Best Father’s Day Gifts For a Dad Who Loves Sports
1. New Golf Set or Sport Gear
2. Tickets to a Sporting Event
Many people like to gift experiences rather than material objects. If this is you, then score Dad some tickets for a sporting event. Grab yourself a ticket too and you can make a day of it together. He’ll love the gift and he’ll love that he’s going with his children even more.
3. Spikeball Set
Spikeball is becoming all the rage these days. It’s played with two teams of two people. While it’s like volleyball, one team serves to the other by bouncing the ball into the net. The other team returns the volley the same way. It’s quick and easy to set up and great for a day at the beach. You can get a Spikeball set for around $70 at any sports store.
