Custom youth boxing apparel from Bear Grips Pro Shops starts at no minimum order. Gyms and parents can order exactly the quantity they need, whether that is two shirts for a new student or fifty pieces for a full youth program. Performance tees, athletic shorts, pullover hoodies, and crewneck sweatshirts are all available in youth sizing, printed in the US, and shipped in about a week. Here is what sells best for youth boxing programs and how to get your gym gear ordered.
Youth boxing programs use a consistent core set of apparel. The items that move best are the ones kids wear both in the gym and around the neighborhood, which doubles their visibility as walking advertising for the program.
Most youth boxing programs use the word "uniform" loosely. The actual distinction matters when gyms are buying: a training outfit is what kids wear every class, and competition apparel is what they wear at tournaments or showcases.
Training outfits are the everyday gym kit: a performance tee and athletic shorts in the gym color with the program logo. These need to be durable, washable, and comfortable enough for an hour of drilling. US-printed on quality blanks, they hold up through a full season of training without fading or cracking at the print.
Competition apparel for youth boxing tends to skew toward the hoodie and sweatpants combination for warm-ups and the performance tee for the corner between rounds. Very few youth programs require matching bottoms for actual bouts, but having a branded warm-up kit that the whole team wears to a tournament creates a strong team identity moment. A coordinated kit of hoodie, performance tee, and athletic shorts in matching colors is the standard setup for programs that compete.
If a youth boxing gym attends sanctioned amateur competitions, the specific apparel rules depend on the governing body. Bear Grips Pro Shops custom apparel covers the warm-up and corner gear, not the bout-specific singlet and shorts, which typically come from the sanctioning organization. Know the difference before designing your competition kit so families are not surprised at the weigh-in.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Youth sizing at Bear Grips Pro Shops covers the range that most boxing programs work with. The general guideline by age:
When a gym is ordering for an entire class without knowing every kid's size, the practical move is to set up a Bear Grips Pro Shop for the program, share the link with parents, and let each family order directly in the right size. That eliminates the coordinator burden of collecting sizes and chasing down payments.
For gyms buying in bulk for a class set, ordering two of every size in the middle range (S, M, L) plus a couple of XS and XL covers most class compositions without overstocking. The no-minimum policy means you can always reorder specific sizes rather than buying a buffer stock you may never use.
A coordinated youth boxing kit does not require a massive budget. The standard approach is to anchor on two or three items that define the gym identity: the performance tee in the gym's primary color, the athletic shorts in the secondary color or black, and the hoodie as the premium item.
Color coordination matters here more than with adult programs because kids see each other in the gym every session and notice when gear does not match. Pick two colors that work together and keep all items in that palette. Most boxing gyms use their brand primary (red, blue, or black are the most common) with white or black as the secondary.
Design placement works best on the chest for tees and on the front pouch for hoodies. A simple logo mark or gym name in a clean athletic font reads well from across the gym floor and photographs well at tournaments. Back printing adds cost but also adds impact for the warm-up kit. Gyms that compete regionally usually invest in back printing for the hoodie so the program name is visible in the arena.
If a gym is starting fresh, the most cost-effective launch is tee plus shorts in matching colors. Once those sell through the initial class, adding the hoodie as an upsell item at a higher price point is the standard playbook. A gym with 30 active youth students can realistically earn $300-$500 per quarter on a tee and shorts program alone before adding premium items.
Bear Grips Pro Shops gives boxing gym owners two ways to sell custom youth boxing apparel without managing inventory. The first is to set up a free shop, upload the gym logo, add the youth products in the gym colors, and share the link with families. Each family orders their own gear and it ships directly to them. The gym earns $10 or more per item on every sale.
The second option is for gyms that prefer to handle distribution themselves. The same shop works for bulk orders, where the coach or director orders all the gear at once, ships to the gym, and distributes to students. Either model works through the same platform with no inventory required and no minimum order size.
The done-for-you plan is worth considering for gyms that do not want to manage any of the setup. Under that plan, Bear Grips Pro Shops handles the product selection, mockup creation, shop layout, and pricing, and delivers a fully live shop each month. The gym sends a logo and the team picks the rest.

Youth sizing generally fits ages 5 through 14, depending on the product and the individual child. Youth XS fits most 5-7 year olds, Youth S-M fits 8-11, and Youth L-XL fits 12-14. Taller or heavier kids at the upper age range sometimes size into adult small or XS.
Yes. Youth performance tees and youth athletic shorts are available in coordinating colors so a full training kit can be built in the gym's color palette. Exact color availability varies by product, and specific color-match questions can be confirmed before ordering.
Training clothes are the everyday gym kit used for classes. Competition apparel is the warm-up gear worn at tournaments, typically a hoodie and performance tee combination. Bear Grips Pro Shops covers both categories. Sanctioned bout-specific singlets are usually sourced from the governing body separately.
