Tryout to uniform, planned properly.
Enter your tryout and first competition dates and what the program needs. You'll get a readiness read, the phases an order moves through, and a checklist to work from — before anyone asks you for contact details.
Your season
No contact details needed. Nothing here is saved.
Readiness
Start planning now
Without a first event date we can't judge the window, so the honest answer is to start the conversation early. Add a date above for a sharper read.
This is planning guidance only. Production timing depends on what the program orders and is confirmed with you during consultation — never assumed here.
The phases
- 01
Concept & design
Direction, colors, logo assets and the pieces the program actually needs.
- 02
Roster & sizing
Confirm athlete counts and run a sizing plan so quantities are right the first time.
- 03
Approval & payment
Final designs signed off and the payment path settled — family-paid, program-paid or fundraised.
- 04
Production
The order moves into production once everything above is locked.
- 05
Delivery & reveal
Gear arrives and the program decides how the team sees it for the first time.
Your checklist
- Confirm the final roster and who orders what
- Gather colors, logo files and any program assets in usable formats
- Decide competition uniform direction — cut, panels, finish
- Run a sizing plan (samples or a size run) before quantities are locked
- Decide what the program covers and what families pay
- Agree the parent approval and payment process
- Choose the date the team should have gear in hand, then confirm timing with us
Why timing matters
The order isn't the first step.
Most of a teamwear timeline happens before production: agreeing direction, getting usable logo and color assets, confirming a roster, running sizing, and settling how the order gets paid for. Programs that leave those decisions until late in the process end up making them under pressure.
Working backwards from your first event — rather than forwards from tryouts — keeps the pieces the athletes actually wear at the center of the plan. Made4Motion confirms real dates with you during consultation, so this tool deliberately stops at planning guidance rather than promising a turnaround.

Planner questions
Straight answers.
- What does this planner do?
- It takes the dates and needs you enter and turns them into a readiness state, the planning phases an order moves through, and a checklist for your program. Everything is calculated in your browser and nothing is saved.
- Does it tell me exactly when my uniforms will arrive?
- No. Production timing depends on what the program orders, so we don't publish a fixed turnaround. The planner shows planning phases instead, and exact dates are confirmed with you during consultation.
- When should a program start planning?
- As early as the season allows. Design direction, roster and sizing, approvals and payment all happen before production begins, so the earlier those start, the less pressure sits on the end of the timeline.
- Can fundraising be part of the plan?
- Yes. Team Fund is live at fund.made4motion.store and lets a program raise money toward its gear plan before an order is confirmed. Results depend on the program.
