Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, and kids as young as 18 months are getting in on the action with parent/child soccer lessons. It’s a great sport to get into, regardless of age. Soccer improves cardiovascular health, builds strength and flexibility, and increases muscle tone while reducing fat. If you want to encourage someone in your life to play soccer – or if you’ve already got a passionate Pelé on your holiday shopping list – check out some of these gifts that are sure to please.
Best Choice for the Youngest Players
Pop Up Soccer Goal
A pop up portable soccer goal turns any yard into an impromptu soccer field. Even the littlest fans are able to set up these soccer goals; just twist them and they pop up instantly! While kicking a ball around is always a good time, having an actual goal to aim at will seriously improve a child’s skills. Accuracy, hand-eye coordination, and motor function get a workout as a young player coordinates what he or she sees with where the ball is heading. And you don’t need to chase errant kicks halfway across the neighborhood. Everyone wins!
Best Choice for Mid-level Players
Grasshopper Portable Soccer Goal
As soccer players get more serious about the sport, they need tougher gear to withstand several seasons of serious impact. The 4’ x 6’ Grasshopper Portable Soccer Goal delivers, with a lightweight but sturdy fiberglass frame and Rukket TOUGH netting. This soccer goal folds up in an instant, and comes with a sewn-on shoulder strap so it can be comfortably carried. Want to play on a rainy day? No problem! The goal comes with side pockets so it can be weighted down, and the quality materials won’t scratch hardwood floors. Indoors or outdoors, at home or on the go, your gift recipient is ready to practice.
Best Choice for Soccer Fiends
Barricade Multi-Sport Portable Barrier Net
As soccer players improve, the speeds that soccer ball reach get higher and higher – reaching 80 miles per hour or more. The last thing an innocent bystander wants is to get hit with one of these worm burners. But to reach that level of athleticism, soccer players have to practice – especially those hard kicks that will clear the ball or slip past a goalie. A barrier net lets soccer stars focus on developing those muscles instead of worrying about nearby houses, people, or cars. And if you’re buying this for someone who plays soccer in your yard, you can think of it as a gift for you, too!
