Hoodies are the warm up and layering piece every working pickleball coach needs. Cold morning lessons on outdoor courts, indoor clubs running cool, and the long walk from the car to the court at 6 AM all call for a real hoodie. The right pieces here are the pullover hoodie, the zip up, and the premium fleece. Here is what to stock and how the print should sit.
The pullover hoodie reads best with a center chest or upper chest brand mark. Avoid hood prints (they crease) and front pouch prints (the kangaroo pocket distorts the design). Back panel works for a coach name in large type if the hoodie is meant to be visible from across the court.
