FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for girls?

While labeled for 'Male' by gender attribute, these shorts feature a standard athletic cut suitable for any junior rugby player. Many girls wear similar styles for sports.

What size should I choose for my child?

These shorts are listed as size 7-8 UK children's sizing. It's best to measure your child's waist and compare it to a brand-specific size chart if available. Typically, the age range corresponds to the child's age, but individual growth varies.

Can these be used for sports other than rugby?

Absolutely. The durable cotton material, elasticated waistband, and comfortable fit make them suitable for a wide range of athletic activities, including general training, football, or even just active play.

Will the black color fade after multiple washes?

Like many dyed cotton garments, some minor fading can occur over time. To minimize fading, wash in cold water with similar colors and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Do these shorts have pockets?

Rugby training shorts, especially for junior players, typically do not feature pockets to minimize distractions and reduce the risk of injury during active play.

How durable is the elastic waistband?

The elasticated waistband is designed for durability and a secure fit. With proper care (avoiding high heat in washing/drying), it should maintain its elasticity for the lifespan of the shorts.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or too loose after washing.

Cotton can shrink if washed or dried at high temperatures. Always wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. If they've shrunk significantly, stretching them gently while damp may help. If too loose, confirm the correct size was purchased.

Stitching appears to be coming undone prematurely.

While reinforced, extremely rough play or snagging can stress seams. Inspect for specific areas of damage. For minor issues, re-stitching can extend life. Ensure washing instructions are followed to prevent material degradation that might weaken seams.

Fabric feels stiff or less comfortable over time.

This can happen with cotton due to detergent residue or hard water. Try using less detergent, adding a fabric softener (sparingly, as it can reduce breathability over time), or washing with a cup of white vinegar occasionally to break down residue. Ensure complete rinsing.

Care Instructions

To maximize the lifespan and maintain the quality of your KooGa Junior Rugby Training Shorts, follow these care guidelines:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Avoid hot water as it can cause cotton to shrink or fade.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric and stitching.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, hang dry to prevent shrinkage and preserve fabric integrity.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. Avoid ironing over any printed logos or designs.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure shorts are fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
