30 UNIQUE IDEAS FOR SPORT-LOVER & COACHES GIFTS


By Ali + Julie on 19 Feb 2024



How do you pick the perfect gift for the sports enthusiast in your life? Kids’
sports coach, a farewell gift for a gym junkie colleague… whoever it is, we’ve
rounded up the 30 best gift ideas for the sport-lovers in your life.



GIFT IDEAS FOR THE COACH

Coach gifts can be tricky because no coach will say that they want a present;
but if they did a great job with your child, no doubt you would want to say
thank you somehow.

But how much do you want to spend on the coach? And what gift could you get that
you know they would love? What about the manager?

We find that most people like to spend around $20. Well, $20 might buy a nice
card and a box of chocolates…but how much better would it be if the whole team
joined together and each put their $20 together! With an average of 15 kids on a
soccer team, $20 each would mean a present to the value of $300. Nice!

You can organise it easily online with GroupTogether, and even split the money
collected to give a gift to both the coach and manager. Just share a link in
your team chat and let everyone chip in and sign the card online. Easy peasy.

So what are the best coach gift ideas?

Let’s start with what they DON’T want. Here are a few gifts to avoid as told to
us by coaches.

 * Best Coach mug – “I have 23 mugs at home that say I’m the best coach – I can
   only drink from one at a time!”
 * Photo frame with a picture of the child
 * Best coach underwear – “One year I got a pair of briefs which had ‘Best Coach
   Ever’ written all over them. It must have taken them a while to find
   something like that, but really, it was just awkward!!”

Lots of coaches we spoke to were really happy to avoid the novelty “coach” gifts
and instead receive one great gift from the team such as an eGift Card so they
could choose what they wanted or needed.

With this in mind, here are some gift ideas for the coach.


#1 TICKETS TO A SPORTING EVENT

VIP or Grand Final If your coach is a true sports fan (and didn’t just draw the
short straw on the first week) then they’ll LOVE tickets to their favorite game.
Try for a VIP experience or tickets to the grand finale to really show your
appreciation. Just make sure the coach doesn’t already have tickets first!





#2 GOOD QUALITY SPORT JACKET

The kids may love those muddy training sessions and games, but chances are your
coaches do not! A fantastic group gift is some quality wet (and cold) weather
gear or a sports jacket - it’s almost guaranteed to bring them back next season.
We love Kathmandu, The North Face, and the more premium jackets from Nike and
Adidas. If it’s a winter sport, maybe grab a matching beanie and gloves!





#3 A TOUR FOR EXPLORERS

Gifting them an explorer tour in parts of America is bound to create amazing
memories. It's not just a gift—it's an opportunity for them to push their
limits, connect with nature, and embrace the spirit of adventure. Whether it
entails a journey through iconic destinations like the Grand Canyon, New York
City, Niagara Falls, or Yosemite, there's a choice suited for every kind of
enthusiast.




#4 GROUPTOGETHER ANYCARD

Give your coach the gift of choice with the GroupTogether AnyCard. They receive
a beautiful digital gift unwrapping, and can then choose to swap their AnyCard
from 70+ leading retailers including

Let everyone chip in online with GroupTogether, Australia's leading group gift
platform. You can even give a beautiful group card with your gift!





#5 MASSAGE OR FLOAT TANK

Perfect for erasing the stress that comes at the end of a long season. A massage
or float tank experience is a therapeutic way to say thank you for all the hard
work.





#6 FAVOURITE TEAM JERSEY

You can never go wrong with giving your manager or coach an official jersey from
their favorite team. Whatever the code, everyone loves getting the real deal.





#7 A NIGHT OUT

A dinner voucher for a meal at a nice restaurant is a really nice way to say
thank you to your hard-working coach…and to let them spoil their long-suffering
spouse!





#8 GREAT SCOTCH

A long-standing favourite coach gift, you can’t go past a great bottle of
scotch. This gift is great for the manager too! By the whole team chipping in a
little, you can give them something really nice that they wouldn’t normally get
for themselves.





#9 CLASSPASS OR PROFESSIONAL LESSONS

Give your coach the choice of local fitness and wellness classes with a
ClassPass Gift Card. Maybe they’ve always wanted to try hot yoga - now they can
simply book a class online! Otherwise, if you know their favorite hobby then
give them some professional lessons (e.g. professional golf lessons).





#10 CARD FROM THE TEAM

Never underestimate words of thanks from the kids and parents! Even more
powerful is seeing the whole team’s messages and photos together in one card
(and much less waste!). Show your appreciation with a free group card from
GroupTogether. So thoughtful!





GIFT IDEAS FOR SPORT-LOVERS

We all have a sports lover in our life. They can tell you who won the grand
final in 1997, take backyard cricket a bit too seriously, and are your biggest
supporter whenever it’s time for a health kick. Here are some gift ideas for the
sports enthusiasts in your life.



