Custom youth boxing shorts for training and tournaments are available through Bear Grips Pro Shops with no minimum order. A boxing gym can order four pairs for a small new class or 40 pairs for a full program without committing to a bulk purchase. Lightweight athletic mesh shorts built for movement, available in the gym color palette, ship from US print facilities in about a week. Here is what to look for and how to build a full kit around the right shorts style.
Bear Grips Pro Shops carries athletic shorts specifically sized for youth athletes and designed for active training environments.
In addition to dedicated youth shorts, the adult shorts line is available for older youth athletes who run large (typically 13-14 year olds in the upper size range):
What Bear Grips Pro Shops does not carry: traditional satin boxing trunks with a waistband insert, or robes. These are specialty items sourced from combat sports outfitters. Our shorts are athletic training and lifestyle shorts, not competition-specific trunks. If a gym needs sanctioned bout shorts, those come from the governing body or a boxing supply retailer separately.
For most youth boxing programs, the same shorts serve both purposes. The distinction matters mainly for sanctioned amateur competition where specific rules govern what can be worn in the ring during a bout.
Training shorts are what kids wear every class: the athletic mesh short in the gym color with the gym logo. Comfortable, durable, easily washable, and designed to move with the athlete during footwork drills, bag rounds, and sparring. The Sport-Tek Youth Mesh Short hits all those marks without any compromises.
For sanctioned youth bouts at regional tournaments, the rules vary by governing body. USA Boxing, for example, has specific requirements for bout shorts that typically include a defined inseam length and prohibit certain types of logos. The athletic mesh shorts from Bear Grips Pro Shops are appropriate for the corner, warm-up, and team wear at competitions but may not meet the specific requirements for the actual bout, depending on the governing body.
If a gym attends sanctioned competitions, the smart approach is to use the Bear Grips shorts as the team training and warm-up standard, and source bout-specific shorts from a combat sports equipment supplier. Most youth boxing programs that compete already have this covered through the governing body's gear requirements. The custom team shorts handle everything outside the actual ring.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.The standard youth boxing training uniform at most independent gyms is a tee and shorts combination in the gym color palette. Getting the two items to coordinate takes one step: matching the color options across both product lines before ordering.
Bear Grips Pro Shops carries youth performance tees and youth athletic shorts in overlapping color ranges. The most common coordinating combinations for boxing gyms:
Adding the youth hoodie in the same color family completes a three-piece kit (tee, shorts, hoodie) that works for training, team photos, and tournament warm-ups. See the youth boxing hoodie guide for how gyms typically build out the warm-up layer.
For girls who prefer different sizing or fit in the shorts, see the girls youth boxing apparel guide for the specific options that fit female youth athletes best.
Youth athletic shorts follow standard youth sizing. The practical size-by-age guide for boxing programs:
When ordering for a class without precise measurements, the safe move is to run a quick size poll with parents before the order goes in. A group text with three size options (small, medium, large) and a deadline to respond takes 10 minutes and eliminates most size-exchange situations.
The easiest way to order shorts for a whole youth boxing program is through the Bear Grips Pro Shop store model. Set up the short in the gym color with the gym logo or team design, assign a price that gives the gym a profit margin (the $10-per-item default works well), and share the link with parents.
Parents click the link, pick the right size for their kid, pay, and the shorts ship directly to the house. The gym earns the margin on every sale without touching inventory, managing payment collection, or running size exchanges.
For gyms that prefer to collect gear centrally and distribute, the bulk-order model works through the same shop. The coach orders all sizes in one session, ships to the gym, and hands out at the next class. The no-minimum policy means a coach can order 5 pairs of shorts for a new junior class without being forced into a 12-piece minimum.
Pair the shorts with the matching youth performance tee using the same shop. Parents can add both items to a single order, and the combined kit ships together. Start your shop at the Pro Shops signup page or see the full youth boxing apparel guide for a broader product overview.
