Exhibit 10.22

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of March 1, 2004, between The Sports Authority, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company")
and the undersigned ("Indemnitee").

WHEREAS,
Indemnitee is an officer of the Company;

WHEREAS,
the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company provide certain indemnification rights to the officers of the Company, and its officers have been otherwise assured
indemnification, as provided by Delaware law;

WHEREAS,
in recognition of Indemnitee's need for substantial protection against personal liability in order to enhance Indemnitee's continued service to the Company in an effective
manner and Indemnitee's reliance on past assurances of indemnification, the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancing of expenses (whether partial or
complete) to Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law and as set forth in this Agreement, and, to the extent insurance is maintained, for the continued coverage of Indemnitee under the
Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance policies;

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and Indemnitee's continuing to serve as an officer of the Company, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

1.Agreement to Serve. Indemnitee hereby agrees to serve as an officer of the Company or its subsidiaries for so long as
Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed. Indemnitee may, however, resign from such position at any time and for any reason by delivering Indemnitee's resignation pursuant to the Amended and Restated
Bylaws of the Company. The Company's obligation to indemnify Indemnitee as set forth in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such termination of appointment,
resignation or dissolution.

2.Indemnity. The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee with respect to Indemnitee's Corporate
Status (as hereinafter defined) to the full extent authorized or permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), as such may be amended from time to time, and
Article VI of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as such may be further amended from time to time. In furtherance of the foregoing, and without limiting the generality thereof:



3.Contribution in the Event of Joint Liability. (a) Whether or not the indemnification provided in Section 2
hereof is available, in respect of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be jointly liable if joined in such
action, suit or proceeding), the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute
to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against Indemnitee. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any action, suit or
proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be jointly liable if joined in such action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release
of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.



4.Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that
Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee's Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee's behalf in connection therewith but shall not be entitled to any fees for time spent in connection with preparation for, travel to and from the Proceeding
location and court time.

5.Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall advance all reasonable
Expenses to be incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee's Corporate Status within ten days after the receipt by the Company of a
statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall
reasonably evidence the Expenses to be incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall
ultimately be determined by the Company that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 5 shall be
unsecured and interest free. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Company to advance Expenses pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to
the extent that the Company determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed, within 30 days of such
determination, by Indemnitee for all such amounts theretofore paid;provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal
proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Company that Indemnitee would not
be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advance of Expenses until a final judicial determination
is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed).

6.Procedures and Presumptions for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. It is the intent of this Agreement to
secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted under the law and public policy of the State of Delaware. Accordingly, the parties agree that the following
procedures and presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:



7.Remedies.



8.Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.



9.Exception to Right of Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall not be
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee, or any claim therein, unless (a) the bringing of such Proceeding or making of such claim
shall have been approved by the Board or (b) such Proceeding is being brought by Indemnitee to assert Indemnitee's rights under this Agreement.

10.Duration of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period
Indemnitee is serving as an officer of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding (or any proceeding commenced under Section 7 hereof) by reason of Indemnitee's
Corporate Status, whether or not Indemnitee is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. This Agreement
shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as an officer of the Company or any other enterprise at the Company's request.

11.Security. To the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board, the Company may at any time and from time to
time provide security to Indemnitee for the Company's obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral. Any such security, once provided to
Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior written consent of Indemnitee.

12.Enforcement.



13.Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:



14.Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, void, illegal or otherwise unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without
limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to


be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any
such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

15.Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification, termination or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless
executed in writing by the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar),
nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

16.Notice by Indemnitees. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons,
citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification covered hereunder. The failure to so notify the
Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise.

17.Period of Limitations. No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or on behalf of the
Company or any affiliate of the Company against Indemnitee, Indemnitee's spouse, heirs, assigns or personal or legal representatives after the expiration two years from the date or accrual of
such cause of action, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or cause of action of the Company or its affiliate shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by
the timely filing of a legal action within such two year period;provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to
any such cause of action, such shorter period shall govern unless a longer period is required by applicable law.

20.Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given if (i) delivered by and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, (ii) sent by nationally recognized overnight
courier or (iii) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed:



or
to such other address as may have been furnished to Indemnitees by the Company or to the Company by Indemnitee, as the case may be.

21.Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes
be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be
produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

22.Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to
constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

23.Governing Law. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with,
the laws of the State of Delaware, without application of the conflict of laws principles thereof.

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
