- Frequently Asked Questions
Track and field shorts fall into three categories: athletic mesh shorts for daily practice across every event, performance training shorts with a more athletic cut for serious training, and ladies-cut fitness shorts for women's distance and sprint athletes. Below are the four shorts that fit the program, the print placement that holds up under stretch, and how the team store handles individual sizing for each athlete.
Athletic 7-Inch Mesh Shorts: The Default Practice Short

Youth Athletic Mesh Shorts For Middle School
The Youth Athletic Mesh Shorts (No Pockets) (Sport-Tek, $32.92 Free, $26.88 VIP) scale down for middle school and youth track programs. Same construction, sized for smaller athletes.

Print Placement For Track Shorts
Two print placements that work on athletic shorts:
- Bottom-of-leg print (left or right side), school logo or program name in 3 to 4 inches.
- Hip placement, smaller school identifier.
Avoid front waistband prints (they get covered by shirts and tanks) and back-of-leg prints (they distort under sitting and stretching).
