Your Colors. Your Mascot. Seen Before Your Team Is.
A custom pop up tent is a 5x5, 10x10, 10x15 or 10x20 canopy printed with your school logo, colors and mascot. The canopy is waterproof 600D polyester with full dye-sublimation printing. We accept official purchase orders from schools, districts and organizations, and delivery is typically 2 to 3 weeks.
Picture the next invitational. A dozen schools set up along the same fence, most of them under a plain canopy. One tent carries a school name, a mascot and colors you can read from the parking lot. Parents walk straight to it. Athletes from other teams notice it. Your kids know exactly where home base is. That is what a team tent is for.
Who Buys Custom Team Tents?
The person who orders a team tent is usually the person who wants the program to look like it means business. Most programs show up looking like everyone else. A printed tent is the difference people see before a single race, set or snap.
Athletic Directors
One tent that shows up for every sport: fall cross country, winter tournaments, spring track. It is the athletic department's flag, planted at every venue, and it goes through on a school PO.
Booster Clubs
Concessions, spirit wear, raffles, the membership table. A printed tent tells every parent in the stands who is raising money for the program, and makes the booth worth stopping at.
PTA and PTO
Field day, the fall festival, back-to-school night. Families find your table first because it carries the school name and mascot their kids already wear.
Coaches
A home base on meet day. Athletes know where to drop bags, refill water and regroup, and every visiting coach can see whose program it is.
Cheer and Spirit Squads
Your squad already looks the part in uniform. The tent behind them should too, at competitions, pep rallies and on the football sideline.
Businesses and Organizations
Trade show tents, festival booths, sponsor tents and brand events. The same printed 600D canopy, with your brand on the roof instead of a mascot.
Which Sports Use a Custom Team Tent?
Every season has its own version of the same scene: a long day outside, a crowd of schools and one team that is easy to find. Pick your sport.
Track & Field
Track meets run all day, and athletes spend more of it waiting than competing. A team tent gives them shade, a place to stretch and one spot the whole roster can find between events. Half walls keep the air moving and still carry your name.
Cross Country
Every XC meet has a tent city near the start line, and yours should be the one runners spot from the chute. A full back wall blocks the wind and hides the bag pile, then turns into the photo backdrop for PRs and senior day.
Football & Soccer Sidelines
The sideline is where your program is on display for the whole game, and the tent behind the bench is in every photo parents take. Football programs often run a 10x20 for the number of players and coaches. Soccer teams often use a 10x10.
Baseball & Softball
Doubleheaders and weekend tournaments mean long days at the complex. Put a tent beside the dugout for shade between innings, or make it the team base for gear, lunch and chalk talk. Open sides or half walls keep the airflow; full walls add privacy and security.
Cheer & Spirit
A cheer tent is a base camp at competitions, a shaded spot behind the cheer zone on the football sideline and a fundraising booth for bows and spirit wear. Full walls turn it into a warm-up room, and a printed wall becomes the backdrop for squad photos and senior night.
Concessions & Fundraisers
Concession stands, snack bars, spirit wear and raffles. Ask for the Food Vendor package on the 10x10, 10x15 or 10x20 in your quote. Half walls and rail skirts keep the booth open to customers and add room for sponsor logos.
What Size Tent Does Your Team Need?
Most teams start with a 10x10. Go bigger for a big roster, a booster table alongside the team area or more than one team under one roof. Every order is priced by quote, because the price depends on your frame, walls and quantity.
Custom 10x10 Tent
The most common size for sports teams. 100 square feet with room for a team to rest, store gear and sit.
Custom 10x15 Tent
More room for larger teams, extra equipment or a table setup alongside the team area.
Custom 10x20 Tent
A base of operations for big rosters or more than one team, with space for tables, chairs and gear.
Custom Inflatable Air Tent
A 10x10 tent with an inflatable frame instead of metal legs, printed with your design.

How Does School Ordering Work?
Which Frame and Walls Should We Get?
Every tent starts with a frame quality: Good, Better or Best. Frames are aluminum or steel with telespring adjustable legs and reinforced footplates, and your quote confirms the exact frame specifications. The canopy is waterproof 600D polyester with full dye-sublimation printing.
Walls are where a tent goes from shade to a statement. Choose from four wall types:
Wall Without Door
A full printed wall. Blocks wind and rain, hides the gear and makes the team photo backdrop.
Rail Skirt / Half Wall
Waist high. Shows your name while keeping the tent open to airflow and foot traffic. The go-to for merch and concession tables.
Wall With Window
A full wall with a window, for coverage without closing the tent in.
Solid Color Wall
A wall in a single solid color instead of a full print.
Custom Team Tent FAQ
Do you accept school purchase orders?
Yes. We accept official Purchase Orders from schools, districts, and organizations. Request a quote first, and your PO is placed against the confirmed quote.
How long does a custom tent take?
Production is 7 to 10 business days, and total delivery time is typically 2 to 3 weeks. Work back from your first meet or game and allow 3 weeks.
What size tent does a track or cross country team need?
Most teams start with a 10x10, the most common size for sports teams, with room to rest, store gear and sit. Larger rosters, or a booster table alongside the team area, move up to a 10x15 or 10x20. A 5x5 works as a coach station or check-in table.
Which walls should we get?
It depends on the job. Half walls and rail skirts keep the airflow and show your name, which suits meet days and merch tables. Full walls block wind and rain and make a printed photo backdrop. A common setup for track and cross country is a full back wall with the sides open.
How do we keep the tent down in wind?
Anchor every leg. On grass, drive heavy-duty stakes at a 45-degree angle through the footplates. On pavement or a track, use sandbags, water bags or weights. Add tie-downs, watch the forecast, and take the tent down if winds get above about 30 mph.
Can we return a custom tent?
No. Custom tents are printed for your program, so they are non-returnable. That is why your artwork, colors and specifications are confirmed with our team in the quote before anything is printed.
