Finding the perfect Christmas gift for a volleyball player, coach, or fan can be surprisingly difficult. Volleyball is a sport filled with unique equipment, specialist gear, and accessories that aren’t always obvious unless you play regularly. Whether you’re gifting for an indoor player, a beach volleyball enthusiast, or someone who simply loves watching the sport, this Christmas 2025 volleyball gift guide has everything you need.
From essential training tools to fun stocking fillers and premium presents, here are the best volleyball gift ideas for Christmas 2025.
Best Volleyball Equipment Gifts for Christmas 2025
High-Quality Match Volleyball
A top-level volleyball is always a fantastic Christmas gift. Brands like Mikasa and Molten offer official FIVB models used in international competitions. These balls are durable, perfectly balanced, and ideal for serious players. For beach volleyball fans, the Mikasa VLS300 or the new 2025 updated models are a great choice.
Portable Volleyball Net System
A portable net system makes it possible to play volleyball anywhere: parks, gardens, beaches, or driveways. Look for systems with quick-setup frames, adjustable height options, and durable materials that hold up to regular use.
Knee Pads and Arm Sleeves
Knee pads are essential for indoor players, especially liberos and defensive specialists who spend a lot of time diving and sliding across the floor. Arm sleeves can also be a thoughtful gift, helping reduce friction burns and providing extra support during long matches.
Volleyball Shoes
A fresh pair of volleyball shoes is always appreciated, especially as they wear out faster than most people realise. Brands like Mizuno, Asics, Adidas, and Nike offer models specifically designed for agility, cushioning, and traction on indoor courts. For beach volleyball players, consider lightweight cross-training shoes instead.
Volleyball Training Tools and Gadgets
Serve and Spike Trainer
Training aids that help players practise serving toss consistency, spiking technique, or timing are perfect gifts for motivated athletes wanting to improve over the Christmas break. These gadgets allow individual training, even without a training partner.
Blocking and Timing Bands
These simple elastic tools help players improve vertical jumping, blocking penetration, and overall upper-body kinetics. Middle blockers in particular find them extremely useful.
Rebound Net
A rebounder allows players to work on passing, setting, and digging solo. It’s ideal for both beginners and advanced players who want more repetition without needing a full team. Adjustable angle settings make it a versatile all-round training tool.
Agility Ladders and Mini Hurdles
Explosiveness and footwork are crucial for volleyball. A good agility ladder or hurdle set can be used indoors or outdoors and is a great addition to any player’s training setup.
Clothing and Apparel Gifts for Volleyball Players
Performance Jerseys and Training Tops
Moisture-wicking tops, breathable jerseys, and athletic vests are perfect training gifts. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and designed for intense training sessions.
Custom Volleyball Hoodies
Custom hoodies with team names, player numbers, or personal quotes make a thoughtful Christmas present. They’re warm, stylish, and perfect for wearing to training, tournaments, or school.
Compression Shorts or Tights
Compression gear is increasingly popular among volleyball athletes. It improves blood flow, reduces fatigue, and offers extra support—ideal for long competitions.
Beach Volleyball Apparel
For beach players, consider UV-protective tops, sand socks, or lightweight shorts that dry quickly and stay comfortable in hot weather.
Accessories and Stocking Fillers
Volleyball Grip Socks
Grip socks provide extra traction inside shoes, improving stability and reducing slipping during jumps. They’re a perfect functional stocking filler.
Sweatbands and Headbands
Affordable but incredibly useful, sweatbands keep vision clear during matches and training sessions.
Personalised Water Bottles
Hydration is crucial in volleyball, so a high-quality, insulated bottle is always appreciated—especially when personalised with a player’s name or number.
Ball Pump and Needle Kit
Every player needs one eventually. A portable mini-pump makes a great small gift or stocking filler, ensuring match balls are always at the perfect pressure.
Gifts for Volleyball Coaches
Magnetic Tactics Board
A classic coaching essential. Perfect for time-outs, training sessions, and match preparations.
Whistle With Lanyard
An upgraded whistle with a cushioned mouthpiece or a programmable electronic whistle makes a great practical gift.
Coach’s Clipboard or Notebook
Coaches love jotting down rotations, ideas, and player notes. A dedicated volleyball coaching notebook is always a safe choice.
Coaching Books
Strategy guides, training manuals, and sport psychology books can help coaches build better teams and improve tactical decision-making.
Gifts for Volleyball Fans
Haikyuu!! Merchandise
With the anime still incredibly popular, Haikyuu!! fan gifts are huge for Christmas 2025. Posters, hoodies, figurines, and character jerseys (like Hinata or Kageyama) are all trending items.
