Children's training tracksuits

Zip-up jacket and trousers: the outfit for warming up and travelling

The training tracksuit combines a fully zipped jacket and trousers, worn before and after the effort. It dresses the child during warm-ups, then on the bench and in the bus on match days, when the body cools down quickly after the game. The jacket can be removed in seconds without going over the head, which is helpful with wet hair or a helmet to stow away. A high collar protects the neck from the wind and elasticated cuffs prevent cold air from creeping up the sleeves. The zipped pockets keep small items safe during travelling.

Force XV Victory, UBB Mequo, Joma Lion: three styles of jackets

The Force XV Victory jacket is designed for clubs: it follows the line of the training shirt of the same name, allowing a whole category to be dressed uniformly, with the club logo printed on the chest. The Mequo jacket from Union Bordeaux-Bègles, in the colours of the Gironde club, delights young supporters, both at the stadium and in training. The Joma Lion tracksuit, sold with its trousers, offers a matching set, practical for a child discovering rugby who doesn't yet have their club kit.

Polyester mesh or fleece: which material depending on the weather

Most club tracksuits are made of smooth polyester mesh: lightweight, it dries quickly after a shower and doesn’t pill from rubbing against bags. The fleece, brushed inside, keeps you warmer on the sidelines in winter, but absorbs rain and becomes heavy. For a chilly child, it's better to layer a mesh jacket over a warm layer underneath rather than using a single fleece. For sizing, we rely on height and check that the sleeves cover the wrist with arms raised. When washing, we zip up the jacket and wash it inside out at thirty degrees to protect the logos.

Frequently asked questions

Should I buy the club tracksuit or a free model?

For official travel, many clubs require the common tracksuit, ordered from their supplier. In training, a free model is perfectly fine, as long as it is flexible and warm.

Is the tracksuit worn during training?

Yes, during warm-ups and technical drills in cold weather. The child takes off the jacket as soon as the intensity increases, then the trousers before scrimmages, to run freely and avoid any grabbing.

How can I get the club logo printed on a jacket?

The club usually goes through its teamwear supplier, who applies the logo via heat transfer or embroidery. Embroidery withstands repeated washes better, while heat transfer remains lighter and more flexible on the fabric.

Can a tracksuit jacket be worn at school?

Yes, a polyester mesh jacket can be worn daily over a t-shirt and fits easily in a school bag. Jackets in the colours of a club like UBB are often worn by children well beyond the pitch.

How can I prevent the zipper from breaking?

Always fully zip up before washing and never pull on the slider when the fabric is caught. If it gets stuck, using a dry soap or graphite pencil on the teeth makes it run more smoothly.
