Quick Answer<\/p>

Youth wrestling singlets are one piece stretch uniforms sized by chest measurement or body weight, not by age. For youth folkstyle under USA Wrestling, a singlet or a two piece wrestling uniform is legal. Headgear is recommended but not required, and the wrestler weighs in wearing the singlet. At USA Wrestling freestyle and Greco regional and national championships, males wear a high cut singlet and females a women's cut singlet. Low cut and two piece uniforms are not allowed there. The singlet must be red, blue, or in the United World Wrestling band scheme. Hamco's published 2026 price for a custom sublimated singlet is $54.99 at 1 to 24 pieces. That price is the same in every size from youth small to adult 4XL. Names, numbers, logo, and shipping are included. Other published prices run from $25 for a stock singlet on sale to $76 for a single custom singlet. Cliff Keen's custom sublimated singlets run $84.50 to $98.50 with a 6 piece minimum. Buy the size that fits today, not the size the child will grow into.<\/p><\/div>\n

A first year wrestling parent gets a list from the coach: singlet, shoes, headgear, and a mouthguard if the kid has braces. The list does not say which items the rules require or what size to buy for a 58 pound eight year old. It does not explain why one youth singlet costs $25 and another costs $87.50. This guide answers those questions with the rule book and the price pages open. Everything we make for young wrestlers, from kids wrestling singlets to compression shorts, is on our custom wrestling singlets<\/a> page. Every Hamco figure below comes from a product page you can check.<\/p>\n

Two things up front. First, this is a youth guide. It covers kids' club programs and middle school teams that wrestle under USA Wrestling rules. It also covers what changes when a wrestler reaches a high school program under NFHS rules. Second, we sell singlets, so we compare our published prices with Matman and Cliff Keen and say where each one wins.
