Children’s football gifts under £20.

Football is the most popular sport in  Britain, and of course we know kids love it. Shin pads are essential and  goalkeeping gloves help those future goalies make impressive saves. It goes without saying that we stock footballs and you can gift a football starter set of shin pads, goalie gloves and a football for under £30. What a winner!  

Christmas cricket gifts for children.

I love cricket! I wish there'd been kit like this cricket set  when my son was little, but as I couldn't find one I set up Little Big Sports! This kit is the right size and weight for your young cricketer and this is important in encouraging them to continue – if it’s too difficult, they’ll give up. 

For the more experienced cricketer I like the Hunts County Skills ball set ; the reflex ball hones training reaction times but, really, they are all beneficial! A great stocking filler for £9.99.

Children’s rugby gifts under £20

If your little one was inspired by the Red Roses historic win of the Women’s Rugby World Cup, a  rugby ball could be perfect for them! Pair it with a rugby kicking tee and it will still cost under £20.

Children with energy gifts!

Children with energy should be celebrated but they also need tiring out. Here are some ideas to keep them moving.:

These balls bounce non-stop! The Mega Bounce and Waboba Moon Ball are very bouncy balls and perfect for stockings. Children will be transfixed as they try to keep up with them (and, added bonus, they're also good for hand-eye coordination!)

If you've seen children playing in the park or the beach and heard something whizzing past your ears then it is probably one of these: Nerf Howlers are fun for all ages and can be played anywhere. They're durable and a great item to have in a bag to take out with you or to just for playing in the back garden. Teens and young children alike can have hours of fun with one of these.

Table Tennis Gifts for Children

Table tennis is a great sport for all ages, it’s really accessible to all but the table can be a hinderance. A table tennis table can be hard to store and you need a good flat surface somewhere to put it up but have you considered a retractable net ?  It is much smaller to store, of course, and can be used on all sorts of tables, indoor and outdoor. Table tennis bats and balls are £9.99 so along with this net you’re looking at just under £25. 

This is a great way to get all the family started with this fun game!   

There is something on this Christmas list for every sporty child but if you’re looking for something else, browse the website or give us a call.
