Junior volley jackets and tracksuits

Zip-up jacket or tracksuit for a young person?

The zip-up jacket alone is the simplest: it goes over the jersey and comes off when it's time to play. The full tracksuit, jacket and trousers, is often requested by clubs for trips. It dresses a young person from head to toe in one order.

Softshell, puffer jacket, rain jacket: protecting from cold and water

The softshell, like those from Kempa or Uhlsport at the top of the page, cuts the wind and resists light showers while staying flexible. The children's puffer jacket, hooded from Hummel, keeps them warm during long waits in the stands. For a simple trip in the rain, a lightweight waterproof jacket is sufficient.

Growing into their jacket: the right size calculation

Jackets are sized by age or height. Choosing a size up allows them to keep the jacket for another season and leaves room for a sweatshirt underneath. Just avoid sleeves that extend beyond the hands, which can be awkward for warming up the shoulders.

Frequently asked questions

What jacket for a child playing in a cold gym?

A polyester zip-up jacket over a sweatshirt is enough for warm-up. For long waits between matches, a lightweight puffer jacket is more comfortable. The child takes everything off when it's time to play to avoid sweating in their warm layers.

Is a softshell useful for volley?

It is mainly for trips and outdoor tournaments, as it cuts the wind and resists light showers. Indoors, a standard tracksuit jacket is sufficient. The softshell is a good choice if the child walks or bikes to the club.

Can you print the club name on a children's jacket?

Yes, most tracksuit jackets can accept printing or embroidery. Softshells and puffer jackets are trickier to mark. Check with the printer before ordering for the team.

Should you choose a girl's jacket?

Unisex cuts suit most young people. The girls' models, which are a bit more fitted at the waist, can be filtered on the page. For a team order, a unisex range simplifies things.

How to wash a children's tracksuit jacket?

Zipped up, inside out, cold cycle: that's the trio that protects the fabric. Without fabric softener or tumble dryer, the club logo lasts longer. Air drying on a hanger is sufficient.
