Shoes, Team Gear & Competition Uniforms

• Shoes: You’re encouraged to purchase a pair of wrestling shoes. No other shoes are allowed on the wrestling mats. If you cannot purchase a pair, kids are okay to practice in their socks. If you plan on competing at tournaments, then having your own pair of wrestling shoes is highly recommended.

• Team Gear: Athletes will have the option to purchase a club wrestling t-shirt and additional team gear when the store link is provided

• Competition Uniforms: We will offer a singlet, fight shorts and a rashguard bundle for our team competition uniforms. This will be available through our team gear store when it is open. This is optional and not requited in order to compete. Athletes can compete in shorts and a t-shirt if they do not want to purchase our competition uniform.

• Practice Clothes: Athletes should wear clean shorts or sweats and a t-shirt to practice.
