Cheer practice shorts give athletes the bottom-layer training apparel they need for tumbling, conditioning, and warm-weather stunt sessions. Compression and athletic-cut shorts let cheer athletes move freely without fabric interfering with movement. Bear Grips Pro Shops prints custom cheer shorts with no minimum.

Cheer Short Styles in the Bear Grips Catalog

Several short styles for cheer use cases:

Cheer Short Design Treatment

Cheer shorts have limited print area compared to tees. Design considerations:

Small hip or thigh placement. Gym logo or short gym name on the front hip or outer thigh.

Vertical down-the-leg. Vertical gym name running down the outer leg.

Single-color treatments. Stretch fabric does not always carry multi-color prints cleanly. Use single-color designs against the base short color.

Avoid waistband area. Most cheer shorts have an elastic waistband that creates printing issues. Print below the waistband, not on it.
