Lacrosse Gifts by Recipient: What to Buy for Players, Coaches, Parents and Kids
If you know nothing about lacrosse and you're buying for someone who plays: get a sticker, a beanie, or a gift card. All three are impossible to get wrong. Stickers because every player covers their stick and their laptop in them, beanies because they're one size, and a gift card because they'll pick the design themselves and actually wear it.
That's the shortcut. The rest of this is sorted by who you're buying for, with a note on which picks need you to know a size and which don't. Free shipping kicks in at $75 if you're combining a couple of things.
What do you buy a lacrosse player?
Apparel with a design they'd choose themselves. Players own plenty of team-issued kit that all looks the same, so the gift that gets worn is the one with personality on it. If you know their size, a hoodie is the pick. If you don't, go for something one-size or flat.
- Funny lacrosse shirts, 50 designs and the widest range we have
- Hoodies, $59.95 to $66.95, XS to 3XL
- Stickers, the safest cheap gift in the shop
- Socks, one size and always used
Already know they want gear? Our full players' gift guide ranks the picks.
What do you buy a lacrosse coach?
Something they can wear on a touchline in weather, or something for the office wall. Coaches get given a lot of mugs. What they don't get is decent kit that isn't branded with the club logo they stare at all season, or something that marks the end of a season properly.
- Caps, one size, no sizing risk
- The curated gift collection
- Tapestries, for the clubhouse or the office
End-of-season coach gifts goes deeper, including the timing.
What do you buy a young lacrosse player?
Youth sizing runs YS to YXL, and kids care about the design more than adults do. A shirt with something on it they think is funny beats a technical piece they'll grow out of in a season. Youth hoodies are $49.95 to $54.95.
- Everything youth, 49 pieces
- Youth t-shirts
- Youth hoodies
- Youth joggers
What do you buy a lacrosse parent?
Parents spend more hours at the field than the players do, in worse weather, holding everyone else's water bottles. Something warm, or something for the room the kit lives in. This is also the group most likely to want the wall art rather than the apparel.
- Beanies, the sideline standard
- Posters
- Canvas art
A guide for lacrosse parents covers the rest of it.
What if you don't know their size?
Buy something that doesn't have one. Stickers, beanies, caps, socks, posters, tapestries and gift cards all sidestep the problem entirely, and none of them read as a cop-out. If you want apparel anyway, the size chart has real measurements rather than guesswork.
| Buying for | Safe pick | Need their size? |
|---|---|---|
| Player | Stickers or a funny tee | Only the tee |
| Coach | Cap | No |
| Youth player | Youth tee | Yes, YS to YXL |
| Parent | Beanie | No |
| No idea | Gift card | No |
