Children's rugby: items dispatched within 24 hours

Getting a child ready for the start of rugby school

As the start date approaches, the list remains short but clear. First, you need studded shoes in the current size, as children's feet often grow during the summer, then a durable pair of shorts, high socks in the club's colours, and a fitted mouthguard. Clubs sometimes provide the match jersey, but a training top and a windbreaker are handy for the autumn sessions. A bag with a compartment for dirty shoes completes the setup. Prepared and dispatched within 24 hours, these items arrive just in time for the first training session.

Gift ideas for a young rugby fan

For a last-minute birthday, the club or favourite team jersey is a safe bet: a jersey from Stade Toulousain, the French XV, or the All Blacks always makes an impression. A ball in his size, size three for the younger ones and size four for those under about fourteen, encourages play in the garden. For a child already registered, a pair of shoes, a helmet, or a bag in his team's colours are useful gifts that he will take to every training session. Just make sure to check his size with the parents before ordering.

Winter gear: layering up to stay warm while playing

When temperatures drop, a child trains better by layering up. Closest to the body, a thermal base layer with long sleeves wicks away sweat and keeps warmth; on top, the jersey or training top, then a jacket or windbreaker for waiting times on the sideline. Leggings under the shorts protect the thighs from the cold without hindering movement. After the session, a puffer jacket or a sweatshirt prevents getting cold. These clothes should be fitted, without excess room, to avoid giving a grip during tackles.

Good deals

Great finds can be discovered in sales, clearance, stock clearances, and Black Friday. The new arrivals feature the latest collections. The highlights of the year follow a steady order: the Black Friday at the end of autumn, the year-end holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back-to-school.

Frequently asked questions

How to choose a bag for a child’s sports gear?

Opt for a lightweight bag, either with straps or a shoulder strap, with a separate compartment for dirty shoes. Sufficient capacity for a complete outfit, a towel, and a water bottle is enough, without overloading the child during the journey.

What’s the difference between a match jersey and a supporter jersey?

The jersey worn by players is more fitted and technical, designed to withstand contact. The supporter version, with a looser cut, comes in the same colours and is worn daily, making it the usual choice for a child.

At what age should you buy a first mouthguard?

As soon as the child experiences contact, often around seven or eight years old, a mouthguard suitable for his teeth is highly recommended. Junior models can be moulded at home and replaced when permanent teeth come in.

Can an item be exchanged if it doesn’t fit?

Yes, in line with our return conditions: the item must be new, unworn, in its original packaging, and without personalised printing. It's best to check size and fit before having a jersey printed.

How to prepare a child for their first tournament?

The day before, prepare the bag with two pairs of socks, a change of clothes, something to drink, and a snack. On-site, a sweatshirt or jacket helps the child stay warm between matches, which are often numerous and spaced throughout the day.
