Track and field wholesale team orders have historically meant a coach placing one bulk order at the start of the season with sizes pre-collected from every athlete. Bear Grips Pro Shops supports both bulk team orders and individual athlete ordering — at the same per-unit price. Below is the breakdown of when wholesale-style bulk orders make sense, when individual ordering wins, and how to run both from the same team shop.
Three scenarios:
Almost everything else: practice gear, spirit wear, parent pieces, alumni gear, new athletes joining mid-season, athletes who outgrew last year's tank. Individual ordering eliminates the size-collection spreadsheet, never leaves the coach holding leftover XLs, and lets the program shop run as a year-round revenue stream rather than a one-time event.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.The catalog base price is the same at any volume. A Performance Workout Tank at the Self-Service VIP base is $19.88 whether you order 1 or 200. There is no break-point pricing, no setup fee, no minimum batch surcharge. This means the program can run individual ordering all season and add bulk orders when specific batches make sense.
The team shop supports both modes side by side. The coach can place a single bulk order for 40 meet tanks (shipped to coach, distributed at practice) while athletes individually order practice gear and parent pieces. The shop dashboard tracks bulk and individual orders separately.
For a 40-tank bulk order on the VIP plan ($19.88 base each):
| Line | Cost |
|---|---|
| 40 tanks at $19.88 base | $795.20 |
| Setup fees | $0 |
| Shipping (free) | $0 |
| Coach time on sizing | ~2 hours |
| Total Program Cost | $795.20 |
Many programs split this cost: each athlete pays $25 to $30 toward their uniform, the program covers the rest from operating budget.
Free branded shop. Bulk team orders and individual athlete orders work side by side.
Start FreeNo separate wholesale account. The Self-Service VIP plan ($59/month) provides the lowest catalog base prices and is the closest to wholesale-style pricing. Free plan provides slightly higher catalog base with no monthly fee.
Yes. Single-transaction bulk orders of any volume work the same way. Price per unit is unchanged.
No quantity discount. The Self-Service VIP and Done-For-You VIP plans provide the same low base price at any volume.
If you order specific sizes upfront, you receive those specific sizes. There are no leftover sizes because each unit was specified at order. Programs that prefer no-leftover risk should use individual ordering.
