Sport-Tek Polos and Performance Tees for Football and Track Programs
Quick Answer- A program shop needs different Sport-Tek pieces for players, coaches, and booster staff.
- Bear Grips stocks the Sport-Tek moisture-wicking tee, long sleeve, quarter-zip, and performance polo.
- One shop link covers player practice gear, staff sideline polos, and booster fan tees.
- No minimum order, free shipping, and about a week from order to door.
Eighteen years on a sideline teaches you that a program is not one apparel decision, it is four or five of them stacked together. Players need something to sweat in at practice. Coaches need something that reads clean on the sideline in front of parents and film crews. Booster staff and team parents want something they can wear to the game without looking like they raided the equipment room. Sport-Tek covers most of that range, and Bear Grips Pro Shops puts it behind one shop link instead of four separate vendor relationships. Here is how the pieces line up.
The Four Roles a Program Shop Has to Dress
- Players at practice. The Sport-Tek Men's Moisture-Wicking Tee ($23.86 VIP base) or the Youth Moisture-Wicking Performance Tee ($23.88 VIP base) for younger squads and feeder programs.
- Coaches and staff on the sideline. The Sport-Tek Men's Performance Polo Shirt ($34.88 VIP base). It reads more like a coach than a player and holds an embroidered logo well.
- Cold-weather practice and travel days. The Sport-Tek Men's Moisture Wicking Long Sleeve ($29.88 VIP base) or the Men's Performance Quarter-Zip Pullover ($29.88 VIP base) for early fall mornings and late track meets.
- Booster club and team parents. The Ladies' Moisture Wicking Tee ($25.88 VIP base) for parents who want something more athletic than a plain cotton fan shirt.

Setting Up the Program Shop
- Sign up free (3 live products) or go VIP at $59/mo for 200 products if you are running multiple sports out of one shop.
- Upload the program logo once. It gets applied across every piece.
- List the roster tiers: player tee, coach polo, cold-weather long sleeve, quarter-zip, booster tee.
- Set retail. Most programs land around $28-$32 for tees, $45-$55 for polos and quarter-zips.
- Send the link to the team group chat and the booster club email list.
There is no minimum order and no inventory to store in the equipment room closet. A single freshman ordering one tee costs the same per unit as a 60-player varsity order.
Track and Field Adds Its Own Wrinkle
Track programs run a longer outdoor season than football, spring meets in cold rain and May heat in the same eight weeks. The same Sport-Tek moisture-wicking tee and long sleeve cover both ends, and a program that runs football in the fall and track in the spring can reuse the same shop and logo files rather than building two separate storefronts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a separate shop for football and track?
No. One shop can carry both rosters. List the pieces once, tag them by sport in your own labeling if you want, and let players and parents order from either program off the same link.
Can parents order without going through the coach?
Yes. Once the shop is live, anyone with the link can order their own size directly. The coach is not the middleman for every order.
Whats the cheapest way to outfit a full roster?
Start with the Men's Moisture-Wicking Tee at $23.86 VIP base. A 50-player order at that base price with a modest markup still leaves room for booster club profit.
How fast can we get gear before the first game?
About a week from order to door. Open the shop with enough runway before the season opener so orders land before week one.
