Father's Day Ideas for the Sports Enthusiast Dad

What Will Make His Father's Day Super Special?

Father's Day is a day for dad to be himself and relax. It's a day to celebrate dad's and what better way to show your love and appreciation for everything he's done for you than to get him a real home run of a gift--something that he'll really love, especially if he's a sports nut.

If you want to go all out, maybe combine Father's Day with a birthday, or just think your dad's been extra amazing this year, it might be a good idea to give him an adventure vacation that ties into his favorite sport. Does dad like NASCAR, Formula One or Indy Car racing? Then try one of the unforgettable experiences racingschools.com has to offer (www.racingschools.com). These programs come in ½ day, 1 or 2 day courses and are found worldwide, so there is bound to be one fairly close to your home. Starting at $150.00, dad can be like the next Ricky Bobby and ride along in the passenger seat of a NASCAR stockcar driven by a professional driver and experience what the pros do when they hit 170 mph on the track. If dad's even more adventurous, and you want to pay upwards of $400, he can get a classroom orientation and then get his own turn behind the wheel-living up to his daydreams of filling the seat of Jeff Gordon. Regardless of what package you pick, it's sure to be a day he will remember forever!

Maybe dad's not quite THAT adventurous, but is a bit of a weekend warrior. Maybe he'd like the chance to try a new sport-something like rock climbing or paintball perhaps? In Columbus, Ohio, there is Land Paintball on the southeast side of town heading toward Groveport. Likewise, there are many other paintball fields across the nation that are similar in what they offer and how the fields are set up. Good for a day trip, you can take dad paintballing for under $40 per person. That price includes field admission, a mask, a marker, an air tank, hopper, 500 paintballs and a barrel sleeve (www.landpaintball.com).
