First off, kudos to you for recognising your child's coach!

A sincere thank you goes a long way. Start by acknowledging the time and effort they've invested in your child and the team. Mention any positive changes you've noticed in your child's skills, confidence or attitude. If you've witnessed any above-and-beyond moments, like extra help after practice or words of encouragement, definitely bring those up!

For example, you could say something like:

“Hey Coach,

Just wanted to say thanks for everything you've done for Sam this year. He used to dread soccer practice, but now he can't stop talking about it. We really appreciate all the extra time you put in, especially helping him nail that goal kick he was struggling with. You're making a real difference.”

The best time is towards the end of the season, ideally a week or two before the final game or presentation. This gives everyone time to contribute and ensures the gift is ready to present at a meaningful moment.

Our team at GroupTogether have done the research for you to reveal what is a good gift for a coach. We’ve discovered coaches don’t want novelty gifts that get lost in a cupboard, so we’ve shortlisted 30 unique gift ideas for coaches. But, if you’re looking for the easiest gift that’s never the wrong choice, go for a gift card.

How much you spend on a coach thank you gift is totally up to you and those contributing. As a team, you can determine if you'll have a set amount ($10), a range ($10 - $20) or a totally voluntary contribution. As a guide, the average amount parents usually chip in for a group coach gift is $20. If you’d prefer not to spend money, you can send your coach a beautiful thank you card filled with personal messages and photos from your team.

The best option is usually one that gives your coach maximum choice: the AnyCard eGift Card is a great solution because the coach can choose from a wide range of popular retailers, restaurants and experiences – we’re talking 100+! 

Instead of guessing whether they’d prefer a sports store like Rebel, a Café multistore eGift Card or something completely different, the AnyCard lets them pick exactly what they want, making it a safe and flexible team gift.

There’s no fixed amount, but most team coach gifts work well when families contribute between $5 and $20 each. The total depends on the size of the team and what feels comfortable for everyone. The key is to keep contributions for a coach gift card optional and flexible, so families can give what they like. In most cases, even a modest contribution per player adds up to a meaningful personalised group gift.

Mention specific ways your coach has impacted you or the team. It could be their motivational pep talks, their patience during tough practices or how they believed in you when you didn't believe in yourself.

Share a fun memory or two (maybe with a photo!), and don't hesitate to tell them how their guidance has helped you grow both in your sport and as a person.
