Wrestling Gear

There are certain "must haves" for the sport of wrestling and many places to acquire said items.  One of the websites I have used over and over with very reliable results is www.suplay.com.  They seem to have VERY LOW prices on some pretty high quality gear.  Some of the deals you will find are simply last years items on closeout - items that were expensive last season!  So what does your wrestler need? 

First and foremost - SHOES.  Every wrestler has an opinion on shoes, but at www.suplay.com you can find good quality shoes for between $30-$50.  YOU DO NOT NEED EXPENSIVE SHOES to wrestle!  Please do not spend hundreds of dollars putting shoes on your wrestler!...it's just not necessary.

Second -  HEADGEAR.  When looking for headgear, please avoid ones with exposed hard plastic covering the ears.  I tend to view this type of headgear as a weapon as well as protection.

Optional - KNEE PADS.  These can prevent mat burns and aid in your wrestler learning takedowns and shots (they won't be timid and worrying about mat burn).

Also optional - MOUTHGUARD.  If your wrestler wears braces, this is a good investment.  Others feel more comfortable by having one, so it is up to the wrestler/parent whether one is worn.

Ringworm and other "cooties," as I like to call them, will keep your wrestler off of the mat for practice and competition faster than anything.  These types of skin conditions are infectious and can keep an entire team out of competition if not addressed and treated immediately.  The team will go through regular skin checks and questionable areas will be required to be cleared by a medical doctor (and proof provided) to keep the rest of the team out o jeopardy.  Simple prevention methods can go a VERY long way.  One of the easiest prevention methods is a shower immediately following practice/matches USING A DANDRUFF SHAMPOO AS A BODY WASH!!!!  Yes, use the shampoo for the entire body.  For more information, please check out the manual below from USA Wrestling.
