About Us

 

Evolution Sports Excellence is a locally owned sports retail store located in Leduc, AB. Conveniently located right off the Queen Elizabeth Highway, just South of Edmonton.

Our store is 8200sqft which includes retail for many sports such as baseball, Softball, Slo pitch, Hockey, & Ringette. We carry major brands in each category. We also have a batting cage with a Hit Trax & Iron Mike pitching machine for a full diamond-sport simulation. This allows customers to brush up on hitting 12 months a year.

Our story:

It isn’t about just "selling gear."
It’s about giving kids the best chance to perform when the opportunity shows up—tryouts, playoffs, showcases, tournaments—and giving parents 
confidence they got it right.
We started with the same scene we saw over and over again:
A parent walks into a store wanting to do the right thing for their kid. Tryouts are coming. The season matters. They’re staring at a wall of bats, gloves, or sticks—dozens of options, zero clarity.
They get a half‑answer from someone reading the tag, make their best guess, and hope it works.
Too often, the bat’s too heavy. The certifications are wrong. The skates hurt. The glove never breaks in the way it should.
Too often, kids show up excited, only to spend the season feeling held back by the very equipment meant to help them.
That’s the kind of normal that we refused to accept.
We live in those moments, too.
We lace ’em up, tape our sticks, swing our bats, and hit the ice.
We demo every new bat drop. We argue about flex, fit, weight, curve, and break‑in—not because it’s our job, but because it’s our life.
We’ve felt the sting of a bad bounce, the pressure of a late‑game chance, and the grind of early mornings and long bus rides.
Because we’re players, not just sellers.
Whether it’s hockey, baseball, fastball, slo‑pitch, or ringette, we understand how gear feels in real moments—when it helps you, and when it gets in your way.
So we built a store that fits kids for this season, not next year.
We went deeper than just stocking the basics and calling it good.
We obsessed over gear. Every change year to year. How it swings, how it sounds, how it feels in real hands—not just on a spec sheet.
We built the largest selection we could offer, with premium brands parents already trust, plus exclusive models you won’t find anywhere else.
And most importantly, we built around a belief: elite sports require elite gear, but only when it’s fit right.
Not for “next year.” Not for marketing hype. For this season. For this opportunity.
From the moment you walk in, you’re not treated like a transaction.
You’re treated like a teammate.
We walk you through options, show you what fits your body, your style, and your timeline, and we help you cut through the noise so you can stop guessing.
If something doesn’t feel right, you can bring it back.
If you’re unsure, you don’t leave guessing. You leave knowing you’re ready for the season ahead.
This is why parents line up for elite drops.
Why associations switch to us without being asked.
Because getting it wrong costs more than money.
It costs confidence. Time. And sometimes, a season.
Parents come to us because they know we care what happens after the receipt prints.
They come because they want their kid to show up to the rink, diamond, or field with the right tool for the job at the right moment.
We’re not just a store.
We’re the team behind the team.
