What to wear:
To Practice:
Wrestlers should come to practice in shorts, their club practice t-shirt, and wrestling shoes with socks.

• Shorts should not be longer than knee length, and can not have pockets, snaps, or buckles.
• All wrestlers signed up by September 4th will receive a free Laveen practice T-shirt as long as supplies last; this T should be worn to practice. Don't want to do laundry all the time? Extra T's can be purchased for $10.
• Long hair should be pulled back and secured in a braid or pony tail.
• No jewelry allowed.
• No street shoes are allowed on the mat. Wrestling shoes must be worn. LWC runs a free used shoe program. If you would like to borrow shoes for your child please contact Veronica ASAP @ 602-677-1980 as sizes and quantity are limited. Wrestling shoes can be purchased at Dick's Sporting Goods or at an online retailer.

To Compete:

• Singlet: Wrestlers must wear a singlet to compete. LWC Coaches prefer all Laveen wrestlers compete in a Laveen club singlet as it makes them easier to identify mat side. Singlets can be ordered on this website under the 'store' tab. LWC has used singlets that are loaned out to wrestlers free of charge, however, sizes are limited and they go fast. Singlet orders are placed on September 12th and come in mid to late October. Missed the order deadline? You can still place an order, but the $10 shipping charge the manufacturer charges will be passed on to you.
• Headgear: Some middle school and all high school tournaments require the use of headgear. Wrestlers can wear headgear at practice, but it usually blocks what they can hear and if it slips it becomes too much of a distraction.
• Mouth guards: All wrestlers with braces should wear mouth guards to practice, and must wear them in order to compete at tournaments.
• Wrestling shoes must be worn at all tournaments in order to compete.
