Plus-Size Tennis Apparel: Custom Shirts, Tanks, and Hoodies in Extended Sizes

Extended sizing is available across several categories in the Bear Grips catalog. The key products for clubs focused on inclusive sizing are:

• Bear Grips Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee and performance tees from Sport-Tek in up to 4XL
• Bella+Canvas and Next Level tank tops including the performance workout tank and flowy scoop muscle tank
• Comfort Soft Hoodie from Bear Grips and the Unisex Champion Performance Hoodie in extended ranges
• Bear Grips Signature Seamless Leggings and Women's High-Waist Pocket Leggings
• Bear Grips Women's Signature Biker Shorts

Polo shirts from Sport-Tek and Gildan also offer extended sizing in both men's and women's cuts, which matters for clubs with a dress code requiring collared shirts. Check the specific product page for exact size ranges, as availability varies by garment.

Tennis clubs that stock only standard sizing in their merchandise shop consistently hear from members who could not find something that fit. That feedback is quiet and chronic, because members rarely complain directly. They just do not buy, and you never know why.

Building your club shop with extended sizing from the start removes that friction. It signals that the club is organized and thoughtful, not just grabbing the easiest option. It also opens your shop to segments of your membership that were previously excluded from the apparel conversation.

For women's programs specifically, plus-size tennis outfits are a real need. Women's recreational tennis has grown substantially and many of those players are looking for functional, branded apparel that fits well and looks good. A club that provides that earns loyalty that goes well beyond the shirt itself.

Fabric choice matters more in extended sizing because fit issues are amplified by poor stretch or rigidity. The best performers in our catalog for plus-size tennis apparel are moisture-wicking blends and four-way stretch fabrics.

The Sport-Tek moisture-wicking tees use polyester blends that move with the body and resist sweat during play. They do not cling in unflattering ways at extended sizes, which is a real issue with cheaper cotton alternatives that grow heavy when damp.

For leggings and biker shorts, the Bear Grips Signature Seamless Leggings and Women's High-Waist Pocket Leggings are built for movement. The high-waist cut provides coverage and compression that many plus-size players prefer during play.

Tank tops from Bella+Canvas, particularly the women's flowy scoop muscle tank, are cut with enough ease to be comfortable without reading as oversized. They work on the court for casual play and remain appropriate for post-match time in the clubhouse.

When building your Bear Grips club shop, simply enable the full size range available for each product in the catalog. There is no extra cost to offer extended sizes and no minimum order per size, so you are not guessing on inventory.

List the size range clearly in your product titles or descriptions so members with extended sizing needs can find their options quickly. A note in your club newsletter announcing that your shop now carries sizes through 3XL or 4XL will drive purchases from members who had written off the shop previously.

For clubs running the Done-For-You VIP service at $109/month, our team configures the size range across all products by default. You can request specific size focus based on your membership demographics. Visit our women's tennis club apparel guide for more on building a women-focused shop layout.
