekend matches. With a buy-and-trade model, it keeps competitive tennis accessible for juniors, high school teams, and adult recreational players throughout the Evanston area.
