10 Best Tennis Coach Gifts

Our Top 10 Gift Ideas for Coaches

Here are our picks for the top ten tennis gift ideas for coaches.

Engraved Tennis Frame

You can personalize a photo frame to create a heartfelt gift for your coach. Put a photo of your team inside and write the team’s name, or use the space to give a sentimental thank-you.

As a farewell, you could frame a photograph of you with your coach. Think of inside jokes or specific memories you can reference on the frame. This gift is an excellent way to say goodbye so your coach can hang in their office for the rest of their career.

The great thing about this photo frame is its tennis theme. The top of the frame includes an engraving with the words, Thank You Coach, and features a tennis ball. Below the photo, you can personalize the team name, coach’s name, school, or whatever you want. It also has a specific place on the sides to add the year.

The frame is a stylish, glossy wood with an easel back that will allow your coach to put this on their desk or trophy shelf. Make sure you put a thoughtful photo in it before you wrap it.

Coach Bobblehead

Bobbleheads make for a funny gift that’ll bring a smile to your coach’s face. If your team is having a party for a holiday or other event, a bobblehead will get a laugh from everyone when your coach opens it.

As a bonus, you can personalize the bobblehead. Add your coach’s name or the season’s year so your coach can add it to their trophy case or desk.

Every coach needs at least one bobblehead on their desk. Make it happen for your coach with this funny trophy caricature from Decade Awards.

To personalize it for your team or coach, you can add a customized engraved plate on the stand of the bobblehead. That way, they can think of you every time they bobble it.

TennisCompanion Vibration Dampeners

You can find vibration dampeners with all sorts of goofy or novelty designs, but the TennisCompanion vibration dampener is understated and effective. It will help reduce vibration to enhance feel and improve sound, and its simple black design will match any racquet your coach uses to add a bit of custom flair.

These dampeners are unique because they feature a uniquely formulated soft rubber compound and specialized teeth to lock them in place so they won’t fall out. Plus, they’re designed to fit all racquet models, head sizes, and string patterns.

The TennisCompanion Vibration dampeners are the perfect addition to the kit for the coach who loves to geek out on gear.

Agility Cones Set

Court equipment is another great idea for a birthday or holiday gift. You can give it to your coach in the middle of the season and then watch them put it to good use during your practices.

You can also take the chance to replace any equipment the team has worn down over the season. At the end of the season, say thank you with a fresh set of cones or place markers.

Just keep in mind that your coach may already have some pieces of equipment. Check first so you don’t get them something they don’t need.

Agility cones are great for footwork drills and marking the court. This set from Profect Sports comes in a wide selection of colors, so you can get ones that your coach can use on their court, no matter the material.

The cones are durable but flexible, so they’re a great choice to replace your coach’s dated or worn equipment. They come with an organizer stack, mesh carrying bag, and even a book filled with ideas for agility drills. Profect Sports provides a 100% money-back guarantee, so you can be sure you’re getting a quality product.

Geau Sport Tennis Backpack

Geau Sport specializes in creating some of the most unique and thoughtful tennis bags on the market, and the Axiom backpack is one of their best-selling products.

Here are a few reasons I love the bag:

• Storage compartment for two racquets
• Clean design with minimal branding
• Excellent storage capacity
• Creative organizational features
• Generous ventilated shoe compartment
• Premium durable materials
• Practical upright free-standing design
• Useful hanging hook for fence

As a gift, it’s hard to go wrong with the Axiom backpack for your coach, which is the perfect bag for them to carry all their gear to court for practice and matches.

Tennis Court Dry Erase Clipboard

A clipboard can be a thoughtful gift that also has a practical use. Your coach probably has a lot of papers to deal with, like rosters, schedules, and practice plans. A clipboard can help them keep it organized so they always have what they need during practice.

We love this clipboard because it’s a dry-erase board, so your coach can use it to help communicate strategy to teammates or take quick notes for later reference. Finding practical gifts is hard, and this one hits the mark.

The clipboard is double-sided and features an easy wipe surface. On the front, it displays a full-sized court, and on the back, a zoomed-in half-court. It’s made of quality materials to last a few seasons.

Don’t forget the dry-erase markers that aren’t included.

Framed Tennis Patent Prints

If you’re looking for a truly unique gift for your coach, then a framed tennis patent print is a fantastic option.

These prints can be bought as a set or individually and can be a great gift that your coach can hang in their office or home to serve as a constant reminder of the game they love.

One tennis print features an old-school wooden tennis racquet, and the other a tennis ball. Both include an inscription of the original person who claimed the patent and the date the patent was filed.

They come in the same size, 14″ x 11″, and are ready to hang on the wall.

Personalized Tennis Balls

Your coach likely has plenty of tennis balls, but with personalization, you can give your coach a unique present they’ll never forget.

You could personalize tennis balls for any occasion. You could inscribe balls with your coach’s name or a themed message for a birthday or holiday. You could also write a thank-you note or upload your team mascot to create a piece of season memorabilia.

It’s hard to find a personalized gift for a better value. You can customize it with whatever text you want for a reasonable price. The balls are printed in the USA and backed by a 100% guarantee, so you can confidently give the gift. Add your name, coach’s name, or a joke to create something unique.

Hall of Fame Commemorative Brick

If your team is looking for a joint gift to give your coach, a commemorative brick at the International Tennis Hall of Fame might be one of the coolest they’ll ever receive.

Legends Walk at the Hall of Fame is a brick walkway with names of some of the most famous tennis players to pick up a racquet, including Billie Jean King and Arthur Ashe. However, if you look closely when visiting, you’ll notice many unfamiliar names of people who received a brick as a gift.

When gifting a brick at the Tennis Hall of Fame, you can choose a custom three-line engraving, each 18 characters, eventually making its way into the walkway as a permanent fixture that your coach will cherish for the rest of their life.

Giant Tennis Ball

We love this gift. Giant tennis balls are widely available and generally inexpensive. You can buy one as a team, and all the players can sign it. To make it even more special, write a thank-you note or inside joke on the ball and purchase a stand your coach can set it on.

It’s an excellent way to end the season and come together as a team. Your coach will appreciate the uniqueness of the gift, and they’ll be able to look back fondly on your team and its successful season throughout their career.

This simple ball is an excellent gift. It’s made of rubber with a felt covering designed for signing and display. It’s 9.5 inches in diameter, so there’s enough room for the whole team to sign it, but it’s not so big you won’t be able to wrap it. Your coach will love it.
