KooGa Junior Rugby Training Shorts - Black - 7-8

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
