Soccer Team Shirt Size Chart and Sizing Guide for Clubs

Soccer team shirt sizing for custom club apparel is easier than most coaches expect. With Bear Grips Pro Shops, each player orders their own size through the team shop -- eliminating the group size-chart collection process entirely.

Adult Unisex Sizing for Soccer Team Shirts

Most Bear Grips Pro Shops catalog shirts use standard US athletic sizing. General adult unisex guidelines:

• Small: chest 34-36 inches, waist 28-30 inches
• Medium: chest 38-40 inches, waist 32-34 inches
• Large: chest 42-44 inches, waist 36-38 inches
• XL: chest 46-48 inches, waist 40-42 inches
• 2XL: chest 50-52 inches, waist 44-46 inches

Fit varies slightly by brand. Sport-Tek styles tend to be athletic-cut (slightly trimmer). Next Level and Bella+Canvas run true to standard measurements. Gildan runs slightly larger.

Youth Soccer Shirt Sizing Guide

Youth sizing for soccer teams by approximate age:

• Youth XS: ages 4-6, chest 26-28 inches
• Youth S: ages 6-8, chest 28-30 inches
• Youth M: ages 8-10, chest 30-32 inches
• Youth L: ages 10-12, chest 32-34 inches
• Youth XL: ages 12-14, chest 34-36 inches

For players aged 13-14 who have hit their growth spurt, adult small often fits better. Since parents order their own size through the shop, size guesses are theirs to make -- including a brand-specific size chart link in your shop description helps.

Women's Sizing for Soccer Fan and Player Shirts

Women's-cut shirts (Bella+Canvas Women's Favorite Tee, Next Level women's styles) run closer to a fitted cut. Women's sizing guidelines:

• Women's XS: chest 32-33 inches
• Women's S: chest 34-35 inches
• Women's M: chest 36-37 inches
• Women's L: chest 38-40 inches
• Women's XL: chest 42-44 inches

Women who prefer a relaxed fit often go up one size in women's styles or choose the unisex option. Include this note in your shop description to reduce sizing confusion.

Why You Do Not Need a Group Size Chart

The traditional soccer club size-chart process: email all parents, wait for responses, compile a spreadsheet, submit one bulk order, and hope everyone measured correctly. With Bear Grips Pro Shops, none of that is necessary.

Each player and parent orders their own size through the team shop. The burden of getting the size right is on the buyer, not the coordinator. Link to the brand's size chart in your shop description and let each person make their own sizing decision.

This eliminates the biggest single source of bulk order frustration: wrong sizes that the coordinator has to handle after the fact.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which size chart to reference for a specific shirt?

Each product page in your Bear Grips Pro Shop links to the brand's size chart. Include this link in your shop description or team communication so players can reference it before ordering.

Do hoodies and sweatshirts size the same as tees?

Most hoodies run true to size or slightly larger due to the fleece construction. Buyers who want a fitted hoodie often size down one; those who prefer a relaxed fit stay with their normal size.

What if a player orders the wrong size?

Since each player orders and pays directly, sizing decisions are theirs. Bear Grips support can assist with exchange inquiries on a case-by-case basis.

Can I include sizing information in my team shop?

Yes. Your shop description field supports text, links, and formatting. Add a note like 'Not sure of your size? Check [brand] size chart here.' and link to the appropriate page.
