To help you pick out a gift worthy of the father figure in your life, we're showcasing the best Father's Day gifts from now until just before the holiday on Sunday, June 18 that he'll love. Yesterday, we recommended some seriously stellar mail-order steaks from Snake River Farms. Before that we recommended HexClad, which redefines non-stick cookware. Today, we're recommending some great sports gear and apparel from Academy Sports and Outdoors.

Academy Sports and Outdoors is home to the latest and greatest athletic apparel, sports gear, and even essentials for outside fun. It's a great destination to grab dad his Father's Day gift this year, and here are a few of our favorite standouts.

For the dad who's already gearing up for summer, there's no cooler way to dive into the ocean or a backyard pool than in a new pair of Chubbies Glade swim trunks. Not only are these trunks awesomely retro, but they're one of the most comfortable pieces of swim gear out there. Its polyester spandex stretch provides full freedom of movement, and a built-in mesh lining enhances comfort. It's even got pockets! Even better: you can get your dad a matching pair for younger siblings or even his grandkids to wear when they're hanging out.

If your dad likes to break a sweat, Academy Sports and Outdoors is a great place to get him some new athletic gear. A new Spalding 44-inch portable basketball hoop is great for both sprawling backyards and suburban cul-de-sacs, and a great way for quick games of B-Ball, or simply practicing his free throws alone. Despite its durability, it's built with portability in mind, so dad can even bring it with him to any party or get-together.

For the dad who loves being the "cool dad," outdoor accessories don't come any cooler than the Yeti Tundra 45 cooler. It keeps beer, soda, water, or whatever you put in it ice cold for up to an unfathomable three days, without sacrificing an ounce of portability. It's why it ranks as our pick for the overall best cooler on the market right now. Yeti Tundra 45 is a great Father's Day gift for last-minute trips to the beach, camping excursions, or even casual poolside parties.

These are just a few great offerings available at Academy Sports and Outdoors. Check out the retailer yourself, we're willing to bet there's something there that has the makings of a memorable gift your dad will rave about all year round.
