Gifts for Pickleball Players Who Live on the Court
For the player who books the courts at 7am and stays for the open play at night, generic merch won't cut it. Make them their own trading card.
Upload any photo — your kid, your pet, your whole team — pick a pro template, and we print and ship a real, holdable card in 2–3 days.
Most gifts for pickleball players are paddles, balls, or slogan tees they could grab themselves. None of them celebrate the specific player and their game.
Snapshot turns any court photo into a custom trading card, so your pickleball player becomes the featured athlete on a premium card in a magnetic display case.
Here's why it's the pickleball gift that stands out.
We've printed solo player cards and full-pod sets, so we know how to make a court photo look its best.
Free to design, instant preview. Ships in 2-3 days.
Three Steps to Their Player Card
No design skills required. A fun court photo does most of the work.
Grab a court shot
A mid-rally action photo, a victory pose, or a doubles-team shot. Bright, clear images print best.
Personalize online
Upload, choose a style, and add their name and a stat line. Preview before you order.
We print and ship
Made in the USA on 16pt stock, packed in a magnetic case, shipped in about 2-3 days.
A gift as social and fun as the game they love.

Ideal Moments for a Player Card
Pickleball's social, playful culture makes a personal card a natural fit.

The player who's all-in

Why Players Love Their Own Card
What we consistently see: pickleball's social scene means a player card gets passed around open play and shown off. Doubles partners and pods often order sets so everyone gets one, and the cards tend to become a running keepsake for the group rather than one more piece of merch.
