When you think about the sport of wrestling, one of the first images that likely comes to mind is the singlet. This one-piece wrestling uniform is what we have grown accustomed to seeing during wrestling matches. Whether you love them or hate them, singlets are what you will typically see these athletes wearing. However, this was not always the case. To help you get a better understanding of how we have gotten to today’s gear, let’s dive into the evolution of the wrestling uniform.

So, you’ve decided to join the wrestling team and you’re anticipating your first practice? You may be wondering what to expect on the first day of wrestling. Well, first, you might be surprised to hear that not a great deal of wrestling takes place on the first practice day, particularly at the school level. Instead, practice begins with serious amounts of exercise.

You might have your own ideas on the best age for kids to start wrestling. But generally, experts suggest that kids can start wrestling at around four or five years old. You’re probably thinking that seems quite young but not with a youth wrestling program.

As a parent, you might find that your kid is eager to explore the world of youth wrestling. A youth wrestling program can benefit children as it can help teach discipline, self-confidence and inner strength to overcome obstacles.

A new policy change will allow high school students competing in wrestling to wear a new type of uniform. An alternate uniform that is two pieces and consisting of compression shorts or shorts designed for wrestling and a compression shirt that is form fitted has now been approved for 2017 and 2018.
The two-piece uniform or the “doublet” will be an optional alternative to the more traditional single piece uniform called a singlet.
