It is recommended that athletes with braces wear mouth guards. Athletes are required to wear white, black or no socks.

Any wrestler wearing a modified singlet will not be allowed to enter the weigh-in area. Guidelines for the two-piece uniforms are as follows: wrestlers can wear compression or board shorts with a substantial elastic waistband and a tight fitting sleeveless, or short sleeve shirt. The shorts shall not be excessively baggy, have pockets, buttons, draw strings or snaps. A suitable compression undergarment must be worn under the shorts. If the athlete chooses to wear a two-piece uniform to weigh-ins, the athlete must weigh-in with the complete two-piece uniform. There is no weight allowance for the singlet or uniform. Athletes, please be aware that the two piece uniform is currently not legal at USAW regional and national Freestyle and Greco competitions. Weigh-ins: All athletes must weigh in. Greco-Roman weigh-ins will take place on Saturday morning beginning at 8:00am and shall conclude at 8:30am. Freestyle weigh-ins will take place on Sunday morning beginning at 8:00am and shall conclude at 8:30am. An athlete competing in both styles of the Junior division may weigh in once for both styles but can choose to weigh-in for each individual style. This is contingent on the athlete actively competing in the first one of two wrestling styles scheduled. Athletes must weigh-in wearing a COMPETITION SINGLET (Modified singlets will not be allowed for weigh-ins). No weight allowance will be given. Pairings: Random draw with use of pools if necessary.
