Children's teamwear sales

Children's rugby shorts: sturdy and short

The rugby shorts stand out from regular sports shorts due to a stronger fabric, either twill or woven polyester, and a short cut that keeps the thighs free for running, jumping, and pushing in scrums. The Errea Brest shorts and the woven shorts Canterbury withstand the pulls of scrums, while the lighter adidas shorts with three stripes are good for warm-ups and running drills. An elastic waistband with a drawstring keeps them in place during tackles, which is important for a child with a slim waist. Club shorts, like those of Stade Français, also feature the team's colours.

Shorts, trousers, and jackets for winter sessions

Under the shorts, the compression shorts Erima, made from stretchy fabric, support the thigh muscles, reduce chafing and keep warmth during January training sessions. For warming up and returning to the changing room, the jogging trousers Force XV are worn over the outfit and can be removed at the last moment. The tracksuit jacket, from Union Bordeaux-Bègles or Force XV Victoire, completes the set on the sidelines, in between tournament matches. Layering these items allows one to be removed as soon as the effort heats the body, and then put back on as soon as the session ends, when the body cools quickly.

Teamwear: dress an entire team in the same colours

Teamwear refers to the outfits that a club or rugby school selects from the same range to dress all its players: matching shirts, shorts, socks, and tracksuits. Relying on consistent references, such as the Gilbert Xact available in various colours, allows equipping a new player without mismatching the group. For a child, the size is based on their height in centimetres: a slightly loose fit for the tracksuit, worn over the top, and a fitted style for the compression shorts, which should provide support. Buying the next size up during sales, ahead of the September return, is a common reflex among parents of young players.

Frequently asked questions

What outfit should I prepare for starting at the rugby school?

A training shirt, sturdy shorts, and long socks form the base, complemented by jogging trousers and a jacket for winter. The club often provides the match shirt, in the team's colours.

Are compression shorts worn under the shorts?

Yes, the compression shorts are worn directly against the skin, under the rugby shorts. They support the muscles, prevent chafing between the thighs, and keep warmth when the ground is cold.

How do I wash a training outfit full of mud?

Let the mud dry before brushing it off, rinse with cold water, then wash inside out at thirty degrees. The tumble dryer prematurely wears out the elastic fibres of the compression shorts and shorts waistbands.

Why are rugby shorts so short?

Short shorts keep the thighs free for running, jumping in touch, and pushing in scrums, and provide little grip for the opponent. Their thick fabric compensates for their short length by withstanding pulls.

What is the purpose of a tracksuit jacket in rugby?

It keeps the muscles warm during warm-ups, on the bench, and when returning to the changing room, when the body cools quickly. Zipped, it can be taken off in seconds before entering the field.
