Kids' training trousers

Force Plus, Premium One or Austin: three trousers for the field

The training trouser keeps your legs warm during warm-ups and static phases, then comes off for matches. The Force XV Force Plus, from a French rugby brand, is available in a training version for running and a jogging version for travelling. The Erima Premium One belongs to a full range of teamwear, allowing the club to match it with the jacket and shorts from the same line. The Austin from the Italian brand Errea comes in children's sizes, and the Giorgia features a cut designed for girls. All have adjustable elasticated waistbands.

Tapered bottoms or zip hems: run without hassle

For training, tapered trousers that narrow towards the ankle won't get caught in the studs and won't flap in the wind during runs. The zippered hems allow you to take off the trousers without removing your shoes, which is a real time saver when the coach starts the match. The material is just as important: a lightweight polyester fabric dries quickly after a downpour, while thick fleece becomes heavy when wet and is better suited for travel. Zippered pockets keep small items secure on the sideline, without the risk of losing them during warm-ups.

Leg length and care of children's jogging bottoms

A child's trouser is chosen according to the height indicated on the label, then you check the leg length: the hem should fall at the ankle without bunching up on the shoe. If between two sizes, go for the larger one and use the drawstring waistband to adjust it; the trouser will then accommodate growth spurts. After a muddy session, brush the knees when the dirt is dry, then wash at thirty degrees, inside out, with zips closed to avoid snagging other clothes. No fabric softener: it leaves a coating that hinders sweat removal.

Frequently asked questions

Training trouser or jogging: what's the difference?

The training trouser is more fitted and lightweight, designed for running and quick drying. The jogging trouser, often made of fleece, is warmer and looser: it's worn on the sidelines, while travelling, or at home, rarely during exercises.

At what temperature should you wear trousers for training?

There is no official threshold, but below ten degrees, many coaches recommend them for warm-ups. The child keeps them on during technical workshops and takes them off before contact and running phases.

Do girls' training trousers fit differently?

Girls' cuts, like the Errea Giorgia, are often a bit more fitted at the hips and waist. It's best to follow the brand's size chart and the child's height, trying them on if possible while wearing sports shoes.

Can you play in contact wearing training trousers?

It's best to avoid it: the fabric can be grabbed by opponents and can tear at the knees during tackles. In matches, the official kit consists of shorts, and trousers are reserved for warm-ups and the substitutes' bench.

How many training trousers should you have for winter?

One training trouser for sessions and a warmer jogging pair for travel cover most needs. With two training sessions a week, a second session trouser prevents the need to take home a still damp item.
