FAQs
What material are the Nike Academy Shorts made of?
They are constructed from 100% high-quality polyester, which is lightweight and moisture-wicking.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are made of synthetic, quick-drying material, they are designed as training shorts for land sports and may not be suitable as dedicated swimwear.
Can the waistband be adjusted?
Yes, the shorts feature an elasticated waistband with an integrated drawcord for a secure, adjustable fit.
How should I wash them?
They are machine washable. We recommend washing in cold water and avoiding fabric softeners to keep the Dri-FIT technology working effectively.
Are these shorts only for football?
No, while they are optimized for football training, they are versatile enough for any high-activity sport, PE class, or general outdoor play.
Does this size fit all 9-10 year olds?
Size 9-10 is a general guideline; however, because children grow at different rates, we recommend using the adjustable drawcord to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord pulled into the waistband
Use a safety pin attached to one end of the cord to slowly guide it back through the waistband channel.
Fabric snagging
Avoid contact with sharp, rough surfaces; if a small pull occurs, do not cut it, as this may lead to a hole.
Moisture-wicking feels less effective
Wash the shorts without fabric softener to remove any residue that may be blocking the breathability of the polyester.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts are ready to wear immediately upon purchase. To ensure the longest possible lifespan for the garments, machine wash them in cool water with like colors. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the Dri-FIT technology. Air drying or tumble drying on a low heat setting is recommended to maintain the fabric's shape and performance. For the best fit, refer to the size guide to match the 9-10 years age range, ensuring the drawstring is tied comfortably before beginning vigorous exercise.
