HOW TO MEASURE
The goal of measuring is to determine the correct size to order for each athlete. Accurate measurements are vital to the proper fit of your
athlete’s apparel. Please make sure that all athletes are wearing fitted workout apparel during the measuring session.
1. Chest Measurement: Measure the chest
of the athlete while their arms are
down at their sides and at the fullest
part of the chest. Your measuring
tape should always be parallel to the
floor while taking the measurement.
2. Waist Measurement: When measuring
the waist, wrap the tape at the natural
waistline which is the narrowest part
of the waist. If you are having trouble
locating the natural waist, have the
athlete bend to the side. The natural
waist is where the body bends. Again,
the measuring tape should always be
parallel to the floor while taking the
measurement.
3. Hip Measurement: Take the hip
measurement at the fullest part
of the buttocks with the athlete’s
feet together. Ensure that the tape
measure is parallel to the floor.
4. Torso Measurement: Take the torso
measurement from the center of the
shoulder, down the torso, through
legs, and back to the shoulder. This is
the most important measurement.
5. Inseam Measurement: The length of
the leg from the crotch to one inch
above the floor.
Measure the athlete without shoes.
