Best place to pretend you’re a soccer pro

Off the Wall has existed as an indoor-soccer league for 20 years now, but its retail shop, Extreme Soccer Store, is also one of the best places in town to buy legit soccer gear. Proof: On the day of the inaugural Sacramento Soccer Day in 2013, I went to pick up the U.S. Men's National Team jersey I'd special ordered, and the store clerk said, “You just missed it: Norwich City FC's goalie just came in here to get gloves, because he forgot his.” That's right, an English Premier League goalkeeper shopped here. And for the thrifty, an Extreme Soccer outlet located inside the Off the Wall Soccer arena (5 Wayne Court) offers clearance items. 2381 Fair Oaks Boulevard, Suite 3; (916) 973-1751 928 Pleasant Grove Boulevard, Suite 150 in Roseville; (916) 773-4625; www.offthewallextreme.com.
