Custom Youth Team Jerseys: A Coach's Season Checklist
Ordering jerseys for a youth team is different from an adult league order: kids grow mid-season, rosters shift as players join or drop, and you're often coordinating sizes through parents rather than measuring players yourself. Here's a checklist that heads off the most common youth-team ordering mistakes.
Before You Order
- Confirm the final roster date. Order after sign-ups close, not before — a jersey already printed with a name can't be easily reassigned if a player drops.
- Collect sizes from parents directly, not by age. Send a simple size-chart link (every Mowment product page has one) rather than guessing by age group.
- Decide fit category per player. Youth/Kid's sizing is scaled differently from adult Small — don't put a small adult in a "Kid's Large" assuming it's equivalent.
Handling Mid-Season Roster Changes
Because there's no minimum order, adding 1–3 jerseys mid-season for a new player is easy — we keep your approved design on file so the reorder matches the first batch. See our guide on ordering with no minimum for exactly how small top-up orders work.
Budgeting for a Youth Team
Team pricing starts at just 2 pieces: 5% off 2+, 10% off 5+ and 15% off 10+ — see bulk team jersey discounts for how to get your discount code. Ordering the whole roster at once puts you in the highest tier you qualify for.
A Simple Pre-Order Checklist
- Roster finalized and sign-ups closed
- Size collected per player (not guessed by age)
- Team colors and logo file ready (if using a logo add-on)
- Name/number spelling double-checked with parents before submitting
- Free mockup requested in the Order note box and approved before production (recommended for team orders)
- Delivery date checked against season start — allow 5–10 business days processing plus 7–10 business days shipping
FAQ
What if a player joins after we've already ordered?
Order their jersey separately — there's no minimum, and we keep your approved design on file so it matches the rest of the team.
How do I size kids without measuring every player myself?
Send parents the product page's built-in Size Guide and ask them to compare against a jersey or shirt that already fits well, rather than guessing by age.
Can different players have different print finishes (printed vs stitched names)?
Yes — each jersey in a team order can have its own print method and logo selection.
How far in advance should we order before the season starts?
Allow 5–10 business days processing plus 7–10 business days shipping. If you ask for a mockup proof first (sent within 24–48 hours), processing starts from your approval date, so add that time too.
