Find the perfect gift to show how much you appreciate your coach. With games on the weekends and practices during the week, it’s a huge time commitment to be a sports coach. It doesn’t matter your budget its important to show your coach how much you appreciate them and thank them for their hard work at the end of a season. We’ve put together a list of our top gifts from coaches from free to personalized you will find something they will love.

 Free or Inexpensive Coach Gifts:

1. Quote Scrapbook – This one you need to plan ahead. Start at the beginning of the season and write down all the unique, wacky or funny things the kids and parents say throughout the season. Organize them creatively in a scrapbook.

Another great idea for a scrapbook is to create a Thank You book. There is nothing more special than a thank you note from a child. You can have each player write a personalized thank you, including the most important lessons they learned or funny memories. Organize them creatively in a scrapbook.

2. Team Video - Technology can be your best friend when creating a highlight video of the season. There are lots of apps and websites that can help you turn your iphone videos from throughout the season into a professional looking video or slideshow. This can also be great gift for players.

3. Photo Collage -  Start at the beginning of the season taking pictures at all the games. Print the pictures and organize them creatively on a posterboard or in a scrapbook.

Personalized Gifts

4. Personalized Coach Keychain-Nothing says you went out of your way to show someone you care like a personalized keychain. 

5. A Team Photo -When you are ordering team photos of your child, order one for the coach too. They shouldn’t have to pay for their own. If you don’t have professional photographs of the team taken, get the kids together and make one yourself.

6. Signed Ball - Have all the team members sign a ball for a coach’s keepsake. Get a small display case to put it in.

7. T-shirt - Have them sign a team T-shirt for a keepsake he can actually wear.
