Custom boxing apparel for girls and female youth athletes is available through Bear Grips Pro Shops with no minimum order. Young female boxers benefit from gear that actually fits rather than oversized unisex cuts that interfere with movement. From fitted performance tanks to athletic shorts and hoodies in sizes and colors that work for female athletes, here is the best gear selection for girls youth boxing programs and how to size each item correctly.
Standard youth unisex sizing runs boxy and wide, which works fine for training shirts but creates real problems for young female athletes who are doing footwork drills and bag work. A shirt that is too wide bunches under the arms during uppercut drills. Shorts that are too long restrict hip movement during footwork patterns. These are not aesthetic complaints: they are functional issues that affect how well a kid can train.
Girls who are well-fitted in their training gear tend to feel more confident and less self-conscious in the gym, which matters for youth programs trying to retain female athletes long-term. A gym that makes the effort to offer a fitted option for its female students sends a clear signal that the program was designed with everyone in mind, not just as an afterthought.
The practical implication: build the girls' apparel line with at least one fitted tee option and one tank option alongside the standard youth unisex tee and shorts. It does not take a separate catalog, just an additional product or two in the Pro Shop.
The right product depends on age and whether the priority is training function or gym identity.
For active training (ages 8-14):
For everyday wear and team identity:
Color choice matters more for girls' boxing programs than for co-ed programs because female athletes tend to have stronger preferences about the colors they wear on a daily basis in a training environment. The most successful girls' program color choices:
Design patterns that work well for girls' boxing programs include the gym logo on the chest with "Women's Program" or "Girls' Elite" below it as a program identifier. This creates a sub-brand within the main gym identity that signals the girls' program is intentional and developed, not just a tacked-on division.
For gyms that run co-ed programs but want to offer a girls-specific colorway, the simplest move is to run the same design in a different color for the girls' cohort. Same logo, same design placement, different shirt color. This creates a visual team identity within the broader gym program.
Sizing for young female boxers requires matching both age and the style of fit the athlete prefers. Here is the practical breakdown:
When ordering for a class without individual measurements, collect sizes through a parent communication or set up the Pro Shop with multiple options and let parents choose. The store model at Bear Grips Pro Shops makes self-selection easy: each parent picks the right product and size for their kid, pays, and receives it directly. No size-collection logistics for the coach.
A girls' boxing program apparel line through Bear Grips Pro Shops does not require a separate shop or a large minimum purchase. The simplest approach is to add a girls'-specific product or two to the existing gym shop alongside the standard co-ed options.
A practical starting lineup for a girls' boxing program:
This five-product lineup covers every age and preference range without requiring separate management of a parallel store. Parents see all options in one place and choose what fits their daughter best.
Gyms that run dedicated female boxing programs (all-female classes, women's fight nights) often separate their store into a general gym section and a dedicated girls' program section. This works especially well for programs with more than 20 active female members. The Pro Shops platform allows category organization, so the separation does not require extra technical work.

Start FreeThe Bella+Canvas Women's Favorite Tee and Performance Workout Tank are the top picks for older teen female athletes who want a fitted, movement-friendly option. Youth unisex tees and shorts work well for girls ages 6-11 who are still in youth sizing.
Yes. The Bella+Canvas Performance Workout Tank and Next Level Ladies Racerback Tank are both available in adult XS and S, which fit most teen female athletes. These are the top picks for warm-weather training or gyms that run high-intensity youth classes.
Yes. Pink, purple, and rose colorways are available in several products including the Women's Favorite Tee and the youth tee line. Color availability varies by product. Most boxing gym programs that want a feminine colorway go with burgundy, mauve, or blush rather than bright pink for a more serious athletic look.
Ages 8-11 typically fit well in Youth S-M unisex sizing. Ages 11-13 are in a transition zone where Women's XS often fits better than Youth L in fitted styles. Ages 13-14 generally wear Women's XS to S. A quick size poll with parents before ordering eliminates most fit issues.
