Junior tennis apparel for competitive youth players covers a specific wardrobe: wicking polos for tournament play, performance tees for practice, skorts for girls under USTA dress code, sun hats for full-day match weekends, and sideline jackets for cool early-morning warmups. Bear Grips Pro Shops handles every piece with your academy, club, or program logo at no-minimum per-piece pricing, with name and number customization per order.

What junior tennis apparel actually means

Junior tennis covers competitive youth tennis from ages 8 to 18, split into USTA age divisions: 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U, 18U. Players compete at sectional and national tournaments, train through academies and lessons programs, and participate in USTA Junior Team Tennis leagues. The apparel needs reflect that:

USTA dress code considerations

USTA junior tournaments enforce dress code: collared shirts for boys (so polos, not tees, during match play), no large external logos beyond personal sponsor allowance, no offensive text or imagery. Practice apparel (tees, hoodies) is unrestricted.

The apparel program structure that works: polos and skorts for match play, tees and hoodies for practice, hats and sun-protection layers for both.

How a junior tennis academy uses one store

Academies running 30 to 200 junior players use the Pro Shops model because individual student families can order without academy staff sorting orders. Each player picks their size, level (10U, 12U, 14U, 16U, 18U), and customization, the shirt ships to their home. Academy keeps the markup on every piece.

See the junior tennis academy apparel guide for the academy-specific setup.
