18 Sports Nursery Ideas for Your Tiny Team-Player

Note: While these nursery photos are gorgeous, please know that it’s NOT safe to place stuffed animals, pillows, bumpers, or any loose items inside your infant’s sleep space until Baby is a year old. —Dr. Harvey Karp

Your little slugger is coming soon, and a sports-themed nursery is such a cute way to deck out their space. Whether you are sticking with one sport or going for a full roster, any tiny athlete will appreciate growing up in a bedroom that is decked out in cute, sporty details. Here are some fun sports nursery ideas to help you knock it out of the park!

Why not? Adding an actual hoop (and maybe some themed flooring like these parents did) is pure fun. The basketball-themed minky throw blanket is also great.

Modern Sports Nursery

A blend of modern prints and textures in this little guy’s room make the sports nursery theme apparent but not overwhelming. The hanging base-, basket-, and footballs, framed closeup shots of the balls, and a mix of geometrics earn extra points for style.  

Team Pride Sports Nursery

If there is one specific team that means the most to your family, consider building a baby room in their colours and incorporating the associated logo. This New York Yankees room is a great example.  

Sports Nursery With Creative Details
