Sport Duffel Bag Ordering Guide — What Every Coach Should Know
Team sport duffel bag orders are straightforward but have a few specific considerations that prevent the most common program mistakes:
-
Order early for fall sports. August and September are peak school team bag season. Orders placed in July ship faster with more decoration options than orders placed in August when decorators are at full capacity.
-
Confirm two-tone color availability. Not every brand offers your specific school color two-tone combination. Call before ordering — we'll confirm the exact color combination is in stock before you commit.
-
Per-player name embroidery. Adding individual player names to duffel bags significantly increases team ownership and reduces lost bag incidents. Per-player embroidery is available from 12 bags with names pre-supplied in a simple spreadsheet.
-
Order 10% extra. Late roster additions and late-season player replacements are common. 10% extra bags in your most common size prevents a second order at full price.
