Hey there cool aunt! What do you get that nephew or niece who loves soccer… besides a brand new shiny soccer ball? Don’t get me wrong, balls make great soccer gifts for kids and all, but there are way more options than that to be had. As you’ll see from the handpicked selection I’m just about to share with you.
And, because I’m all for making things easier for you, I’ve sorted them by age for your convenience. In this here guide you’ll find soccer related gift ideas for toddlers, little kids (4-9 year olds) and tween aged sports fans (10-11 year olds).
Soccer Gift Ideas for Toddlers (2-3)
Other Sporty Gift Ideas: Girls Basketball Gifts
1. PUMA Little Boys’ Boy Swift Perf Set: Because it’s always a good idea for the kiddos to wear breathable kit when they’re out kicking a ball around. And besides, this looks way too cute not to be on this list.
2. Fisher-Price Super Sounds Soccer Net: Goooaaaal! Even a two year wants to feel the buzz of getting a ball in the back of the net. Especially when each goal that hits this net is rewarded with a fun sound.
3. Melissa & Doug 8 Activity Cones: Just the thing to get sporty youngsters to practice their soccer drills. And if drill practice doesn’t quite go as planned, at least they’ll be able to keep themselves amused by stacking these colorful cones.
4. KixFriction Soccer Training Ball: Having a kick about with your little one is fun. Constantly stopping game play to chase down the road after the ball, not so fun. Whoever came up with the idea to add ‘fins’ to a soccer ball to slow down the roll is pretty smart. This is not just for little kids either, it’s the sort of soccer gift that would benefit anyone wanting to up their ball skills.

10. “Beanless” Inflatable Soccer Ball Chair: The ideal chair for the soccer mad kid to relax in after a ball game. Looks all nice and cozy, doesn’t it? Plus it’s ergonomically designed to provide support in all the right places.
