Sports are a sort of universal language. Kick a soccer ball over to someone from Spain, and they’ll instantly know what you want to do (even if they call it “football” instead of soccer). Or, if you aren’t athletic, you can always find common ground with a complete stranger when they follow the same teams you do. So when I say that sports enthusiasts will love all the items I’ve featured below? I’m talking about spectators, players, and everyone in-between — including kids!
But if you need proof? A small sample of the stuff you’ll find below includes pickleball paddles and nets that you can set up right in your backyard, inflatable touchdown toss games, and even a waterproof blanket to keep your butt dry while you’re watching your kids play soccer on a wet field. That’s why I wouldn’t be surprised if you wind up adding more than a few of these to your cart — especially if you’re a sporty person.
A Lounge Chair That Inflates Using Wind
Want to sit in style during your kid’s next game? Swish this lounger through the air, and it’ll inflate so that you can literally lie down and relax while you’re outside. Once you’re done, it rolls up to a fraction of its size so that you can easily take it with you.
The Pickleball Set Made From Premium Materials
Not all pickleball sets are created equal — the paddles included in this one are made with a tough polymer core paired with a solid graphite exterior. They also have hand-stitched contour grips on the handles, making it easier to hold onto them when your palms are sweaty. The best part? Each set includes a travel bag to keep everything organized together.
A Fun Outdoor Game That The Whole Family Can Enjoy
Looking for ways to get the whole family having fun? Search no further than this dart lawn game. Players toss inflatable darts onto a roll-out board, trying to get them to land on the spots with the most points. Plus, the unicorn theme gives it a fun touch that kids can appreciate.
A Seat Cushion To Keep Your Butt Happy While You’re Biking
Taking a casual bike ride through the neighborhood is always a good way to unwind after a long day unless your bike seat is as hard as a rock. Enter: this cushioned alternative that’s filled with premium gel. Not only will it help keep your tush from growing sore, but at over one inch thick, it’ll also take significantly longer to compress flat (if that even happens at all).
This Putting Green You Can Put In Your Office
Blow off a little steam at work with this indoor putting mat. At eight feet long, you’ll actually get some practice in that you can apply to the real golf course — and it even has an automatic return system that sends the ball back to you so that you don’t have to go retrieve it from the hole.
An Outdoor Game That You Can Play Anywhere
If you’ve ever heard of Spikeball, then you’re definitely going to love Slammo — and not just because it costs way less than the on-brand version. Teams of two bounce the ball back and forth to each other until someone misses. If you miss, the other team gains a point. Simple, right? And unlike other games, you can easily play this one in your backyard, on the beach, or even on the ski slopes (though I wouldn’t necessarily recommend using it in the snow).
A Bag That Keeps All Your Stuff High And Dry
If you consider yourself an outdoorsy, sporty person, you’ll definitely want to check out this dry bag. It’ll keep all your valuables high and dry when you’re outside, making it perfect for camping. Or, you can use it as an outdoor gym bag — just in case it starts raining while you’re out on the soccer field.
This Ring Toss Game That’s Easy To Take With You
Whether you’re in the backyard with your family or at the beach with friends, this ring toss game is a great way to get everybody having fun. The pegs are made from real wood — not plastic — and all parts come packaged in a neat travel bag so that you can easily take the set with you anywhere.
These Non-Slip Socks For Your Next Pilates Class
Few things are as embarrassing as falling flat on your face during pilates class — trust me, I’ve done it. That’s why your instructor always recommends wearing non-slip socks, like these ones. The grippy dots on the bottom help keep you from losing your footing. Plus, they also work great during barre, martial arts, and other activities.
The Binoculars To Help You See Every Minute Of Gameplay
Who cares if your seats are in the nosebleeds? With these binoculars, you’ll still catch every minute of gameplay on the field. The neck strap helps keep them safe from being dropped — and each order includes a protective case to keep the lenses scratch-free when you aren’t using them.
A Pickleball Net That’s Surprisingly Versatile
With this net, you’ve got options. Adjust the height all the way down to play pickleball, or pull it back up when you’re in the mood for a round of badminton. It’s made from rust-resistant steel that, while durable, is also lightweight enough to take with you — and it collapses down to just three feet in length for easy carrying.
These Compression Sleeves That Help Prevent Soreness
Legs always throbbing after a few laps around the court? Try wearing these compression sleeves. They help stimulate increased blood flow to keep your muscles from growing sore — and these ones in particular even come in seven different fun colors.
The Bike Bar Ends You’ll Be Glad You Grabbed
While these bike handlebar end caps aren’t the most glamorous purchase, you’ll be glad you grabbed them when the ones currently on your bike inevitably fall off. They’re designed to fit most handlebars — and each order comes with enough plugs to cover two bikes.
The Foam Swords That Provide Hours Of Entertainment
When you’ve finally run out of sports to watch on television, just hand these foam swords to your kids and watch them whack each other instead. The soft “blades” won’t leave anyone crying — and frankly, you’ll probably find yourself wanting to grab one so that you can join them in the fight.
The Supportive Sleeves That Can Help Prevent Sore Knees
Knees always aching after a heavy workout? These sleeves can give them some extra support to help keep soreness to a minimum. They’re made from soft neoprene that allows your skin to breathe, keeping your knees from becoming uncomfortably sweaty — and the colors are even reversible.

Don’t take it from me — with thousands of positive reviews, it’s clear that people of all ages love playing with these hovering soccer balls. “I got this as a gift for a neighbor boy on his 6th Birthday,” explained one reviewer. “He and his almost 3-year-old brother loved it! The adults did, too, as we all kicked the soccer balls (discs really) around the house. They seemed to be the hit of the party!”
This Insulated Water Bottle Made From Stainless Steel
Cold water is a must-have when you’re trying to cool down on the field, making this insulated water bottle a great companion to keep with you. Not only is it leakproof, but the insulated stainless steel walls are also shatterproof and able to keep cold water chilled for up to 24 hours — what’s not to love?
These Gloves That Help Keep Your Hands Callus-Free
Lifting weights might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of “sports,” but that doesn’t make it any less rigorous of an activity — that’s why these gloves are essential.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re headed to lunch or soccer practice — you’ll still be able to comfortably wear these joggers.

Plus, the waistband is made from elastic so it automatically adjusts to fit your body.
These Hand Warmers That Are Perfect For Tailgating
Whether you’re tailgating or watching your kids play sports on a particularly frigid day, these hand warmers can at least keep your fingers from freezing off. Just give ’em a light shake, and they’ll start giving off heat to help you stay warm. Plus, they’re even TSA-approved.

There’s a reason gym classes all over the country use these balls. Not only do they have an ultra-tough rhino coating to help them last a long time, but they’re also tear-resistant. They’re perfect for all sorts of games, from basketball to dodgeball — and each order even includes a handy mesh bag.
The Sports Bra From A Trusted Brand
Buying sports bras can be hit or miss — unless you stick to the trusted brands. That’s why this bra from Nike is a safe pick.
