What Size Soccer Jersey for a 10-Year-Old?

A 10-year-old usually wears a Youth M or Youth L. A chest measuring 30 to 32 inches with a height of 52 to 56 inches fits Youth M, while 32 to 34 inches and 56 to 60 inches fits Youth L. Kids this age grow in bursts, so measure right before you choose and compare to our Kids Soccer Jersey Sizing Guide.

The Growth Spurt Factor

Ten is prime growth-spurt territory. A jersey that fits perfectly in August can be snug by November. If your child is between sizes or trending tall, leaning toward Youth L often buys you a full season of comfortable wear. Measure chest and height using our quick measuring method, then check our take on sizing up in youth soccer jerseys for the borderline decision.

Fit Gets More Opinionated at 10

By age 10, kids start caring how their jersey looks. Some want the snug athletic look like the pros, others want room to move. Both are fine as long as the shoulders sit right and the hem stays put. If they keep tugging the jersey down during games, it is too short or too tight. How a kids soccer jersey should fit and how long a kids soccer jersey should be cover the details they care about.

Let your 10-year-old pick a favorite from our Kids Jerseys collection. Growth spurts at this age can be sudden, so when in doubt between sizes, the roomier option keeps them comfortable all season. If the size still feels like a coin flip, contact us for a quick second opinion.
