Coaches, what do you like to receive from your players? Especially if you give private lessons? We really like my daughter’s hitting coach. I struggle every year on what to get him. Usually it’s a gift card or something.

Right Here For Now
I'll take a dozen new Dudley Thunderheats with the leather cover please. They last me approximately 2 years between hitting lessons and team practices;). Seriously though, personally, I feel it's privilege to coach these girls and just about anything they get me at ANY time is more than a pleasant surprise whether it's a $50 gift card or a small cup of coffee.

ETA: I know...not much help.

My favorite gift as a coach was a framed picture of the team and there was a border around the picture where all the players had written a note. It is 5 or 6 years old and still hanging in my office. Hitting and pitching coaches are a little different and I would think they would appreciate a gift certificate or something practical.

Yes. She already said she’s going to write him a letter expressing thanks on helping her grow as player the past few years.

Yep. I have one of those, too. By far, my favorite coach gift.

As a coach I have never expected any type of gift from the players. Sometimes they will surprise me, and it is always very much appreciated. At the team party at the end of our season this summer, they came to me as a group and handed me a photo book. Inside were pictures of all the players and coaches with hand written notes from each player thanking me for coaching and sharing their favorite memories from the summer. I have received a lot of great gifts over the years, but this one is easily my favorite. It was a memorable year for us for many reasons and this gift did a great job of capturing that.
