High School 7-on-7 Offseason Apparel for Year-Round Programs

High school 7-on-7 offseason apparel covers the March-through-July window when varsity football programs run passing league play and elite tournaments. Programs use this period to develop players, evaluate roster, and build chemistry, and the apparel program funds the travel and registration costs. Bear Grips Pro Shops handles the full offseason wardrobe: wicking practice tees, spring league hoodies, summer tournament gear, coach polos.

School AD approval considerations

Before launching, get athletic department sign-off on:

• Use of school name, mascot, or logo on apparel
• Revenue accounting (does it flow through the booster club, athletic department, or coach's account)
• Approved retail price ranges if district has policies
• Permitted advertising or social channels for the store URL

Booster clubs typically handle the account and revenue flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the high school name and logo go on the apparel?

Only with athletic department approval. Many varsity programs do get approval; some use a generic offseason identity instead.

Can revenue flow through the booster club?

Yes. Set up the account in the booster club's name. Bi-weekly payouts go to the booster account.

How does this work with multiple coaches sharing access?

One main login with shared password is the typical setup. Multiple coaches can manage products and check sales.

Is there a way to integrate with a school athletic site?

Yes. The store URL can be linked from the school athletic page or program page.
