About Us

The Sturtevant's experience is all about knowledge and premium service. It starts when you log on or walk into one of our stores and continues long after your purchase has been made. In recent years, Sturtevant’s has been recognized as the best tennis retailer in the country by Tennis Industry Magazine and the National Gold Medal Ski and Snowboard shop by Ski Magazine. (We are pretty proud of that!) The knowledge you experience is a direct result of our staff’s commitment to our sports, whether it is waiting for that first chair on a powder day, countless hours on the court or early mornings behind the boat. From our owners to each employee, the passion of each of these sports runs deep.
