What the AI looks for in Girls' Soccer Clothing
- Fabric
- Choose synthetic moisture-wicking fabric, usually polyester. Avoid cotton for anything worn while playing. Cotton holds sweat, gets heavy and chafes. Wet cotton also chills a player during cold games.
- Sizing system
- Check whether the item uses youth unisex sizing or a girls'-specific cut, and size from the brand's chart by chest and height, not by age. Most team kit is youth unisex, which runs straighter and longer than girls'-cut pieces. Sizes also differ between brands.
- Pant leg opening
- Training pants should have ankle zips or a tapered, stretchy cuff. Players need to pull pants on and off over cleats and shin guards, and a loose leg can catch the ball.
- Short length and liner
- Pick shorts that sit above the knee and have a secure drawcord waist. Longer or loose shorts get in the way of running and kicking, and a waistband with no drawcord slips during play.
- Team color and number compatibility
- For team use, pick a line sold in the team's exact colors with a smooth polyester panel for heat-pressed numbers. Textured or heavily printed fabrics do not take heat-transfer numbers well, and color shades vary between brands.
Brands that matter
- adidas: Tiro and Entrada are the go-to youth training and team lines.
- Nike: Dri-FIT Academy and Park cover youth training and team kit.
- Puma: Offers teamwear and training lines in youth sizes and is common with clubs.
- Under Armour: Strongest for base layers and compression pieces worn under kit.
- Augusta Sportswear: Budget team jerseys and shorts in many colors, often used by rec leagues.
What to avoid
- Cotton t-shirts or sweatpants used as playing kit.
- Buying several sizes up to grow into, since baggy kit snags and hampers movement.
- Fashion-printed pieces whose printing peels or fades after repeated hot washes.
- Training pants without zips or stretch at the ankle.
Questions
Are 'youth' or boys' team jerseys fine for girls?
Yes. Most team kit is youth unisex. A girls'-specific cut is narrower at the waist, so choose by preferred fit and the brand's size chart.
Do I need special socks for shin guards?
Soccer socks are knee-length and thicker so they cover the shin guards that most leagues require. Ordinary athletic socks are too short.
Girls' Soccer Jerseys
Jerseys follow the same rules: lightweight wicking polyester, youth unisex or girls' cut sized from the chart, and a line sold in your team's colors. A team line such as adidas Entrada 22 is the practical choice.
