My boyfriend wrestled. He wore boxer-briefs. Don’t wear boxers. If they show out of the bottom of your spandex the ref might take away a team point. Boxers also don’t hold the man parts in place as well. P.S. Don’t go commando like some are…

wrestling uniform name?

Q: wondering what the technical name for the uniforms hi-schl wrestlers wear, i call them men-leotards, but thats just me. whats the technical name for them? also, is it common to have a girl on the wrestling team in hi-school? just wondering because i was at a quad and there were two guys on my team that had to wrestle chicks, and it kindof freaked me out! they werent from the same school, but it confused me. also, in hi-schl wrestling, if you started wrestling during your sophmore year, would you be on the jv team?

A: 1. theyre called jump suits2. personally i think its weird and kinda nasty for a girl to be on the wrestling team but it is not un common. probably every high school has atleast one girl who is on the wrestling team, and if not, more or a girl who wants to but cant.3. at the 3 highschools ive been to in the past 2 years, there no JV or varisty, it just ranks but your weight class. so if someone starts wrestling at 10th grade, they will get seriously hurt and loose all pride iin themselves. hahah sad and mean, but very true.
