Recreational gymnastics teams sit between true competitive teams (the level 3-10 competitive squad) and casual recreational classes. They train more than rec, less than competitive. They go to invitationals and pre-team showcases. They need the gear: matching warmup tees, squad hoodies, joggers for travel, polos for the coaches, and parent gear for the bleachers. Below is the full rec gymnastics team apparel lineup and how to set it up so every gymnast can order direct.
What a rec gymnastics team needs in apparel
- Warmup tee: cotton or performance, team logo front, gymnast name on back
- Squad hoodie: pullover with team logo, year, and squad name
- Joggers or sweatpants: travel-day bottoms
- Team tank or racerback: for warm-weather invitationals
- Coach polo and quarter-zip: sideline staff uniform
- Parent gear: matching tees and hoodies for the bleachers
Standard layout for the warmup tee
The team warmup tee carries the most information:
- Front chest: gym logo or team mark
- Back top: team name in arched type ("LIONS GYMNASTICS")
- Back center: gymnast first name or last name
- Sleeve: year or season ("2026 SEASON")
Each tee is printed per order so each gymnast gets her own name on the back. Same tee, different name, no minimum.

Squad hoodies are the highest-margin team item. Keep them looking premium:
- Lock the color to the team color (one or two colors, not five)
- Use a clean serif or slab font for the team name on the back
- Avoid neon or fluorescent inks
- Add a small sleeve detail (year, team monogram) for finishing
The Comfort Soft Hoodie ($36.88), Champion Performance Hoodie ($45.88), and Classic Zip-Up ($41.88) all work. Most teams default to Comfort Soft.
Travel and showcase apparel
Teams that travel to invitationals need a travel-day look. The standard kit:
- Squad hoodie
- Joggers or sweatpants ($40.88)
- Performance tee underneath
- Coordinated team tote or duffle (optional)
Photo-ready for arrival at the meet. Builds team identity, makes the squad feel professional, and parents and grandparents take great photos.

Can each gymnast have her own name on the warmup tee?
Yes. Each tee is printed per order, so each gymnast can pick her own size and have her own name on the back.
Do we have to order all the warmup tees at once?
No. Parents order direct from the team shop. Each gymnast orders her own size and name.
What if a new gymnast joins mid-season?
She orders the same warmup tee at the same price. The shop runs year-round and no minimum applies.
Can we add a sponsor logo to the back?
Yes. A sponsor logo can sit below the gymnast name on the back. Each tee can be printed with the same sponsor mark.
