Gift for coach

Show up regularly for practice and games, support their philosophy, and be positive with the players. They will truly appreciate these "gifts".

I gotta go with Yankeelvr's advice. Your being there and helping out in a positive mode is your gift to them. Nothing else is need IMHO.
I like your attitude though. You obviously love the game and your willingness to go back and help out illustrates this. Nice job!


( Okkkkk,..but if you really think you must get them something,....Costco and I beleieve Walmart, makes a giant bucket of sunflower seeds, big enough that the lid of the bucket is made to be used as a seat to sit on! I think it runs for like $20. Kind of a fun idea, but again I really do think your helping out is all that is truely needed. )

SSMOM,

Sweeeeet gift idea!!

They ought to be getting YOU a gift.

Where I once coached I received gifts that are so expensive that I just couldn't believe it. They went out of their way getting me golf clubs, golf shoes etc. At my school now, I get nicely framed pictures. My room is full of those and that is a gift that keeps on giving each time I look at those pictures. I guess I'm saying that it doesn't matter as long as the gift if from the heart!

I agree with Beezer. As a varsity head coach for many years, if I can find loyal, hardworking guys who will work for me everyday simply for the love of the game, I OWE THEM! All I can give my assistants are some great jackets/tshirts/etc. and a nice gift certificate - their support, friendship and help in practice are worth so much more.

And I'm sure it's greatly appreciated!

Last year, we got our coach a nice rake, because he's always raking the field hours before games...When receiving it with a wide smile on his face he said, "I'm sleeping with this in my bed tonight!" of course someone yells out, "just watch out for the pointy end!"

Gift cards for a restaurant are always appreciated, on a coaches budget, and also it makes the wife happy!

How about a T-Shirt and a donation to a worthy cause?



Coaches Curing Kids' Cancer


By working with Coaches Curing Kids’ Cancer, you’re joining a movement that believes childhood cancer is a curable disease – and curable in our lifetime.

Coaches Curing Kids’ uses a simple concept: Children's sports teams donate the money raised for the coach's end-of-season gift to childhood cancer research. In return, the coach receives an original t-shirt, a certificate and the great feeling of helping kids kick cancer.

The money you donate to Coaches Curing Kids’ Cancer goes to cutting edge pediatric cancer research.

6y-mom, click on the link under the picture or here.

Best gifts I've ever received was a Personalized Louisville slugger with a message on it from the team. Also just a card, photo, or gift cards are nice. Oh I just remembered another great one... the guys hired the best artist in school to paint my jersey and then framed it; it looks like a real jersey in a frame but it is a painting (the artist was super-talented, every school has 'em).

For my assistants I take the wives or girl friends (and coaches) out to a steakhouse at end of season but I really like the idea that came out the gift to a charitable cause....

Thanks Infidel_08.
