Youth box lacrosse programs need apparel that works for players, parents, and coaching staff alike. Bear Grips Pro Shops provides youth-sized shirts, hoodies, and hats with custom printing, no minimum order, and a store model that eliminates collection coordination. Program directors set up the shop once; players and parents order their own sizes directly.

Youth-Sized Products for Box Lacrosse Programs

Bear Grips Pro Shops carries several products specifically sized for youth players:

How Youth Box Lacrosse Programs Use a Team Store

The most common friction point for youth program coordinators is the apparel order. Running a pre-order means collecting sizes from 30 families, waiting for payments, and distributing shirts at practice. Often three shirts in the wrong size remain at the end of the season.

A Bear Grips Pro Shops team store eliminates that process. The coordinator sets up the shop (about 20 to 30 minutes for a basic store), shares the link in the team group chat, and parents order directly. Each shirt ships to the buyer's home. The coordinator earns a profit on every sale without touching inventory.

A typical youth box lacrosse season store runs for four to six weeks at the start of the season and again around tournament time. Opening the store twice per year doubles the revenue window with the same setup effort.

Revenue Math for a Youth Box Lacrosse Program Store

Here is how the numbers typically look for a youth box lacrosse program store:

Program SizePurchase RateAvg Items/OrderMargin/ItemRevenue per Launch
30 players40%1.5$12$216
60 players35%1.5$12$378
100 players30%1.5$12$540

Youth programs tend to see higher purchase rates than adult programs because parents often buy for their kids AND themselves in the same transaction. A parent clicking the store link frequently ends up with a player tee AND a parent hoodie. That multi-item habit pushes average order value up significantly.

Running the store twice a year (season start and tournament season) roughly doubles these revenue figures with the same setup investment.

Designing Apparel That Youth Players Actually Want to Wear

Youth lacrosse players are the toughest audience. They will tell their parents whether they want the shirt or not, and parents buy accordingly. Designs that youth players reject sit in the store unsold.

Getting Started: A Step-by-Step for Youth Program Directors

Starting a youth box lacrosse apparel shop takes less than an hour. The main steps:

  1. Sign up at Bear Grips Pro Shops (free plan available, no credit card required for the free tier).

  3. Select the products you want to offer. For youth programs: youth tee, youth hoodie, youth hat, and one parent-facing item like a coach tee or pullover hoodie.
  4. Set your retail prices (default recommendation: $10 profit per item).
  5. Share the store link with your parent group chat, email list, or team app.

Frequently Asked Questions

What youth-sized shirts work best for box lacrosse programs?

The Youth Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee (Bear Grips) is the most popular choice for team photo day and program events. The Youth Moisture-Wicking Performance Tee (Sport-Tek) is the better choice for training days where the player is active and needs a fast-drying fabric.

How does a youth lacrosse team store handle different sizes for each player?

Each player's parent orders and pays for their own size directly through the store link. Shirts ship to each home address. The coordinator does not need to collect sizes, manage payments, or distribute anything.

Do youth box lacrosse programs earn money from apparel stores?

Yes. The program sets a profit margin on every product (default: $10 per item). That margin is paid by Bear Grips with every order placed. A youth program with 60 families can earn $300 to $500 per store launch depending on purchase rate.

Can I include both youth and adult sizes in the same box lacrosse store?

Yes. Most products are available in both youth and adult sizing. The store can carry both simultaneously so parents can buy for themselves and their player in one checkout.
