Gift #1: Colored Soccer Ball
This is a gift that would never go unused. Whether she is just playing football in the yard with friends or bringing it to training, a new soccer ball would be very practical. For a professional standard ball, the price ranges from about $20-80 USD, so this could fit the price range for many families.
The most popular brands for a soccer ball are Nike, Adidas, Under Armor, and Wilson. Although these are the most popular, many other options exist. In addition, all the different designs and colors available will make it easy to find something that will suit a teen girl.
Some even come with a carry bag. As a soccer lover, receiving a professional-level World Cup soccer ball is one of the best gifts I’ve ever received.
- It will be used as the most important piece of equipment for soccer
- Improves technique and control of the user
- Good selection of balls, ranging from $17 - $150
- Most balls are shipped inflated, so package is bulky
- Cheaper balls sometimes have issues with shape retention if they are not waterproof.
- If the ball is ship deflated, you'll need to buy a pump too

Gift #2: Headband
This gift is very helpful for girls who play soccer. As soccer girls, whether that be at training, in a game, or just in the yard, it can definitely be annoying when her hair is always going in her face. What can solve this? A personalized headband! There are endless different styles and designs for these, so it will be easy to pick one that fits her personality.
In addition to a cloth headband, a pre-wrap can also be helpful. Pre wrap is more commonly used to put under athletic tape so it doesn’t stick to skin, but it is becoming more popular with soccer girls to use it as a headband too!
Since it is made from a thin, flexible foam, it is comfortable and stays in place. There are so many different colors which makes it fun too. Pre-wrap is cheap and easy to find, so combining all of these makes it a great gift.

- Easily adjustable

Soccer Gifts For Girls #3: Soccer Rebound Net
This would be a fun and helpful gift for the girl you are buying for! There is a large metal rectangle with netting stretched on top of it, and it stands on the ground. The ball bounces off the tight net when it’s kicked, and this helps her work on passes and shots as well as ball control.
What is most appreciated about this gift is that the ball bounces right back so she will not have to chase it. This also helps build a faster reaction time. This gift is a little bit more expensive than the others, but it would definitely help her improve her performance.
- Help girls develop their passing and receiving skills
- Come with adjustable levels and difficulty
- Easy to assemble and carry
- It needs to be packed up after use and kept dry as it will rust over time
- Only one person can use it at a time

Gift #4: Soccer Jewelry
Even though jewelry cannot be worn during soccer games, it is good to have for a normal day! This is a fantastic gift for girls who love to wear soccer jewelery, and there are so many types, such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc. The necklace or bracelet could have a soccer ball charm, and earrings could match her team colors.
There are endless options for soccer jewelry, and I’m sure that no matter what is chosen, she would love to receive one of these gifts to show her love of soccer even off the field.
- Looks beautiful and is appreciated by others
- Crafted in 925 sterling silver

Gift #5: Soccer Kick Trainer
There are so many varieties of soccer kick trainers and many brands and websites you can find them on. A soccer kick trainer can be very helpful for a soccer player. A strap connects to the player’s waist with a long elastic string attached. (Note: soccer balls are not included and must be purchased separately)
At the other end of the string is a net bag or glove to securely hold a soccer ball. This can be helpful when working on juggling and kicking because she does not need to worry about chasing the ball after it leaves her foot. Soccer kick trainers can be found at many more stores, both online and in person.
Buying one of these would be extremely beneficial in helping soccer lovers increase their seoccer skills.
- Allows practicing in the garden or around the house (if room permits)

- Only one person can use it at a time
- Unable to kick the ball super hard
- The kicker and stitching will deteriorate with long-term use.
Soccer Gifts For Girls #6: Sports Water Bottle
Being a soccer player myself, I know that having a good water bottle is very useful. She can bring a water jug to the soccer field and can also use it while training. She may have a normal-sized water bottle at home, but a larger one can be very helpful when it comes to playing soccer.
Buying an insulated bottle can help keep the water cold as well. The size I have, as well as all the others on my team, is a 64-ounce bottle (half-gallon).
Using the search term “soccer water jug” on Amazon, a range of great bottles show up that have both a good design and are useful. There are many different colors available for jugs, so you can find one that fits her personality.
- Vacuum insulated water bottle to keep the fluids cold
- 17 colors and five different sizes to choose from
- BPA-free, made of 18/8 stainless steel
- Ice only last 3-4 hours
- Can leak if lid not fully secured
- Needs cleaning after every use
Gift #7: Soccer Shirt / Jersey
Does she have a favorite professional soccer player? Someone who she is inspired by day after day? If she does, this would be a great gift for young girls. Options include normal cotton t-shirts, as well as match-style jerseys.
Even if it’s not an Olympic gold medalist, for girls who love soccer, supporting their favorite player by wearing their number is a fun way to show they are a fan.
- Solid colors are 100% cotton
- Classic fit, double-needle sleeve, and bottom hem
- Five colors to choose from
- Colors will fade after many washes
- Size may not fit perfectly when ordering online
- Not other styles than classic fit
Gift #8: Soccer Bag
This is an amazing gift for soccer girls because it is so helpful when going to training sessions and games. The bag can either be a soccer backpack style or a duffel bag shape, and many of them have a large main compartment for pulling together all the gear.
Bags made specifically for soccer players are helpful because they usually have additional pockets designed for equipment such as shin guards, cleats, water bottles, and a soccer ball compartment.
I love that it has a separate section for cleats away from the soccer uniform and clean clothes.
- It can be used for more than soccer practice
- Machine washable when dirty
- Has a separate section for dirty cleats
- Not 100% waterproof, only water resistant
- More suitable for a teen, not small kids
- It has zippers that are prone to break after many uses
Gift #9: Cooling Rag
Even though this gift may not be the first thing you think of, it is something she may be very thankful to have. All she has to do is put the cloth in some ice water, draping it over her neck or face to instantly cool herself down during hot games or training sessions.
She can use it by herself or share it with the team, and on a hot day, soccer lovers will be relieved that they have this.
- Has four cooling towels in each pack
- Easy to store, carry or pack to avoid overheating
- Chemical-free, durable, soft and skin-friendly
- Storage bags are could be improved to keep cold
