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 a nice way to say goodbye that 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, your coach’s name, your school, whatever you want. It also has a specific place on the sides to add the year.

The frame is a stylish, glossy wood, and it has an easel back that will allow your coach to put this on their desk or trophy shelf. Just 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 dates of the season 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.

Novelty Vibration Dampeners

You can find vibration dampeners with all sorts of goofy or novelty designs. If it’s your coach’s birthday and the whole team is bringing gifts, a funny racket dampener is a unique choice that will entertain everyone.

The Racket Expressions dampeners come in a dozen designs, from zombies to comic book sounds. You can even get an assorted five-pack so your coach can express themselves differently every day of the workweek. They add flair to any racket.

Of course, it isn’t just all about looks. These dampeners are made of quality PVC that absorbs a significant amount of racket vibration. They fit well and won’t fall out during play, so you’re getting your coach something funny but useful too. Racket Expressions provides a 30-day guarantee, so you know your coach will be satisfied.

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 get to watch them put it to good use during your very own 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 if you’re replacing 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.

Customizable Team Banner

A blank banner is highly customizable. It could be a surprise message the team pulls out at a match to say thank you at the end of a season, or it could be the team mascot with all the players’ signatures. The only limit is your imagination.

This banner is two-sided and reusable, so it works for any occasion. Your coach can use it to inspire and motivate the team at a match, or you can make a thank-you banner at the end-of-the-season party.

Probably the coolest thing about this, though, is that it’s rolled up and can fit right in your coach’s pocket. They’ll appreciate something so convenient to help them with their busy job.

Tennis Court Dry Erase Clipboard

A clipboard can be a smart 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 all organized, so they always have what they need during practice.

We love this clipboard in particular 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. It’s hard to find gifts that are practical 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 as well as 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. For a birthday or holiday, you could inscribe balls with your coach’s name or a holiday-themed message. 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. For a reasonable price, you can customize with whatever text you want. The balls are printed in the USA and backed by a 100% guarantee so that you can give the gift with confidence. Add your name, your coach’s name or a joke to create something unique.

Tennis Phone Case

A phone case is a simple gift that’s good for a birthday, holiday, or end-of-season party. Have you noticed your tennis coach likes to express themselves and their passion for the sport? They might have a tennis keychain or bumper sticker, but do they have a tennis-themed phone case? You can help them add it to their collection.

You know your coach is an athlete, so their phone’s always at risk of damage. This phone case from GackCase doesn’t just give your coach’s phone a personality; it protects it for a great price.

It features an innovative raised edge that protects the screen against flat surfaces. It’s constructed from tough PC+TPU that absorbs force and is anti-shock but is still flexible and lightweight. Before you buy it, check which phone your coach has – this is specifically for the iPhone X.

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 that 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 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 not so big you won’t be able to wrap it. Your coach will love it.
