Team Sports
Team Apparel.

Custom team apparel for every sport in the building — and a store for every family

Strive-To-Be prints and embroiders practice gear, warm-ups, coaches' apparel and spirit wear for school programs, clubs and youth leagues across Delaware County and Central Ohio. Every sport has its own page below with what programs actually order, a sample package, the real order-by date, and a quote link. Every program can run an online team store — a straight store at your quoted pricing, or a fundraiser where a set amount from every eligible item, $5 standard, goes back to the program when the store closes. Families order their own sizes, pay online, and nobody collects a check.

Winter sports — order by mid-October

Ohio winter practices open around November 1. Artwork and rough roster numbers by mid-October is the window for a two-week team store, production and sorting.

• Wrestling — practice tees, warm-up hoodies and joggers, weight-class personalization, youth club gear
• Basketball — shooting shirts, practice tees, bench warm-ups, the tryout-timing problem solved
• Cheer & Dance — spirit packs, fitted cuts, names on sleeves, parent matching
• Swim & Dive — parkas, deck tees, dryland gear, why swim parents buy the most
• Bowling — match-day polos, warm layers, small-roster team stores
• Ice Hockey — warm-ups, dryland tees, beanies, club-run programs

How a team store works

1. Send your logo, colors and rough roster. A mockup on the actual garment and a quote come back within a few business days.
2. Approve artwork and pick the store type. Straight store at your quoted pricing, or a fundraiser with $5 from every item — standard — back to the program.
3. Share one link. The store runs about two weeks; each family picks sizes and pays at checkout.
4. We print, sort by athlete and deliver — to the school, the rink or the gym, or pickup in Delaware.
