Youth Sports Apparel, No Minimum Order

Bear Grips Pro Shops has no minimum order on any youth sports apparel. A coach can print one performance tee for a player who joins mid-season, or fifty for the whole team at the start of the year, and the per-unit base price is the same. This solves the single biggest problem in youth team apparel: the bulk pre-order that leaves the league with unsold sizes. Here is how the model works.

Why No Minimum Matters for Youth Teams

Youth teams shift roster constantly: new players join, players quit, players age up to a different age group, players need new sizes after a growth spurt. Bulk pre-orders cannot keep up with that movement. With Pro Shops, every player orders the apparel they need when they need it. The team or league never carries inventory.

Real Cases Where No Minimum Saves Money

• A new player joins the team in week 4 of the season. Coach orders one practice tee in the player's size.
• A player outgrows their team hoodie mid-season. The family orders the next size up.
• A tournament team is added mid-year. The coach orders the tournament tee for the 12 players on that specific team.
• A senior on the team wants a personalized last-game tee with their number on the back.

None of these orders require a bulk commit. The team pays nothing upfront; the family pays at checkout.

When Bulk Still Wins

Very large guaranteed-sell identical orders (200+ tournament tees for a participating-pay tournament) can still beat the no-min per-unit on wholesale. For everything else, the no-min model wins on total cost (including risk of unsold stock).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a setup fee per design?

No. The all-inclusive base price covers blank, print, packing, and free US shipping. No per-design setup fee.

Can we run a flash drop on a specific design for a tournament?

Yes. The shop supports time-limited product visibility. Open the tournament tee 14 days before the tournament; close it after the tournament. Each ordered tee prints and ships during the window.

What sizes are available?

Youth XS through XL on most blanks. Larger youth athletes who size into adult small or medium can buy the adult version of the same design.

Do parents see the lack of minimum?

Parents never see "minimum order" anywhere. They pick size, color, and quantity; the shirt ships. The no-minimum behavior is invisible to them.
