Important Notes
- Normally wrestlers are required to use singlets or fight shorts & shirt with the standard DYS Thunder design for all competitions. However, because uniforms will not be available until Mid December, wrestlers can wear shorts (no pockets) and t-shirt unitl the uniforms come in.
- Head gear is required
- Wrestling shoes are required
- Mouth guards are required when braces are evident
- Please put the athlete's name on shoes and headgear - kids leave them in the room all the time
Mandatory DYS Uniforms
- Uniforms are a separate purchase and not included in registration fees.
- Parents purchase uniforms directly with the vendor online at Cheers Sports.
- Uniform ordering notes:
- DYS parents only need to buy one type of uniform (singlet or fight gear)
- Sizes for singlets are based on wrestler's weight. If your child is within 5 pounds of the next size, we recommend purchase of the next larger size.
- Sizes for fight gear are based on waist and body measurments.
- If there is any doubt on whether or not uniforms will fit, then we suggest you purchase one-piece singlets because they stretch more than the two-piece fight gear.
