Nothing is more frustrating than ordering a custom uniform online only for it to arrive and not fit properly. With game-day deadlines and busy practice schedules, the last thing you want is to waste time on returns or reordering properly sized gear. 

Luckily, Nike youth jersey size charts can give you more direction in the ordering process. These charts are organized by age, gender, and garment type. At gearUP, we use these charts every day to help customers find the right apparel options for their athletes. We hope that providing easy access to this reference will simplify your uniform ordering.

How to Measure

As you consult charts to find the right-sized apparel for your athletes, you need accurate athlete measurements to reference. For youth sports apparel, you will generally need to know: 

  • Height: Measure while standing up straight
  • Chest: Measure at the fullest part of the chest 
  • Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of the abdomen
  • Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips

Be sure to write down measurements in both inches and centimeters, as apparel companies may use either unit. Nike provides both in their size charts.

Apparel Fit Tips

Keep the tape measure taut as you take measurements, but do not squeeze it too tight. It should fit flat against the body but not put pressure on it. Take care to keep the tape measure straight as well. If you measure at an angle, you can end up with inaccurate numbers. 

Consider your child’s sport and individual preferences as you determine which size works best. Get more tips and information on sizing in our uniform fit guide

Nike Size Charts: Youth Apparel

The cut and fit of youth apparel is designed with their unique physical characteristics in mind. While every child differs, Nike’s youth lines generally fit children aged 7 to 15. Youth small jerseys typically fit children around 8 years old, while youth large jerseys typically fit children around 12 years old, for example.
