My 13yo daughter will be L8 this season and wants to compete in shorts. No one else at her gym does and they haven't offered the option, though I'd be shocked if they pushed back at a gymnast who wanted to. Like many normal teens, she would rather not be the only one and attract that attention...
What are your boys wearing to practice? Favorite brands?
One of our boys has asked for what sounds like bike shorts and I’m not sure that would be comfortable.
Granted, I only drop off and never stay so it could be something I’ve just missed.
Just curious… With USAG announcing that shorts can be worn during competition for women’s gymnastics, has your gym allowed shorts during practice and/or meets for this season?
Our gym has always encouraged shorts, however we are still getting gym transfers in from older girls who want to wear...
I just bought Men Gymnastics shorts from GK Elite. Like these pictures,

In Women's Gymnastics, they don't wear undergarments underneath leotards.
However, I assume Men wear undergarments FruitLoom/Hanes (boxers, underwears) with...
I searched the forums but all the threads look pretty old and outdated, does anyone have updated recommendations for shorts to wear over their leos? DD has been wearing her school leggings at practice, at first she said she was cold, but mom and I suspected it is because she is uncomfortable...
I thought this was interesting in light of another thread recently about having the options of wearing shorts with competition leotards.
"International Gymnastics Camp’s concern with the current issues facing USA Gymnastics drives us to take a pro-active approach to ensure gymnastics is a safe...
The dutch gymnastics federation decided to allow shorts in competitions. Before you could wear a unitard, but shorts that werent attatched to your Leo were a deduction. My kids don’t even wear shorts to practice (they are allowed to, most just don’t do it) but for now my rule stays no shorts in...
Hi, I've never worn shorts during practice because they were not allowed. Now they are allowing them on Fridays (and when the season ends, every day). So, I ordered Nike pro shorts. I'm 13 and 4'10-ish, and weigh around 80 pounds. I ordered a youth medium, but they were too long. The youth sizes...
Our gym permits them.......I have friends at other gyms where they are not allowed except for the older girls.....
We have a large gym with many boys and girls, and a lot of traffic.......
My DD wears them, and I have told her to keep wearing them for practice.....I can't imagine working out...
I currently have a hamstring injury and was told by my sports doctor to purchase compression shorts to wear while I am at practice. Does anyone have any recommendations as to where I could buy them? Thank you! :)
Not sure if this is the best place to put this one (admins, feel free to move it, if it's in the wrong spot!).
My DD's gym has a training uniform - red leo and black shorts (the velvet kind). She has just had a growth spurt, and I bought her some new shorts. The new shorts, although a good...
My daughter, who will ONLY wear Motionwear brand velour shorts, low-rise without rhinestones, just decided to have a growth spurt and outgrow all of her shorts. I went to the local sporting goods store where I usually buy them and was informed that "nobody wears velvet shorts in the summer, so...
Since unitards are allowed in comp. shouldn't shorts be as well? I've seen some teams compete with shorts on and I've always wondered if it was a deduction. I get it looks nice without, but theres just issues sometimes. What if a girls on her period? Or has serious self esteem issues? Or her leo...
Short shorts or long shorts?
Which does your boys' team wear?
Which do you prefer the look of?

My mom bought the shorts below for my daughter, who is in love with them and wanting to wear them to gym over her purple leotard. They do look very much like the little microshorts she wears from GK, but they are, indeed, boy short underwear. I'd rather her not get made fun of if she wears...
Just recently there has been a knew trend in our gym for some of the younger gymnasts (age 7-8) to wear tight crop tops and gym shorts (usually made out out of the same material as leotards), what do you think of these? I think they look kind of cute but the gymnasts who wear them have more...
Hi there,
Newbie mom here. Can you suggest what kind of shorts I should get for my daughter to protect her upper thighs on the bars? She's been complaining about how the bars rub against her thighs and make them hurt. Her coach suggested shorts. I got her cotton biker shorts to wear over her...
