Soccer Shorts Frequently Asked Questions

How to choose soccer shorts?

Go for lightweight, breathable materials like polyester or polyester blends. These fabrics wick away sweat during intense matches. Lighter fabrics might be ideal for hot weather, but slightly heavier fabrics with a bit of nylon or spandex can offer more durability for frequent play. Your soccer shorts should allow for a full range of motion without being too baggy or too restrictive. You should be able to comfortably jump, sprint and change directions. Traditionally, soccer shorts fall above the knee. However, personal preference plays a role. Choose a length that feels comfortable and adheres to any league regulations.

How tight should soccer shorts be?

Soccer shorts should feel supportive and close-fitting, like a comfy pair of leggings, but not so tight that they restrict your movement or leave you feeling squeezed. You should be able to move freely, jump, kick and dive without anything bunching or getting pulled out of place. The waistband should sit comfortably on your hips and stay put throughout the game or practice. An elastic waistband with a drawcord allows for adjustability to find that perfect snug fit.

How long are soccer shorts?

Soccer shorts generally fall above the knee. However, there can be some variation depending on your preference and local league regulations. A length just above the knee is the most popular length, offering a good balance of mobility, comfort and protection. Some attackers or players with a fast-paced playing style prefer shorts that land a few inches above the knee, allowing for maximum range of motion. Longer shorts are less common but can be a good choice for cooler weather conditions or for players who prefer a bit more coverage.
