Gear - What will I need for Wrestling practice ?

  • Shoes

They are available at any good sporting goods. Big 5, 3GI.  There are also are plenty of outlets for wrestling equipment on line. More on wrestling Shoes...

  • Support

You will need a jock strap or tight fitting briefs. BOXERS WILL NOT DUE.

  • Water Bottle

Make sure you have your own water bottle. The coach is not a big fan of leaving the room to go and get a drink of water. Make it a quart size at least. There was one wrestler who kept a gallon bottle with him.

  • Knee Pads

You may want to purchase one or two knee pads (keep it simple. There are some wild knee pads out there).

  • Head Gear

You will be issued head gear, but you may want to purchase your own. Coach suggests that you wait until after the season starts and get opinions from other wrestlers as to which brand of head gear to buy.

  • Tshirts, shorts and sweats

Keep a few t shirts and shorts in your locker so that you have more than one on hand. They get sweaty quick. Second hand stores have t shirts for $.99.

  • Team Singlet, Sweatshirt, T-shirt

You will be issued a team Singlet, Sweatshirt and T-shirt.
