Product Overview
The Finden & Hales Kids Team Shorts are a precision-engineered garment designed for the demanding requirements of junior athletics and school sports. Built from a lightweight 100% polyester fabric, these shorts are specifically designed to manage moisture and heat during high-intensity activity. The absence of pockets creates a streamlined, snag-free profile, ensuring that young athletes remain focused on their performance without distraction. With a focus on durability and comfort, these shorts represent a reliable choice for team kits and physical education uniforms.
Key Features
- Moisture-Wicking Technology: The technical polyester fabric draws perspiration away from the skin, promoting rapid evaporation to keep the wearer dry and comfortable.
- Adjustable Secure Fit: An encased elastic waistband paired with an internal drawcord allows for a customisable fit that stays secure during vigorous movement.
- Twin-Needle Stitching: Reinforced seams provide enhanced structural integrity, ensuring the garment withstands the stresses of frequent use and regular laundering.
- Streamlined Design: The pocket-free construction eliminates unnecessary bulk and potential snag hazards, providing a professional, athletic appearance.
- Tear-Out Tag: This feature allows for easy rebranding or increased comfort by removing any potential irritation at the waistline.
Design & Performance
The performance of these shorts is rooted in their 100% polyester composition. This synthetic fibre is naturally hydrophobic, meaning it does not absorb water, allowing the moisture-wicking properties to function efficiently. The fabric is exceptionally lightweight, which reduces the overall burden on the athlete and facilitates a full range of motion. The smooth texture of the material prevents chafing, while the twin-needle finishing on the hems ensures that the garment maintains its shape even after prolonged use in a competitive sporting environment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
For a professional team appearance, these shorts are highly compatible with both print and embroidery. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, recommends embroidery for school crests or club logos to achieve a traditional, durable finish that resists wear. For larger, more vibrant designs or numbering, our high-quality printing process is an excellent alternative, providing a bold look that remains flexible and comfortable against the fabric. All customisation is handled in-house to ensure the highest standards of quality control.
Use Cases
These shorts are ideal for various applications including primary and secondary school PE kits, junior football or rugby training sessions, and athletics clubs. They are also a superb choice for summer holiday camps and team-building events where a uniform, professional appearance is required for younger participants.

Practical Advice
To ensure the best fit, we recommend consulting our sizing guide which covers ages from 3/4 years up to 13 years. As these are performance shorts, they are designed to be worn as a base layer for active sports but can easily be paired with technical base layer leggings for outdoor training in cooler conditions.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance characteristics of technical polyester requires specific care. We recommend washing dark colours separately to prevent dye transfer, which can dull the appearance of the fabric or any applied customisation.
You should avoid the use of bleach, as these harsh chemicals will weaken the synthetic fibres and cause permanent discolouration. When drying, use a low temperature on the tumble dryer to preserve the elasticity of the waistband and the integrity of the fabric.
If ironing is required, use a cool setting and always iron on the reverse of the garment. This prevents the heat from damaging the polyester fibres or the custom print and embroidery. Finally, do not dry clean this item, as the industrial solvents are too abrasive for the technical finish of the fabric.
