Football Christmas Gifts for kids

2024 was the year Scotland and England made it to the Euros in Germany. It was a great football tournament but a shame England couldn’t win the final. If your children were cheering on from home, capitalise on that love for the ‘beautiful game’ with these gift ideas which are sure to score highly!

Quick Play Kickster Academy Football Goal – this is a really easy to use football goal which doesn’t have to be up in the garden all the time. What a relief, eh?! Many junior football teams use this goal because it’s so convenient: simple to put up and take down and it’s portable.

Replay training ball – these balls are great especially if you have a small outdoor space or an enthusiastic kicker who’s frequently popping next door to ask for their ball back! The ball is so versatile – it’s portable, multiple people can play and it’s great for foot-eye coordination.

Cricket Christmas Gifts for children

If you have a budding cricketer in your family then we have everything you need. If you didn’t know, cricket is my favourite sport and part of the reason I set up Little Big Sports so I do stock a great deal of cricket equipment and kit.

To start them off, this is a great Christmas gift: the GM Mana Cricket Set  . This set made by Gunn & Moore has everything a young cricketer would need, including and importantly, a soft ball!

For the cricketer who has everything, these Zing light up bails are perfect! You can use them as a bit of fun or after dark, brilliant for beach cricket in the summer.

  A great sporty Christmas gift with a difference is Flickit Cricket , a cricketing boardgame that’s
based around a T20 match. It really is fun for all the family!

Children's Christmas Golf Gifts

Golf is a ‘game for life’, as they say; start young and continue on throughout life.

Children need to start somewhere and First putters are brilliant for this. They’re designed for children which is much better than them trying to use your adult clubs! The PuttOUT Golf Putting Trainer works well with first putters and is actually a training aid for all ages.

The US Kids Golf Yard Club comes with three golf balls and a moulded grip to help with the all important correct hand position. Again, it’s designed with children in mind, it’s not just a miniature adult club. It comes with limited flight balls so children can play in the garden – no fear of smashed windows.

Christmas Gifts for Tennis Playing Kids

Tennis racquets can be really expensive but when children start the game, you can buy more budget-friendly kit. Little Big Sports has Wilson US Open racquets and Wilson Roger Federer racquets, racquets, both of which cost about £30.

Tennis is a great sport but not all of us have tennis courts in our back gardens! This Zsig tennis net net is perfect for smaller outdoor spaces and is fun for all generations. It’s sturdy, looks professional and can be packed up and carried around easily.

Unusual Sporty Christmas Gifts

We know that children move from one hobby to the next in the blink of an eye so why not surprise them with something unusual?

Skateboarding is having a resurgence despite being around for years. Skateboarding builds transferable skills such as balance and coordination which means your little one would take to surfing and snowboarding well too – it’s all the same action.

I heard that basketball is the fastest growing sport in the UK and with these over-the-door basketball hoops, your child can play inside. If you don’t want a basketball hoop outside, these are a great solution and really can keep your child entertained for ages. Shooting hoops is actually quite mindful so like sport in general, great for kids’ mental health.

Children are starting to realise that it's hard work and dedication that help athletes to get to the top of their game and the Shuffle Up range of games is ideal for helping children improve skills and fitness. The cards suggest exercises to encourage our young athletes to move, hone skills and boost fitness. Elite sportsmen and women were involved in the design which gives the cards real credibility.  The exercises can be performed without additional equipment so you’re all set.
