ProAct blue short-sleeve kids rugby training jersey

This ProAct training jersey is aimed at young rugby players looking for sturdy, versatile equipment, able to withstand intense sessions without losing its shape or comfort. Designed for multi-activity use (training, club, free play), it relies on robust construction with reinforced seams and double-needle finishing at the sleeves and hem. The open V-neck makes it easy to pull on and limits neck friction during exertion. The standard cut suits most body shapes and allows a light protection to be worn underneath if needed.

The choice of polyester interlock for the body of the jersey ensures good durability over time and quick drying after washing, an advantage for families who juggle several training sessions a week. The 100% polyester mesh panels placed under the arms, at the shoulders and on the sides provide targeted ventilation where perspiration builds up, without compromising the overall strength of the garment. This royal blue jersey is understated, with no imposed sponsor or print, leaving the club or player free to personalise the markings.

Which size should I choose for a 12-year-old child?

The 12-year size fits a chest measurement of about 81 cm. If the child is sturdy or wants to wear a thermal layer, choose the 14-year size.

Does the jersey shrink when washed?

No, polyester interlock retains its dimensions. Wash at 30°C maximum and air drying is recommended.

Can a number be printed on the back?

Yes, the polyester fabric accepts heat-transfer printing. Check compatibility with the printing workshop (maximum temperature 110°C).

Care tips

Machine wash at 30°C maximum with similar colours. Do not use bleach. Air drying is recommended to preserve the elasticity of the fabric and the strength of the reinforced seams. Gentle ironing (110°C max) on the reverse side if necessary, avoiding the mesh panels which do not need it. Store flat or on a hanger to avoid marked creases.

Design

ProAct built this jersey to strict specifications: withstand repeated pulling (tackles, jersey grabs, snags) while keeping a reasonable weight so as not to restrict the mobility of young players. Polyester interlock offers a slightly textured surface that limits slipping between fibres, hence better tear resistance than a single jersey knit. The mesh panels are not mere decorative inserts: positioned under the arms and along the flanks, they create an air channel that evacuates heat without creating a structural weak point (the 100% polyester mesh bears the same tension as the body of the jersey). The double-needle finishing at the sleeves and hem doubles the seam thickness at stress points, delaying fraying even after dozens of washes.

Brand

ProAct positions itself in the club and school training equipment segment: accessible technical products designed to last under intensive use and frequent washing cycles. The brand favours simple, robust constructions rather than marketing technologies: no superfluous antibacterial treatment, no exotic fibre, just well-knitted polyester and reinforced seams where it counts. This pragmatism appeals to coaches and parents looking for reliable equipment without paying the price of an official replica.
