The end of a Little League season brings with it lots of emotions. These baseball gifts for kids will help them celebrate the end of a season.
Kids put in a lot of hard work during a Little League season.
They start practicing at some point in the early spring, sometimes when there is still snow on the ground. And they play up until the end of May or even the beginning of June in some cases.
During that time, kids spend countless hours swinging at pitches in the batting cage, working on their fundamentals out in the field, and running the bases. They deserve a reward from their coaches and parents when it's all over.
Here are ten baseball gifts for kids celebrating a Little League season ending.
A lot of people will tell you that Little League teams don't deserve trophies if they don't win a title. But it wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to create a trophy for each child on a team that calls out a specific accomplishment they had during the course of their long season.
For example, you might want to put together trophies for the:
There are so many things Little League players can be celebrated for outside of just winning games. Consider doing it with trophies.
During a Little League season, teammates spend so many hours together that they sometimes get sick of one another! But believe it or not, there will come a time when these teammates drift apart and aren't in each other's lives anymore.
When this happens, it'll be nice for each player on a team to have a team photo to look back on. It'll help them to remember the teammates they used to have when they were involved in Little League.
Want to take the team photo idea to the next level? Take photos of the players on a Little League team from day one right up until the very last day of the season.
Then, use those photos to create baseball gifts for kids in the form of yearbooks. Players will love being able to flip through their yearbooks for years to come.
There are some Little League coaches and parents who take videos of games throughout the season. They capture highlights and use them to create DVDs for the kids at the end of the year.
Every player on a Little League team has at least a few things that they put on their highlight reel every season. Show those special moments off by splicing together highlights on a DVD and handing DVDs out to players.
Giving a Little League baseball player a baseball at the end of a long season would be a little bit like an accounting company giving an employee a calculator on the day they retired. Do they really need to take a baseball home with them after spending four or five months fielding grounders?
You can take regular baseballs over the top, though, by having all of the kids from a Little League team sign their teammate's baseballs. These baseballs will instantly turn into keepsakes that kids will put into their memory boxes forever.
Trading pins have turned into popular baseball gifts for kids finishing off Little League seasons. There are many different types of pins that you can choose from, including:
This is a great idea for any team that plans on sticking together for a few years. Kids can collect several pins over the course of their seasons.
The baseball hat that a Little League player has been wearing all season is probably in pretty rough shape. Why not give players a new hat to wear with their team name and/or logo on it?
They can wear this hat all through the offseason while they're getting ready for the following season. They can also wear it for practices during the next season if they play on the same team again.
Since the Little League season ends right when summer is starting, a jacket might not seem like a natural fit as far as baseball gifts for kids are concerned.
But as we mentioned earlier, the Little League season does start when it's still cold out in most parts of the country. This means a child will likely get a lot of use out of a jacket once baseball starts up again.
If you're looking for one of the most cost-effective baseball gifts for kids, how about assembling goodie bags for them? You can fill them with things like:
It's a good way to get baseball gifts for kids without breaking your budget.
When all else fails, a team party is one of the best gifts you can give to a bunch of kids who just finished up a Little League season. It'll provide them with time to blow off some steam following the conclusion of their year.
Pool parties are always an excellent idea anytime you have a group of kids looking to get together and have fun. Find out who on the team has a pool and arrange to hold a pool party at their house.
All these baseball gifts for kids would be great for those turning out the lights on another fun Little League season. But you could argue that baseball pins are the best gift of the bunch.
They're affordable, collectible, and fun for kids of all ages. You can also customize them in almost any way you want to help kids show pride for their Little League teams.
