If you are looking for gifts for softball players in your life, you can barely go wrong with selecting a softball inspired theme as your choice.
One thing I have observed over the years is that softball players are fiercely loyal to their sport. Softball players tend to go ga-ga when they see any items made with their beloved yellow and red-stitched balls.
What’s irritating is that softball players are often compared to baseball players as if their sport is somehow inferior. Then compound that insult by having most merchandise default to the white and red balls of baseball, and I think you’ll understand why softball players love their yellow and red.
Below you will find a few ideas that I have discovered in my search of gifts for softball players. Please do not underestimate how excited your athlete will be to have a softball-themed gift personalized with their name on it too. I have a few options that fit that category here as well. Yes, please!
I hope this list serves as a jumping-off point for your next shopping adventure. “Let’s Play Ball!!”

Softball Accessories
I probably don’t need to tell you how popular Hydro Flasks are with teenagers. This Hydro Flask softball sticker is super cute. I am guessing your softball player would make room on her bottle for Hydro in her batting stance. I think even a Yeti bottle (our family’s personal favorite) would make room for this cutie.
Personalized Softball Water Bottle If your softball player is in the market for a new bottle, this is a fun personalized choice. Different fonts and softball player positions are available to choose from.
I always like to remind parents of the safety danger of “advertising” your daughter’s name on your car. This decal might be useful for her water bottle, her computer laptop cover, the back of her iPad, or some other decorative use. She will love showing off her favorite sport with pride.

Update gloves and bat
Some of the most useful gifts for softball players would be to upgrade her essential equipment. If your daughter is a serious player, she needs a seriously good bat and a quality glove. She may be in the market for a new bat bag as well.
The Softball Playbook Resource Page will give you my favorite picks for bats and other essential softball equipment.
Best of luck picking out gifts for softball players that she will love and treasure for a lifetime.
