Youth And Kids Murph Apparel

Youth and kids Murph apparel covers the family-friendly Memorial Day events that an increasing number of CrossFit boxes run alongside the standard adult Murph. Most youth athletes do a quarter Murph or kid-scaled version (400m run, 25 pullups, 50 pushups, 75 squats, 400m run, no weighted vest). The apparel parallels adult Murph design but uses youth-sized blanks and slightly softer language. Pieces start at $19.88 with no minimum order at the VIP base.

Youth Murph Format And Scaling

Common youth Murph formats by age group:

• Ages 6-9: half-quarter Murph (200m run, 12 pullups assisted, 25 pushups, 38 squats, 200m run), no vest, parent or coach scaffolding
• Ages 10-13: quarter Murph (400m run, 25 pullups, 50 pushups, 75 squats, 400m run), no vest, light pace

Design Language For Youth Murph Shirts

Design moves that work for kids without losing the honor element:

• Same Murph design as adult event tee: kids appreciate having "real" Murph shirts that match adults
• Scaled rep scheme on the back: youth quarter Murph rep scheme (400m / 25 / 50 / 75 / 400m) replaces the adult numbers
• Slightly softer color palette: same patriotic/military palette but lean toward the lighter end of the colors (lighter blue, lighter olive)
• "In honor of LT Michael Murphy" line still appears: kids are old enough to understand and appreciate the honor element
