Puma Training Wear for Football Clubs

Matchday kit gets the photos. The training kit does the work. This collection brings together the Puma training wear we supply to grassroots clubs, schools, and semi-pro sides across the UK, from the short-sleeve tee your squad warms up in through to the Puma training top they pull on at 7 pm in January.

Every piece here can be finished in your club colours with your crest, initials, and sponsor added in-house. In the wider picture, our full Puma teamwear range includes match strips, benchwear, and accessories, alongside the training lines.

Puma Training Tops and Tees

A Puma training top is the layer a player trains in week to week, and the range splits into 3 clear jobs: short-sleeve training jerseys for warmer sessions and warm-ups, long-sleeve baselayers underneath for colder nights, and quarter-zip tops as the layer that goes over the lot.

Most of what we supply is in Puma's teamsport lines, including teamLIGA, teamGOAL, teamRISE, and teamCUP, made from lightweight, moisture-wicking polyester built for repeat use rather than occasional wear. For travel and off-pitch wear, the teamGOAL Casuals tees, polos, hoodies, and pants sit in the same collection.

That matters more than the spec sheet suggests. Training kit gets washed 2 or 3 times a week for 9 months, dragged across wet astro, and shoved in a bag still damp, so it pays to buy teamsport lines designed for that kind of use. For an 18-player squad, most clubs start with a training jersey each and a quarter-zip for autumn onwards, then build from there.

Quarter-Zips and Warm-Up Layers

A quarter-zip drill top is the piece a player wears arriving at the pitch, through the warm-up, and again at the end, while the manager runs through next Saturday. It is the most-worn item in most squads.

Puma's quarter-zips in this collection include the teamLIGA Training 1/4 Jacket, the teamGOAL Training 1/4 Zip Top, and the teamRISE 1/4 Zip Top. The part-zip opening lets a player vent during the session rather than stripping a layer off and leaving it on the halfway line, and the chest panel takes an embroidered crest neatly. Coaches and backroom staff tend to pick the quarter-zip as their layer, with the same crest in a different colourway to separate staff from players.

For deep winter, a quarter-zip on its own is rarely enough. Most clubs pair it with a training jacket, such as the teamGOAL or teamCUP Training Jacket, or a full tracksuit, and our Puma tracksuits and jackets page covers those outer layers in the same colour families, so nothing clashes when the squad lines up.

Puma Training Pants

Puma training pants are the bottom half of the training set, with options including the teamLIGA, teamLIGA Pro, teamRISE, and teamCUP training pants. They are cut slim so they sit close to the ankle instead of dragging through mud. Details such as zipped pockets and ankle zips vary by style, so check the individual product page if those matter to your squad.

Pants are also one of the items clubs reorder most, because they take the heaviest wear in a training set. Because we keep a record of the range and colourway your squad already has, we can usually match a replacement pair rather than sending you something close enough.

In spring and summer, plenty of squads swap pants for training shorts and keep the same top. You will find those, along with matchday shorts, on our Puma bottoms and shorts page.

A Consistent Look for Every Session

A football team's training kit should cover 4 things: a training tee for warm-ups, a training top for sessions, a warm-up or quarter-zip layer for before and after, and a pair of training pants or shorts.

We push clubs to pick 1 Puma range and stay in it, because ranges get refreshed and colourways get retired. A club that buys piecemeal across a season ends up with 3 slightly different shades of royal blue on the same pitch. Building your training set from a single range means the player who signs in November looks like the 17th who signed in July.

Extend it to the coaches and the touchline reads as one club rather than a collection of individuals. It costs very little extra to put the gaffer, the assistant, and the physio in the same quarter-zip as the squad, and it is the detail parents and visiting teams notice first. We have been kitting out grassroots clubs since 2001, and SX Sports is still family-run from our unit in Canvey Island, Essex. Most of what we know about properly kitting out a squad came from clubs telling us what went wrong elsewhere.
