GSN’s Starting XI Holiday Gift Guide: The Best Soccer Gifts for Girls

Tis the season, Socceristas! Everybody is carbo-loaded from that Thanksgiving feast, and it’s time to prepare for the gift-giving season. But what do you get the Soccerista who has everything? Do you go with games this year with a fun cornhole-esque challenge or WoSo trading cards? Or keep it super soccer-practical with some choice cleats, bags, or a soccer ball? As always, we highlight more traditional soccer gifts for girls, too; this year with awesome jerseys and tees commemorating the big retirees of this year: Rapinoe, Ertz, and Krieger. And then, of course, some of our own merch added in there. We’ve got a few ideas for soccer gifts for girls, and hopefully, you’ll find something to delight the Soccerista in your life!

 

1. Parkside Cards

For the young NWSL and USWNT fans, you need to check out Parkside’s women’s soccer trading cards. With their newest pack from the 2023 NWSL season, your Soccerista could collect cards of all their favorite stars, and even find some epic signatures!

3. Salt Athletic Cleat Bag

We’ve mentioned this product before, but we cannot mention it enough. Look, your feet stink; that’s just part of the soccer lifestyle. But this bag from Salt Athletic will keep stinky feet from being nickname inspo on the team. Totally effective and discrete; you gotta get your hands on one. 

 

 

4. Keepher Goalie Gloves

If the name didn’t give it away Keepher are goalie gloves specifically designed for women, that goes for sizing and styles. They are extremely high-quality gloves that will assist and accentuate your next amazing save. 

 

5. IDA shoes

Speaking of style, if you’re looking to upgrade your boot game check out IDA. IDA footwear is all about supporting girls and women soccer players–and their feet. They offer indoor and outdoor shoes and are currently sending out free pre-wrap with every order!

Think cornhole but with your feet! This game is fun for the whole family and will help you figure out that chip you’ve been missing. Set it up after all the presents are open, or start a pick-up game with some of your teammates over winter break. Check it out here.

8. The Do’s and Don’ts of College Soccer – An E-Book by Sam Cary

This e-book is the perfect gift for any soccer player considering pursuing soccer in college. Plus it was written by Big Ten Champion Sam Cary, who knows a thing or two about college soccer. The book covers just about every aspect of the college experience, from choosing your school to preseason and post-season, academics, mental health, injuries, and even a section that gives parents a way to understand what their exceptions can and should be. Shop the e-book here.

 

9. A Krieger Tee

Adding to the list of huge star retirements, get your hands on one (or all) of these special edition farewell T-shirts commemorating Ali Krieger’s banger of a final season. Rep the Ali Krieger fan club with a really quality shirt, or show your Gotham pride and appreciation with the “thank you Kriegs” scarf. Shop Gotham FC.  

 

10. Athletic Bath Salts

There’s nothing like a nice long soak after a weekend tournament, especially with Epic Blend bath salts. They have a formula designed with athletes in mind. Not only will it help ease those tired hamstrings and aching ankles the peppermint and eucalyptus scent combo will soothe your soul.

 

11. A USWNT Retiree Jersey

This was a big year for some of the greats hanging up their boots, so why not commemorate that with a jersey? Whether it’s a national or NWSL kit, Ertz and Rapinoe jerseys are going to be one of the hottest items this season. Shop the U.S. Soccer store here. 

 

Whether you are the Soccerista or you’re shopping for one, we hope this list of soccer gifts for girls gives you a good idea of where to start on those Black Friday and Cyber Monday journies. May all of your holidays be merry and bright!
