Everything your wrestler needs on the mat — for everyday training and for competition day. Keep it simple, keep it safe, and you're ready to go.
For normal training sessions, wrestlers should wear:
Track pants or leggings. No jeans on the mat.
Simple, close-fitting, nothing that can catch or snag.
Worn on the mat only — keep them off the rest of the floor.
Avoid
All jewellery and accessories must be removed before training starts:
Simple, safe clothing and equipment help prevent injuries — and don't forget a water bottle filled with water.
On competition day, wrestlers must bring:
Laced up and ready for weigh-in through to the final match.
One red, one blue.
For between matches and after weigh-in.
See-through bottle, water only.
To keep energy levels up through a long competition day.
No jewellery, watches, or sharp objects are allowed once weigh-ins begin.
Here's how the day usually unfolds, from arrival to the wrestler's next match.
Get there early in the morning with short nails, dressed in wrestling kit.
Stand in the weigh-in rows in your wrestling costume when called.
Wait to be called, then go through the medical check.
Once medical is done, put on wrestling shoes and get ready to wrestle.
Follow match times on the ETMS website, or use the Wrestling Bot on WhatsApp to see when your wrestler is up next.
Aim to be at the mat 3–5 matches before your wrestler's bout. Bring the clear water bottle along in case he needs water during the match.