#1 BUCKET LIST EQUIPMENT

We all know how expensive good quality sports and exercise equipment can be -
whether it’s a road bike, surfboard, or a new golf club. But for someone who
might be using it a few times per week, having the best gear makes a huge
difference. That’s why bucket list sports equipment makes the perfect group
gift. Everyone chips in a little, but it adds up quickly, and the lucky
recipient can put it towards their dream gift (maybe don’t buy it for them
unless you know the EXACT specs).





#2 SPORTS/SMART WATCH

A good sports watch is a no-brainer for anyone passionate about health and
fitness. They usually start at a few hundred dollars, so it’s the perfect gift
for everyone to chip in a little. You’ll need to find out what brand they want
(Garmin, Samsung, Apple, etc.). If you’re not sure - give an eGift Card to Best
Buy instead.





#3 ADVENTURE EXPERIENCE

From hot air ballooning to skydiving! If your friend enjoys a bit of adrenaline,
consider a once-in-a-lifetime adventure experience. You can pick something for
them if you know they’ve always wanted to go rally driving or give them an eGift
Card to 'Global Experiences Card' which has hundreds of truly amazing
experiences.





#4 PT SESSIONS (OR BROGA!)

Spoil your friend with something they’ve always talked about wanting to try.
Maybe that’s PT sessions at the local gym or “Broga” (Yoga for Men) classes.




#5 WORKOUT GEAR & SHOES

A sports lover can never have enough workout gear! Chances are they’re also
wearing it to drop the kids off, shop for groceries, and…well…pretty much
anywhere they can! If you’re not sure about their favorite styles, an eGift Card
to Lulu Lemon or Dick's Sporting Goods is always a winner.





#6 A PELOTON

Possibly THE bucket list exercise equipment of 2022 (if you haven’t heard of a
Peloton, just watch the latest Sex and the City). It’s home fitness at its most
luxe, with a huge library of workouts all centered around the iconic Peloton
spin bike. This might just be the ultimate group gift of the year.





#7 NUTRIBULLET

Healthy eating goes hand-in-hand with an active lifestyle, and the Nutribullet
is a game-changer! It’s brilliant for whipping up healthy smoothies, plus it’s
quick (and easy to clean) when you’ve got a jam-packed day.





#8 SPORT HEADPHONES

We love a great pair of over-ear headphones, but they’re just not practical when
doing exercise. You might want to gift your sport-lover a pair of sports
headphones that will stay put during a workout and are often sweat resistant
too. Some may even have fitness tracking features built-in.





#9 SUBSCRIPTIONS: STRAVA, KAYO SPORT, ETC.

Why not gift your friend an annual subscription to sites like Strava (health and
fitness tracking) or Hulu for sports streaming.





#10 TICKETS TO A GRAND FINAL GAME

There’s nothing more exciting than watching the Grand Final from seats in the
stadium. The atmosphere, the crowds, the excitement – it’s a gift they will
always remember and treasure.





GIFT IDEAS FOR SPORTY KIDS

There are lots of great gifts out there for sporty kids. But there comes a point
where they just don’t need ANOTHER soccer ball. GroupTogether with family and
friends to give one great bucket list gift instead. Here's a few ideas!



#1 SPORTS EQUIPMENT

Definitely clear it with the parents first - but equipment for their favourite
sports is an absolute winner. A cricket ball machine, basketball hoop, golf club
or backyard soccer net.





#2 GO-KARTING, TRAMPOLINE PARKS, MINI-GOLF, AND ICE-SKATING

There are tonnes of great activities for kids - we love the new trampoline parks
(so fun for kids!). But they’re often a little expensive - so why not
GroupTogether and gift a pass to their favorite place.





#3 TICKETS TO A GAME

Remember the first time you saw a sports game in a stadium? Incredible! Maybe
their favorite team is playing close to their birthday - tickets to watch it
live is a gift they’ll never forget.





#4 BIRTHDAY WISH FROM AN AUSSIE SPORTS STAR

If you’re looking for a unique gift then check out Cameo - personalized videos
from your favorite sports stars. They’ve got a great line-up including big names
from wrestlers, Basketball, Football, and even BMX.





#5 DANCE & GYMNASTICS MATS

Buying a gift for a budding gymnast? Kids tumbling mats are great for
gymnastics, dancing, yoga and much more.





#6 BIKE

A bike is the ultimate group gift for kids! Nuff said.





#7 KIDS SPORTS WATCH

A great way to help introduce an active lifestyle, sports watches can help track
activity and sleep while some also have built-in games and challenges. They have
a parent-controlled app for peace of mind.





#8 COACHING LESSONS

Great for a teen - if they’re keen on a particular sport they might appreciate
some coaching lessons with a pro.





#9 FAVOURITE TEAM JERSEY

You can easily pick up great fan gear for kids from Amazon, and there’s no doubt
it will be worn every day!





#10 TRAMPOLINE

A great gift for kids that will be loved for years to come, and with more safety
features than the trampolines we remember - they’re a great gift for kids of all
ages.




ORGANISING A COACH GIFT?

GroupTogether and give one great gift and card from the whole team. Just share a
link in your team chat and let everyone chip in online. Sooo easy!
