Product Information
Full details
The Nike Academy Drill Top is a performance-focused athletic garment designed for young athletes who need to stay comfortable and agile during intense training sessions or matches. Featuring signature Nike moisture-management technology, this top helps keep players cool and dry by wicking away sweat. While it excels at high-intensity movement and layering, users should note that as a performance-fit garment, it is designed to sit closer to the body, which may feel restrictive for those who prefer a looser, oversized aesthetic.

FAQs
Is this top suitable for cold weather?
Yes, it works well as a mid-layer during cold weather training, though it is thin enough to remain breathable.
Does the top have pockets?
No, this is a streamlined performance drill top designed to be lightweight, so it does not feature pockets.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
We recommend air drying to keep the fabric in the best condition, but if necessary, use the lowest heat setting available.
Is the fit true to size?
The top features a performance fit, which is closer to the body than a standard lifestyle hoodie; if you prefer a looser fit, you may consider sizing up.
Does the Dri-FIT technology fade over time?
If washed according to instructions—specifically avoiding fabric softeners—the moisture-wicking performance will remain effective for a long period.
Can this be worn for non-sporting activities?
Absolutely, the athletic style is popular for casual, everyday wear, though it is optimized for high-intensity activity.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after heavy sweating
Ensure you are wearing the item as a base layer; the Dri-FIT material needs contact with skin to wick moisture effectively.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to slide
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the track and verify that no dirt or debris has accumulated in the zipper mechanism.
Static cling after drying
Air dry the garment instead of using a high-heat tumble dryer to reduce static electricity buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Academy Drill Top maintains its performance characteristics, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors.
- Detergent: Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking capabilities of the Dri-FIT material.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to preserve the shape and longevity of the fabric. If machine drying is necessary, use a low-heat setting.
- Ironing: Avoid ironing directly on logos or technical heat-transferred detailing to prevent melting.
