At National Sports, our vision is to create a unique retail experience that seamlessly meets the needs of the sports communities in which we serve. The National Sports story started when Norm Clements created his first company, National Gym Clothing Limited, in 1968. Although he started out selling sports equipment from the trunk of his car, his passion couldn’t be contained and the company expanded to include 21 retail stores in Southern Ontario. The company was acquired in January 2005 by the Forzani Group, and continues to grow, with a real focus on team sports. We believe team sports are unique because they create a sense of community for the players, their families and fans. Yet every community needs a centre – a place they can go for resources, counsel, expertise and support. That’s where we come in. We offer the broadest selection of the best brands for team sports, and hire only knowledgeable staff who are passionate about helping you raise your game.
