7-on-7 football long sleeves are the sleeper pickup for hot-weather tournament programs. Sport-Tek Wicking Long Sleeve ($29.88 VIP base) gives players sun protection on exposed summer fields, a warmer layer for cool spring mornings, and a sharper look in tournament photos than short sleeves. Same wicking polyester as the game tee, same custom logo and number printing.

Why long sleeves matter for 7-on-7

7-on-7 tournaments often run mid-day in direct sun. Players who skip sunscreen and play in short sleeves come off the field with arm burns by game three. A wicking long sleeve provides practical sun coverage equivalent to UPF 30+ while staying cool enough to play in.

For spring tournaments, long sleeves also cover the cold-morning starts. Players warm up in the long sleeve, peel it off if they want short sleeves under for game time.
