The Best Gifts for Volleyball Players

If your volleyball player is constantly fixing their ponytail between points, this is a must-have.

TIY hair ties are way stronger and stretchier than the regular ones that snap at the worst possible time.

You can cut and tie them to the exact number of loops you need, so they actually stay put through jumping, diving, and long tournament days.

They're soft on hair, built to last, and trusted by tons of high-level athletes. These are the ultimate stocking stuffer.

If you've ever spent a weekend at a volleyball tournament, you know half the experience is sitting on the floor of a convention center trying to stay warm between matches. That's where this plush volleyball blanket comes in.

It's soft, cozy, and perfectly sized for downtime. Whether camped out in a cafeteria, waiting for their court to open up, or trying to survive a cold morning pool play game, this blanket promises to be a staple of their game-day experience.

This is a great option for a player who's always looking for opportunities to practice outside of practice.

Without a bucket of balls or a whole team to help shag, it can be challenging to practice hitting/serving technique. The Volleyball Pal solves that.

It straps around the waist, keeps the ball attached with an elastic cord, and lets players get tons of reps on their own.

It's perfect for backyard practice, open hallways, or anytime they're determined to get better on their own.

If your volleyball player has ever been stuck reffing the match before or after their own, you already know why this is a great gift.

An electric whistle is louder, cleaner, and easier to use.

It works well in noisy convention centers and keeps things hygienic when their teammates are begging to borrow it.

Not the flashiest gift, but it's one they'll be glad to have in their bag.

Believe it or not, these socks (yes, socks) are one of the most popular volleyball accessories right now.

These Nike training crew socks are cushioned, breathable, and the perfect length for the volleyball look everyone's going for these days.

They stay snug during long tournament days and help keep feet dry and comfortable.

This might be the only time they're actually excited to unwrap plain white socks for the holidays.

If you've ever tried to film a volleyball game on your phone, you know it's challenging to follow the action. BallerCam fixes that.

It turns your iPhone into an AI-powered sports camera that automatically tracks the players and the ball, livestreams for family and friends, and even lets you clip highlights right after the game.

This is the same streaming technology you've relied on for years, now put directly into your hands.

We know several water bottle brands have had their moment (some are probably in your cabinet right now), but we believe this Owala bottle is here to stay.

The 24 oz bottle keeps drinks cold forever, has a built-in straw that players love, and is tough enough to survive the bottom of a volleyball backpack.

It's leak-proof, easy to carry, and fits in cup holders on the way to and from practices and games.

It might feel silly to buy another bottle, but trust us, Owala's mix of style, practicality, and quality will make it the everyday choice of your favorite athlete.

Okay, we'll admit it. This one's a little self-promotion.

But if the player in your life is serious about getting recruited, a Prep Dig+ subscription is the best gift you could give them.

From unlimited access to Prep Dig coverage and player rankings, to college coach profile views, college matches, and coach contact info, it's basically their all-access pass to the recruiting world.

We can't guarantee it'll land them a D1 offer, but it'll definitely support them along their recruiting journey.

Tired of tossing balls for the athlete in your life?

The Spike Pal lets them practice their arm swing, timing, and ball contact without needing a partner or someone to shag all the loose balls.

It clips onto almost anything, and the elastic cord gives the ball realistic movement.

It's simple, effective, and a great volleyball gift for players looking for extra reps.

If your volleyball player lives in a slick-back ponytail or bun, this duo is a lifesaver.

The Dae styling cream smooths flyaways, keeps hair in place through long tournament days, and doesn't get crunchy or stiff.

The edge brush helps clean up the front so everything looks polished, even after hours in crowded convention centers.

It's an easy, practical gift they'll use every week.

This one takes "volleyball gift" literallly.

If your player is serious about volleyball, the Molten Super Touch is the ball they want.

It's the official game ball for tons of high school and college programs, feels great right out of the box, and it holds air way better than the cheaper practice balls most players are used to.

Another great product for the athlete hungry for more reps without a partner.

The bungee net sends the ball right back, so they can work on passing, setting, or ball control without needing a partner.

It's lightweight, foldable, and easy to set up in the backyard, garage, or gym.

The official insoles of Prep Dig and USAV are the ultimate hidden weapon in volleyball.

VKTRY's are made from aerospace-grade carbon fiber (yes, really) to help players jump higher, move quicker, and avoid injuries.

They absorb impact on landings, return energy on takeoff, and add an extra layer of stability that every athlete can feel.

Once they try them, their game won't feel the same without them.

Most girl's volleyball shoes are just men's basketball shoes shrunk down and labeled “women's.” These aren't.

The Avoli VOL Mid is built specifically for female volleyball athletes. Designed around the shape of the female foot and for the demands of the female athlete.

The mid-cut design adds real ankle support for quick lateral movements, the cushioning is responsive without being heavy, and they have great traction. They're lightweight, breathable, and made for the way female athletes actually move.

If your player wants new shoes for the holidays, make sure it's a shoe made with them in mind.
