Founded in 1994 by Jane Elizabeth Lazarz, In-Between Sportwear, Inc. located in Huntington Beach, California has become the benchmark for quality in the tennis activewear apparel market. The company’s trademark design The Original CourtShorties™ was the first successfully marketed tennis ‘Shortie’ and has become the industry standard.

The Original CourtShorties™ was created and a new trend in ladies tennis apparel began as seen on just about every tennis court today.
With the help and support of Jane’s sister Barbara Dudek and brother in law Fred Dudek (since retired from the company) and present business partner and Vice-President Mark Mathis, In-Between Sportwear made its debut at the (Southern) California Association of Sports Apparel ‘CASA’ trade show in September 1994.
FYI…the name of the company ‘In-Between’ came from an idea Jane had for booth positioning at their very first trade show. Head and Tail Sportswear were two of the leading brands of tenniswear back in 1994, so Jane thought it would be advantageous for the exhibit booth to be located…‘in between’ these two brands, hence the name In-Between Sportwear. |
