Christmas gift ideas for kids and babies

Children's and Baby Sizes: What the Junior Page Contains

The Christmas junior selection brings together items in children's and baby sizes from the whole operation. You’ll find volley, as well as other sports and sportswear: the sports filter allows you to keep only what the child practices. The age filter then separates junior sizes from baby sizes.

Children's Indoor Shoes: Size Before Style

Children's indoor shoes open the page. For a young volleyball player, a lightweight shoe that grips the court and holds the heel well is more important than the name of the model. Low indoor shoes from other indoor sports, many available here, are also suitable for starting with volley. Measure the foot in the afternoon, standing, and leave a little space in front of the big toe: enough for a few months of growth, not so much that the foot slips.

Junior Ball: Lighter than the Adults'

At the volley school, the adult ball is too heavy for a child's forearms: they play with lighter models, in size 5 or size 4. They make high passes accessible and build confidence in beginners. Before buying, ask the coach about the ball used in the child's category. The models to give are on the Christmas balls page.

Shirts, Sweatshirts, Tracksuits: Dressing a Young Licensee

Shirts, sweatshirts, and shorts make up the bulk of the page, followed by jackets and jogging pants. For a child who is growing quickly, going one size up on a sweatshirt or tracksuit lasts longer. For a match shirt, it’s better to have the right size: it should follow the movements without hanging loose. A warm or waterproof jacket is also helpful for weekend tournaments, where you'll wait a long time between matches.

Bodys and Smaller Sizes: A Sporting Baby Gift

The selection goes down to baby sizes, with bodys and sets in the colours of sports brands. A birth gift that pleases parents who play in a club, or an outfit for a first trip to watch matches in the stands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should you put under the tree for a child starting volley?

What they lack for sessions: knee pads in their size, a pair of indoor shoes, a bag to carry everything. A lighter ball also allows them to play in the garden or against a wall.

Where can you find an inexpensive sports gift for a child?

Start here, then check out the low budget selection filtered by junior age. Small accessories like socks, water bottles, or headbands also make appreciated gifts at a low price.

How can you know a child's size without asking them?

Check the label on a garment they often wear, and the size written on the tag or under the sole of their shoes. Children's sizes are often indicated by age or height: compare their height in centimeters to the chart, which is more reliable than their age.

At what age should a child start volley in a club?

Many clubs welcome children as young as primary school, with adapted formats: smaller court, lower net, lighter ball. Check with the nearest club, which will tell you the category and the necessary equipment.

Does a child need to wear knee pads for volley?

They are not mandatory, but they make the first dives less painful and reassure the child in defence. Choose a pair in junior size, lightweight, that stays in place when they bend their legs.
