Almost every athletic skirt sold today is really a skort — and the part that decides whether it works is the liner underneath, not the hem on top. Axis Sportswear is a cut & sew custom athletic skirts and skorts manufacturer producing tennis, padel, netball, golf, field hockey, running and athleisure styles for activewear brands, clubs, schools and retailers across the USA, UK and Europe.
Everything is made to your spec — the skirt length, the liner inseam, the pleat type, the waistband height, the ball pocket layout and the anti-ride finish. Nothing comes off a shelf and gets re-labelled. Minimums start at 50 pieces per style, tech pack development is free, and your first sample ships in 7–10 days.
Three things decide whether a skort gets reordered or returned: the liner, the length, and whether it rides up. We settle all three at pattern stage.
Send a tech pack, a sketch, a competitor garment, or just your colours and a reference photo. Our design team returns a production-ready spec with skirt length, pleat sequence, liner type and inseam, waistband height, pocket placement and every logo position marked. Free with every order, and you approve it before sampling starts.
This is the whole garment. An attached compression liner in poly-spandex is the standard for tennis, padel and running — it stays put and it’s what customers now expect. A built-in brief is lighter and cooler for hot-climate and school use. A looser inner short suits golf and athleisure where compression isn’t wanted. And an unlined skirt still has a market in netball and cheer, where a separate brief is worn. Pick wrong and the garment fails regardless of how good the outer looks.
Order one style or a full range. Everything below can run in the same fabric and colorway in a single production batch, so your collection matches across sports.
Pleated or A-line outer over an attached compression liner, with ball pockets sized to hold a tennis ball without bouncing — either in the liner side seams or as a waistband pocket. The pocket is the detail that separates a real tennis skort from a fashion skirt with a liner, and it's the first thing a tennis buyer checks.
Shorter, closer-fitting builds with a deeper liner pocket for the smaller padel ball, in bright colourways and bold prints. Padel is the fastest-growing racquet sport in Spain, Italy, Sweden and the UK, and almost no manufacturer addresses it as a separate category.
Mid-length skorts with a relaxed liner and generous pockets sized for a pickleball, built in a softer hand for a broader age range. The fastest-growing sport in the USA and a category most factories still lump in with tennis.
Two fabrics go into every skort — the outer and the liner — and they do completely different jobs. Here’s our range with real figures so you can spec both properly. Ask for a physical swatch pack before committing to a season buy.
Finishes available: moisture-wicking treatment · anti-odour finish · UPF 50+ for outdoor court sports · four-way stretch · silicone gripper tape · anti-pill treatment · custom dyeing for exact colour matching.
A new activewear label testing one style and a school supplier kitting out forty institutions have completely different problems, and one rigid minimum serves neither. We scale to the order in front of us, and because we are the factory there’s no trading house margin between you and the price.
50 pieces per style and colourway, with sizes mixed freely inside that quantity — girls' through adult 3XL in one order.
Per-unit cost drops at 200, 500, 1,000 and 2,500 units. Multi-style and multi-sport orders are quoted as a single volume even when the designs differ.
Combine skorts with leggings, tanks or tees in one production run and share the setup and freight cost across the whole order instead of paying it three times over. See our women's leggings.
Nothing that leaves our floor carries our name. Whether you’re an activewear brand or a club running a shop, the order arrives ready for your shelf or your fulfilment centre.
For EU-bound orders, we supply fiber composition labeling in the required languages, REACH-compliant trim declarations, and OEKO-TEX certified fabric options on request. Ask for the documentation pack at the quotation stage rather than at the border. More on our private label service.
A new label testing one skort before committing to a full size run, a tennis club ordering summer kit, and a school supplier serving forty institutions are three different jobs, and one rigid minimum serves none of them. Start at 50 pieces to validate a style with your customers, come back at 500 once it sells through, and move to scheduled seasonal production when your forecast becomes predictable. Because your patterns stay on file, every reorder skips development and goes straight into production.
No surprises, no middlemen, no guessing about where your order is. Here’s exactly how we work.
Quick, clear response to your inquiry. Reach out and our team replies within 24 hours with the right questions and next steps.
We learn your colors, logo, fabric preference, sizing and deadline, then build a print-ready mockup.
You get clear, quantity-based pricing up front — no hidden costs.
We produce a sample for you to review and approve before the full run. We match your exact Pantone/hex colors at this stage.
Once you approve, we manufacture your order and align delivery to your season or event deadline.
Every piece is inspected, then finished with your brand label and packaging.
Your order ships sorted and labeled, with tracking — and we follow up to make sure you’re happy.
Stretch fabric and pleats both limit what decoration will work. Here’s what holds — see all our printing methods.
All-over prints, colour blocking and gradients bonded into polyester with no added weight and no effect on stretch. The right method for team striping, bold prints and anything covering a large area. Works only on light base fabrics.
Thin, stretchy and soft-handed. Correct for small logos on waistbands and hems where embroidery would pucker a stretch knit or restrict recovery.
Premium and durable for school crests, club badges and logos — but only on woven and stable knit fabrics. On a high-stretch skort outer, embroidery locks the fabric and creates a stiff patch that distorts the fit, so we'll steer you to a transfer instead and explain why.
Cost-effective for bold logos on higher volume runs, on woven and stable knit outers.
Retro-reflective transfers at the hem and waistband for running and trail skorts used in low light.
Cut fabric lettering and contrast panels revealed inside a pleat — the classic cheer and netball treatment, and a design feature no printing method can replicate.
Tell us the sport, the liner you want, your colors, and your quantity. We’ll come back within 24 hours with fabric recommendations, a mockup direction, and clear pricing.
