Continuing modernization in sports has resulted in a backlog of perfectly good used equipment, as well as annoying mid-game cleat-software updates that require players to manually restart. Return to simpler sporting days with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $25 worth of new and gently used sporting-goods merchandise at Play It Again Sports in Chesterfield on Clarkson Road.

For more than 25 years, Play It Again Sports has bedecked kids and adults with high-end, wallet-friendly athletic armor and gear so that they can kick, swing, punt, and take flamboyant exception to referee calls with gusto. New inventory arrives every day, and the friendly staff can lead quality-seeking shoppers to the top brands lining the spacious storefront shelves, including Callaway, Taylor Made, Nike, Adidas, Easton, Horizon Fitness, and more. Prices vary by item, but you'll have enough credit to purchase a ton of different athletic accoutrements. Baseball fans can outfit themselves with a bat, a glove, a helmet, a pair of batting gloves, cleats, or a dozen baseballs. Divot devotees, meanwhile, can load up on 100 used golf balls or three golf discs. Otherwise, get started on a random collection of medicine balls, hockey sticks, and 25-pound weights so that you're prepared to play any sports that appear to you in dreams. For pricier items, such as gently used Stanley Cups and Victoria Beckhams, you can combine up to two Groupons.

Due to rapid growth patterns and rampant milk abuse, modern kids can grow out of their pads and kickers virtually at will. Today's Groupon to Play It Again Sports gives you an affordable way to keep your rising stars from hobbling after pop-ups in too-tight pants.
