Gifts for Athletic Coordinators

Picking a gift for an athletic coordinator

An athletic coordinator keeps a school or league's sports program running: scheduling fields and gyms, matching coaches to teams, handling equipment orders, and fielding calls from parents at eleven at night. The work is mostly behind the scenes, so the people who do it rarely hear thanks from the bleachers. A gift that names the job tells them someone noticed. A tee with their title on the front is the easy choice, and a dark one works well for the athletic office or a long day at the field. A hoodie suits the cold mornings before the first game, when they're setting up cones and checking the scoreboard. A mug earns its place on the desk, where the coffee goes cold while the phone keeps ringing. You can put their name or the school's name on the second line to make it personal. If you're thanking a whole staff or a booster committee, the Team Shop lets you print one design with each person's name on their own shirt.
