FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for sports other than football?
Yes, their breathable and lightweight design makes them ideal for various athletic activities, including running, gym class, or general outdoor play.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the provided generic sizing (XS to XL) and the specific children's UK sizing (7-8 or 9-10) to find the best match for the wearer's stature.
Does the fabric stretch?
The polyester material offers a natural range of movement suitable for athletics, though it is not a heavy compression garment.
Can these be tumble dried?
While air drying is recommended to maintain fabric integrity, they can be tumble dried on a low heat setting if necessary.
Are there pockets on these shorts?
The Nike Academy Shorts are designed primarily for performance and agility, typically focusing on a minimalist construction without pockets to keep weight at a minimum.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord has retracted into the waistband
Use a safety pin attached to one end of the cord to carefully feed it back through the channel from the outside.
Shorts feel damp after light activity
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners in the wash, as they coat the fibers and prevent the Dri-FIT technology from wicking moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Academy Shorts, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colours to prevent fading.
- Detergents: Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can break down the moisture-wicking properties of the Dri-FIT technology.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible; if you must use a machine, select a low-heat tumble dry setting.
- Ironing: Avoid ironing the fabric directly, as high heat can damage the synthetic polyester fibers.
- Fit: These shorts feature a regular fit. Consult the size guide to ensure the correct length and waist circumference for your specific age group and size requirements.
