Is wrestling safe?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

Why is hygiene important in wrestling?

Accepted Answer

Hygiene is a major part of staying healthy and safe in wrestling. Because the sport involves close contact and shared mats, proper hygiene helps prevent skin infections and keeps both wrestlers and teammates protected. Athletes should shower as soon as possible after practice or competition, wear clean practice clothes each day, and keep their wrestling shoes, headgear, and gear bags clean. Coaches also sanitize mats regularly, but consistent personal hygiene is the wrestler’s responsibility. Good habits keep everyone healthy and allow athletes to train and compete without unnecessary interruptions.

Question 4

What gear do I need to for wrestling?

For practice, wrestlers should bring comfortable athletic clothes, proper wrestling shoes, and a water bottle.  For tournaments, athletes must have wrestling shoes, a water bottle, wrestling headgear, and the team-issued warm-up shirt and singlet.
