* Company Eyeing Additional Opportunities

DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
Sport Supply Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: RBI) today announced it has acquired
substantially all of the assets of Webster`s Team Sports (A.K.A. Webster`s
Sports Center) of Pompano Beach, Florida. Webster`s, founded in 1946, is south
Florida`s leading team sports distributor to the school, college and youth
league markets. Sport Supply Group did not assume any liabilities in the
transaction. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Adam Blumenfeld, Chairman and CEO, stated: "Sport Supply intends to dominate
team sports distribution in the state of Florida, and this acquisition is a key
ingredient towards satisfying that goal. Webster`s has been a fixture in the
team sports community for over 60 years, and we are thrilled to have industry
leaders Bob and Bill Webster and their staff of professional salesmen and
saleswomen join our Company. The combination of Webster`s efforts with our
existing direct sales presence in Florida gives Sport Supply Group state-wide
coverage and over time should allow us to significantly leverage our overhead in
the state. We look forward to many productive years of collaboration and
partnership with Webster`s. Sport Supply has competed against Webster`s for
nearly 25 years. It will be a pleasure to work alongside their talented sales
force and use our combined equipment and branded team uniform one stop shop to
service the Florida market."

Bob Webster of Webster's Team Sports said: "We are thrilled to now be part of
the Sport Supply Group family and excited to bring our customers the best in
product, service and selection. This is the start of a wonderful new chapter in
the long history of Webster's. We are committed to making it a win for our
employees and the hundreds of high schools, colleges and youth programs across
south Florida."

Mr. Blumenfeld continued: "Over the last 60 days we have seen an uptick in
activity relative to discussions around partnerships, exclusive joint ventures
and potential acquisitions. We are reviewing a number of opportunities and look
forward to further progress in this area. Sport Supply`s industry-leading
platform, bolstered by its strong balance sheet, is well positioned to take
advantage of transactions as we aim to further enhance our market share and
penetration into the $5 billion institutional marketplace."
