Custom Club Volleyball Team Shirts for Every Age Group
Quick Answer- Club volleyball team shirts work across practice, tournament warm-ups, and team identity.
- Most clubs run 8 to 14 players per team, well below a 24-piece bulk minimum.
- Bear Grips prints club tees on demand with names, numbers, and age group markings.
- One team's tee order goes out at the same per-unit price as a 100-piece event.
Club volleyball team shirts cover practice, warm-ups, and team identity. The traditional 24-piece minimum does not fit a roster of 11 players, and most clubs end up paying screen print setup fees for every age group because they cannot hit volume per team. Bear Grips prints club volleyball team shirts on demand with no minimum and no setup fees. Names and numbers add directly in the design tool. Eleven players. Eleven tees. Same per-unit pricing as a 100-piece event.
Tee Categories Most Club Teams Order
Each team inside a club typically runs three tee categories:
- Daily practice tee. Cotton or moisture-wicking, club logo on the chest, optional player name and number on the back. Worn at 3 to 5 practices per week.
- Warm-up tournament tee. Sport-Tek moisture-wicking tee worn during pool play warm-ups. Often a different color from the daily practice tee.
- Travel team tee. Cotton tee with a more design-forward club graphic. Worn at the hotel, on the bus, on travel days.
Some clubs also add a tournament-specific tee for AAU Nationals or USAV Nationals, ordered just for the qualifier weekend.

How Names and Numbers Work on Club Volleyball Tees
Player names and numbers add inside the Pro Shops design tool:
- Upload the club logo for the front chest placement.
- Set the back-side text field as a custom input that pulls the player's name at checkout.
- Set the back-side number field with a separate custom input.
- Lock the font and color so every player's tee looks consistent.
- Each parent orders for their player, inputs the name and number, and the tee prints with that customization.
No team mom has to collect 14 sizes and 14 numbers and 14 spellings. Each family handles their own order.
Club Volleyball Team Shirt Design Ideas
