High School Rowing Team Apparel

High school rowing team apparel covers boys, girls, and mixed crew programs at public schools, prep schools, and private clubs. Most high school programs run 30 to 80 rowers across novice and varsity, with parents handling the majority of apparel purchases. Bear Grips Pro Shops makes this simple: parents buy directly from the team store URL, the team holds no inventory, every shirt earns the program margin.

Parent-Friendly Team Store Setup

The biggest difference between high school and college rowing apparel programs: parents do the buying. The team manager or coach sets up the store; parents click the link, pick their rower's size, pay, and the apparel ships home.

The team handles nothing. No order forms, no spreadsheets, no Venmo collection from 60 parents. The store URL goes in the team email, in the boathouse Slack, or on the program's parent-facing app. Done.

High School Rowing Apparel Revenue Math

Program Size	Annual Apparel Spend/Rower	Margin %	Annual Program Revenue
30 rowers (small program)	$95	30%	$855
60 rowers (mid-size program)	$105	32%	$2,016
100 rowers (large prep program)	$115	33%	$3,795
150+ rowers (multi-team boys & girls prep)	$120	35%	$6,300

Per-rower spend in high school typically runs higher than other youth sports because parents buy multiple apparel pieces (tee, hoodie, hat, regatta gift) and pay the retail price without negotiating. The program revenue stacks year over year as new classes layer on top of the alumni base.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the high school program handle parent orders?

The team manager publishes the team store URL. Each parent clicks the link, picks the rower's size and apparel, pays, and the shirt ships to the parent's home address. The team handles no orders, no sizes, no payments.

Can a small junior crew program of 20 rowers run a full apparel program?

Yes. No minimum order. A 20-rower program can run the full lineup (tees, hoodies, hats) at the same per-shirt price as a 100-rower program.

Are youth sizes available for junior rowing programs?

Yes. Youth-sized tees, performance tees, long sleeves, hoodies, and caps are all available. Stock youth sizes alongside adult sizes so the full size range is covered.

Does the program need to handle order shipping?

No. Each parent enters their own shipping address at checkout. Shirts ship from US print facilities directly to the parent's home.
