Competition singlets with under-briefs required for both girls and boys during competition and weigh-ins. Two-piece uniforms are also allowed (see below for guidelines on them). The use of headgear is highly encouraged, but not required for all divisions. It is recommended that athletes with braces wear mouth guards. Athletes are required to wear white, black, or no socks. Colored socks make it difficult for officials to identify the leg bands for correct scoring. Note: All athletes must weigh-in wearing a competition singlet. Any wrestler wearing a modified singlet will not be allowed to enter the weigh-in area.  

Guidelines for 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 and enters the weigh-in area, 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.
