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 2021, 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.
Black Room (K- 2nd Grade) athletes practice once per week and do not compete in the weekend tournaments. They are not required to have a uniform.
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 either singlets or fight gear 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.
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.
