The Ultimate Gift Guide for Sports Stars

When it comes to older children, the best gifts are those that keep them active, engaged, and having fun outdoors. At ABC School Supplies, we’ve handpicked a selection of outdoor games and equipment perfect for ages 9 and up. Whether it’s for birthdays, Christmas, or simply to encourage more time away from screens, these gifts promise hours of laughter, movement, and healthy competition.

Here’s our Gift Guide for Sports Stars.

Active Play & Movement

Ultrafoam Scootaddles
A fun twist on scooters, these are fantastic for racing, balancing, and developing coordination. Great for group games in the garden or playground.

Gioco Body Bubble Ball
Imagine bumping, rolling, and bouncing—all safely inside a giant inflatable bubble! Perfect for outdoor play dates and guaranteed giggles.

Fast-Paced Games

Speedball Rotor Spin Tennis Set
A great way to practice tennis skills with a friend—without the need for a full court. The ball stays attached, so the action never stops.

Franklin Spyder Pong
A mix of ping pong and volleyball, this fast-action game is brilliant for kids (and adults!) who love competition.

Franklin Spyderball
Another high-energy favourite—like roundnet, but designed for easy play on grass, sand, or indoors. Perfect for parties and family days.

Giant & Target Games

Giant Indoor/Outdoor Ludo Dice Game
A family classic made larger-than-life! Roll the dice, move your counters, and race to the finish.

Grasshopper Games 4 in a Row
The traditional connect game—supersized! Great for team challenges and strategy play outdoors.

Franklin Inflatable Dart Ball
A safe, soft alternative to darts, using velcro balls instead of sharp tips. Inflate and play anywhere for instant fun.

Sports & Skill Games

Swingball All Surface Reflex Soccer Trainer
Kids can practice football skills solo—kicking, trapping, and passing—without constantly chasing after the ball.

Precision Pro Heading Station
A brilliant training aid for budding footballers, designed to help improve heading technique safely and effectively.

Longridge Putt ‘N’ Hazard Putting Mat
For kids who love golf (or want to give it a go), this putting mat brings the challenge of the green right into your home or garden.

Our Tip: Pair a high-energy game (like Spyderball) with a calmer activity (like Giant 4 in a Row) to create the perfect balance of excitement and strategy.
