Custom volleyball team shirts are the most-ordered piece of apparel for volleyball programs at every level. Whether you need ten shirts for a middle school travel squad or two hundred for a club program's end-of-season, the process is the same: pick your products, upload your design, and ship to the team.
This guide covers what to order, what designs work, and how to set up a no-minimum custom volleyball apparel shop that handles every team request automatically.
What Makes a Good Volleyball Team Shirt
Volleyball teams wear their shirts in three situations: practice, sideline warm-up, and fan wear. The product that works for all three is a lightweight, breathable tee in a darker colorway that holds the design well.
What coaches and program directors order most:
- Performance tees. Moisture-wicking fabric that works for practice and looks clean enough for game day warm-up.
- Classic cotton tees. Fan parents, alumni, and support staff prefer the feel and weight of a standard cotton shirt.
- Hoodies for cold gyms and tournaments. A program hoodie worn during warm-ups and travel is one of the best-selling items any volleyball shop carries.
- Tanks for summer club season. Performance tanks are popular for open gym, beach tournaments, and summer league play.
Best Products for Volleyball Teams
The Bear Grips catalog has 63 products built for exactly this use case. For volleyball programs, these are the top performers:

Volleyball Shirt Design Ideas That Actually Sell
Design approach depends on who is wearing the shirt. Team wear leans minimal and functional; fan wear leans bold and program-proud.
- Program name and year. The most reordered design every season. Simple, clean, and instantly recognizable. Works on any colorway.
- Mascot or logo with sport indicator. A graphic that says volleyball without being literal -- crossed volleyball motifs, net silhouettes, or a player mid-jump.
- Number-based designs. "Class of 2026" on the back of a team hoodie. Individual player numbers on practice tees. Collectible and memorable.
- Vintage or distressed treatment. Retro fonts, faded graphics, and worn-in color palettes are trending for volleyball apparel right now.
- Motivational text. Short phrases specific to the program work well on the back or sleeve of a hoodie -- something the team actually says, not a generic slogan.
How to Order With No Minimum
The no-minimum model changes how volleyball programs order. Instead of collecting payment and submitting one bulk order, each player or parent orders directly from the team's shop and pays individually. Shirts are printed and shipped to each address.
For programs that want to hand out shirts at practice, a coach or booster club admin can place a single order with multiple sizes and have them all shipped to one address. Either way, there is no minimum and no upfront inventory cost.
The workflow:
- Set up a free Bear Grips Pro Shop for your program.
- Upload your design or send it to the Done-For-You team.
- Share your shop link with the team, parents, and alumni.
- Orders are printed and shipped automatically -- you do nothing after setup.
Setting Up a Volleyball Program Shop
A Bear Grips Pro Shop gives volleyball programs a permanent branded storefront. Parents bookmark it, coaches share it before every season, and orders come in year-round without any additional work from the program.
Free plan lets you run three live products with no monthly cost. Self-Service VIP ($59/month) opens the full 63-product catalog and lowers base prices by $4 to $11 per item. Done-For-You VIP ($109/month) has a personal advisor apply your design to 15 trending products every month.
Most volleyball programs start on the free plan to test the shop, then upgrade once orders are coming in. See how to set up a volleyball apparel store for the full step-by-step.
