Football apparel for the whole program — freshman to varsity, sideline to booster tent

Football orders are the biggest of the year: the largest rosters, the most coaches, and a parent section that wants to match. Strive-To-Be outfits Ohio high-school, middle-school and youth league programs with practice gear, sideline layers, coaches' apparel and fan spirit wear — all printed and embroidered in Delaware, Ohio.

What football programs actually order

• Practice tees — two or three per player, one-color chest or back print. Cotton-poly blends hold up to daily two-a-days and daily washing.
• Sideline hoodies and quarter-zips — the cold-weather layer for the bench, the bus and Friday night. Embroidered left chest is the standard look.
• Coaches' polos, jackets and hats — the whole staff on one artwork approval, sized and named.
• Spirit wear — "Football Mom," "Football Dad," student-section tees, program hoodies and hats through an online team store so the boosters never touch a size sheet.
• Youth and middle-school leagues — sized youth XS through adult, with a team store so each family orders their own.
• Senior night and playoff gear — short-run DTF for names, numbers and "state" runs when the season goes long.

Game uniforms and helmets are specialty items. Ask when you request a quote and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit for your timeline.

A sample football package

What a varsity program typically orders in July. Every package is quoted for your roster and artwork — there's no public price list, and you'll always talk to a real person.

• 2 × cotton-poly practice tees, one-color print
• 1 × fleece sideline hoodie, embroidered left chest, printed back
• Coaches: quarter-zip and polo, embroidered
• Optional: player numbers on the practice tees

Timeline: the football calendar runs early

Ohio high-school football practices open in the first days of August, which means summer is the ordering season, not fall:

• June: send your logo, colors and approximate roster. Mockup and quote within a few business days.
• By July 1: approve artwork. A team store opens now and runs about two weeks, before families leave for vacation.
• July: production, sorted by player, delivered or picked up in Delaware by arrangement.
• First practice: everyone matches.

Mid-season and playoff runs move faster because artwork already exists — a senior-night or "road to state" tee can usually turn around quickly. Youth leagues and spring 7-on-7 programs order February through April. Tell us your date and we'll be straight with you about what's realistic.

Team stores that raise money for the program

Football boosters run the biggest spirit-wear stores of any sport. Parents, grandparents and students order online in their own sizes and pay at checkout; the booster club never fronts a dollar or collects a check. Run it as a straight store at your quoted pricing, or as a fundraiser: a set amount from every eligible item — $5 standard — goes back to the program when the store closes.
