Kids' training top Under Armour

What is a children's Under Armour training top?

A children's Under Armour training top is a t-shirt, sweatshirt, or jacket designed to support sports sessions, separate from the jersey worn in matches. These items focus on lightweight and breathable materials, made to move with the body during activity. They can be worn both for training and in everyday life, making them versatile pieces for children practising football or another sport.

What types of Under Armour tops are available in this selection?

The selection covers several formats suited to the needs of young athletes. You'll find short-sleeved training t-shirts for warm-weather sessions, long-sleeved sweatshirts for cooler days, and lightweight jackets to wear before or after exercise. The choice mainly depends on the season and the type of session, whether indoors or outdoors.

How to choose the size of a training top for a child

The size is primarily chosen based on the child's age and build, keeping in mind that a fitted cut makes it easier to move during sports. If uncertain between two sizes, it's generally advised to go for the larger size to allow for ease, especially if the top is worn over a jersey or technical undergarment.

When to watch for good deals on children's training tops

Prices and offers on training tops change throughout the year, so it's helpful to know when to look. The Black Friday is often the first big event to watch for, followed by the end-of-year holidays, then the winter sales. In spring, the French Days are another time to follow before the new season's collections arrive. To keep an eye on these periods without waiting for a specific date, you can check the dedicated pages: the children's sales, children's deals, or more broadly the sales, Black Friday, and clearance pages of the site. If you're looking for recent arrivals, the children's new arrivals page shows the latest items added to the catalogue.

Frequently asked questions

Can a Under Armour training top replace a match jersey?

No, a training top is not designed to be worn in an official match as it does not feature the club's design or branding. It is intended for training sessions, warm-ups, or everyday use outside the field.

How to maintain a technical training top without damaging it?

The technical materials used in these tops usually support machine washing at low temperatures, but it's best to avoid fabric softeners that could alter the fabric's breathability. Air drying rather than tumble drying also helps to preserve the garment's fit for longer.

Can a Under Armour training top be worn for sports other than football?

Yes, these tops are designed for general sports use and are suitable for other activities such as running, fitness, or indoor training. Their fitted cut and breathable materials are not specific to football.

Should one prefer long sleeves or short sleeves for a child?

The choice mainly depends on the season and where the session takes place; an outdoor training session in winter would generally justify a long-sleeve model. For indoor sessions or warm weather, a short-sleeved t-shirt is usually more suitable.

Do Under Armour training tops all have the same cut?

No, the cut can vary from one model to another depending on whether it is a t-shirt, sweatshirt, or jacket, with some being more fitted than others. It’s therefore useful to check the description of each product rather than relying solely on the child’s usual size.
