Debate team apparel with no minimum order is the simple answer to the question every small squad asks. The 8-debater novice program does not need to find a way to buy 24 shirts. The 12-debater speech team does not need to oversize their order to hit the screen-printer threshold. At Bear Grips Pro Shops, the minimum is one shirt. Every debater orders their own item in their own size at the price the program sets.
Local screen printers usually require 12, 24, or 48-shirt minimums to make the setup cost work. For a debate squad of 10, that math forces three bad choices.
Pro Shops eliminates all three by making the per-shirt unit cost identical at 1 shirt and at 100 shirts.
The program sets up a free apparel store. The store displays the items the program approved, in the colors and sizes the program approved, at the prices the program set. Every debater shops the store independently, pays at checkout, and the shirt ships directly to the debater address. The program never touches inventory. The coach never collects sizes. The captain never chases a Google form.
This is the same model national merch brands use. A debate program of 8 debaters and a debate program of 200 debaters use the exact same logistics. The only thing that changes between them is total volume.

Programs already running an annual bulk screen-print order typically switch in three steps. First, sign up at Bear Grips Pro Shops free. Second, upload the same logo file the screen printer was using. Third, share the store link to the program email and group chat the same week the old order would have gone in. The first year debaters buy individually. The second year captains and parents are already used to the model. By year three the bulk order is gone and the program runs apparel year-round instead of in a single August panic-order.
No setup fee, no minimum, no inventory. Order one shirt or one hundred. Free program store, your debaters order direct.
Start FreeOne. The minimum order at Bear Grips Pro Shops is a single piece. A debate squad of 5 debaters can order 5 shirts. A program of 200 can order 200. Per-shirt cost is identical at every volume.
No. Setting up the store is free. The program never pays a setup fee, a design fee, or a monthly fee on the free plan. Optional VIP plans add lower base costs but the free plan never charges setup.
Most single-piece orders ship within 3 to 5 business days from US print facilities. Delivery arrives in about a week. Shipping is free to every customer.
Yes. The whole point of the no-minimum store is that every debater orders independently in the size, style, and color the store allows. A 30-debater program can have 30 different size and style combinations in a single ordering wave.
