Masters and Adult Competitive Gymnastics Team Apparel

Masters gymnastics and adult competitive teams are the small but committed competitive layer of adult gymnastics. AAU adult divisions, Masters meets, and adult invitationals draw teams of 4 to 20 athletes who train year round and travel to compete. The apparel program supports them everywhere except on the competition floor: training pieces during practice, team warm up at the meet, lobby and travel apparel between sessions, and meet day spectator shirts for family. Here is the masters team apparel guide.

The masters team apparel set

• Team training tee: every practice, program logo, athlete name on back.
• Team warm up jacket (quarter zip pullover): meet day, between sessions.
• Team joggers or sweatpants: travel days, warm up.
• Team hoodie: cool down, post meet, team identity off the floor.
• Team hat: meet day spectator, casual wear.
• Family supporter shirt: spectator shirts for parents and partners.

The competition leotard handled separately

The competition leotard sits outside print on demand and is sourced from a dedicated leotard manufacturer (GK Elite, Snowflake Designs, others). Pro Shops covers the training and team identity layer around the leotard. The strongest masters teams treat the leotard as the competition uniform and the rest of the team apparel (warm ups, hoodies, hats, training pieces) as the program identity that follows the team everywhere else. See the leotards alternative guide for the full breakdown.

Athlete name and team year on every piece

Masters teams benefit from per piece customization: each athletes name on every training and warm up piece, plus the team year (Class of 2026, Masters Team 2026) on the chest. Per piece print supports both on every order at no extra cost. The team lead does not have to pre commit to a sizing breakdown for the season. Athletes self order their training pieces in their size with their name.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the team add a sponsor logo to the apparel?

Yes. Sponsor logo on the sleeve or back panel. Same per piece print model, no extra fee per logo.

Whats the lead time on team warm ups?

About one week from order to delivery. Order 2 to 3 weeks before the first meet to allow buffer.

Should the team apparel match the leotard color scheme?

Pulling team colors from the leotard provider into the printed apparel template is the standard approach. Get the leotard color codes and have your design carry them.

Can family spectator shirts be in the same shop?

Yes. List a separate piece labeled "team supporter" or "[athlete name] mom" and family orders it the same way athletes order their training pieces.
