Box lacrosse programs running their own apparel shop earn $300 to $800 per season launch with a 50-player roster, depending on purchase rate and margin setting. There is no inventory to buy, no upfront cost, and no distribution coordination. Bear Grips Pro Shops handles production and shipping; you earn a profit on every sale and focus on running the program.
Box lacrosse programs have historically relied on one-time bulk orders through screen printers at the start of the season. The friction points are familiar: guessing on sizes, buying extras that do not sell, collecting payments from parents who forget, and distributing at practice where half the team is absent.
The Bear Grips Pro Shops model eliminates every step in that chain. The program sets up the store once, shares a link, and receives a profit payment for every item sold. Players and parents order and pay directly. Shirts ship to each buyer's home address in about a week. The coordinator never touches inventory.
The secondary benefit: the store stays open all season. A player who joins mid-season can still order. A parent who missed the initial window can still buy the hoodie. Programs that leave the store open through the full season typically earn 30 to 40% more than programs that run a single two-week window.
Setting up a basic box lacrosse apparel shop takes about 20 to 30 minutes:

A focused lineup with clear visual mockups converts better.

Here is how the revenue typically breaks down for a box lacrosse program store across different roster sizes:
| Roster Size | Purchase Rate | Avg Items/Buyer | Margin/Item | Revenue per Launch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 players | 40% | 1.5 | $13 | $234 |
| 60 players | 35% | 1.5 | $13 | $409 |
| 100 players | 30% | 1.5 | $13 | $585 |
| 200 players | 25% | 1.5 | $13 | $975 |
Running the store twice per year (start of season and tournament season) roughly doubles these figures. Programs that also add an end-of-year "Champions" or season-wrap design typically see a third launch that performs at 60 to 70% of the main launch volume.
