9 of the Best Soccer Player Gifts on Your List


These bonuses will benefit any player's performance (and have more fun)
If you're looking for a present for your child's leisure activities, you're probably not going to find it on this list. These suggestions are for the more serious soccer player who wants to enhance performance, utilize the best equipment, and, of course, have some fun. I can personally attest to the quality of each of these items because I either purchased them after long personal study, received them as a gift, or had been admiring them for some time.

The majority of the items on this list have helped me become a better player, and I'm confident the soccer player in your life will value them as well.

Rebound wall that is portable

Finding a nice, sturdy wall to practice on would be towards the top of any list of the most difficult challenges for soccer players who wish to train. Depending on where you live, you may not have anything useable nearby, or the noise may enrage your neighbors. This Morri Sports wall has a unique feature in that when flipped, the angle of the wall sends the ball up in the air, making it ideal for improving ball control. While this rebound wall costs $245 ($255 market price), similar goods may be found for considerably less—look for jagged leg supports that adhere to the grass for better friction.

Socks with a grip

There are two categories of soccer players: those who enjoy wearing grip socks and those who have yet to try them. You'll wonder how you ever played without them after you've used them. They provide more stability when wearing your cleats or shoes, allowing you to transfer your weight, halt, or accelerate much more effectively, especially if you struggle to locate the correct fitting cleats (a very common problem among players). The wonderful thing about this item is how inexpensive it is: most brands will function well, but I have found the Gain the Edge grip socks to be of excellent quality and value.

A high-quality soccer ball

Serious soccer players can tell the difference between a quality ball and a ball that costs $30. No one does it better than the top tier Select balls, from the grip on your foot and weight on the ball to how it glides in the air. As a result, regulated leagues and formal competition throughout the world have embraced the ball as the standard. The Select Brilliant Super is the industry standard for playing on actual grass, but the Select Numero 10 is built for turf or artificial grass but also works well on real grass.

Shin guards that are flexible

Wearing shin guards is one of those things you despise until someone kicks you in the shin so hard that you wonder why you didn't start playing basketball as a youngster. Most shin guards are so large and painful to wear that most players avoid them; fortunately, there are now shin guards that are as comfortable as wearing socks while yet providing enough protection. Flaxta is an excellent alternative for adaptability and breathability, although the G-Form brand is more cheap and includes the sleeve and shin protection combined.

Nordic hamstring band

A soccer player's hamstrings must be strong in order to maintain endurance, sprint speed, and avoid injury. When I started working out my hamstrings with a curl strap, I saw a significant improvement in my performance. I prefer the type that must be slid behind a door because it is less expensive than a standalone device and operates just as well. They cost between $20 and $40 on Amazon. (I personally use the NordStick.) Keep in mind that you will need something thick to lay under your knees, such as a yoga mat or towel, to avoid knee soreness.

Tennis net for soccer

Playing soccer tennis is undoubtedly the most enjoyable method to progress as a player. All you need is a net and a companion. However, if you don't live near a tennis court, there are items that allow you to play wherever you are. Badminton nets are ideal if you want more flexibility in your game since they allow you to modify the height of the net up and down. However, if you have limited space—say, a tiny backyard—the Futpong net is all you need.

Massage tool

After adequate diet and sleep, a massage gun might be a beneficial tool when you need to recuperate quickly for matches—with certain restrictions. Here's what we've previously stated about them:

There are numerous massage guns to select from if you believe the athlete in your life may benefit from one, but I found the Homemedics to be a wonderful value at $60.

Training ball with bungee elastic

While hip-attached elastic balls are the most often used for training, I've found them to be unpleasant and irritating. The Quickplay Replay Soccer Training Ball stays on the ground, allowing you to move freely across the field without being tethered to the ball. This allows you to perform a variety of drills without tripping over the string (and making a fool of yourself).

Tracking device for sports

There are performance trackers available for people who want to know every element of their performance and how they are performing on the field, including distance, sprints, heart rate, and field positions. There are several versions, such as the StatsSports, which is worn like a sports bra, and others, such as the Playmaker, which attach to the cleat. Both mostly capture the same vital information, so it comes down to personal taste, but either would be an excellent present.
