DD's team (10U) has two pair of pants and one pair of shorts. Personally, I prefer the pants. We have only wore shorts once and it was 94 degrees and high humidity. Girls still slid on close plays and DD was proud of her "raspberry". I love it when she's tough!

By the time the girls put on sliding pads, socks and slider shorts with the shorts, they're much cooler in the pants.

Check out Intensity brand pants if you go that route. Great quality!

As a matter of fact, they are a 10U team. ;-)
They range in age from 8-11, but my DD is one of the 11s. I think I'm going to put some real shorts in the car and make her change into those next time.
I can't speak for other girls but my kid wouldn't think of wearing a slider with out drawers underneath. Does that make them more like shorts?

Now, that's probably a tough team if all the players are wearing drawers!

They're no different then bike shorts, really, but that said, players need to remember that they represent their team at all times when they are at a tournament. They should practice respect and dignity when in uniform and while participating in their teams activities. More college scholarships are lost in the bathroom of tournaments then on the field. While I realize this is just a 10u team, the same principles apply.

Yes, i thought about the bike shorts, but I am not seeing men and women wear them as an outfit. They are either on the bike or in at the Quickie Mart.
Sliding pants started out as compression shorts, like MLB players wear. Then, they added the sliding pads. Some coaches don't even like for them to be longer than the player's shorts.
What about a sport's bra and no shirt? Is it different than a swim suit top? (I am glad my kids are raised.)
