WRESTLING SHOES:
All youth wrestlers will need to have their own pair of wrestling shoes at some point this season. If you don't have them the first few practices, no big deal, but you will want to get a pair as soon as possible. Wrestling shoes may run in a different size compared to regular shoes. You may want to try on a pair before buying online.
We suggest going with a less expensive pair, as they grow out of them quickly at this age. However, this is personal preference and the more expensive ones do usually hold up better. If you have a wrestler that has grown out of his/her shoes, we are always accepting donations of used shoes for future wrestlers!

WRESTLING HEADGEAR:
Headgear is MANDATORY if you are competing in the USA Wrestling tournaments. They are also good for practice.
Cliff Keen Tornado Youth for the younger kids is a good option.
Older boys have more options.
