Suggested Shoes and Headgear
As in year’s passed wrestlers must provide their own shoes and headgear. This year Coach Vogel can get a bulk discount on the wrestling shoes pictured below. They are Nike Inflict Wrestling shoes. They are $75 shoes but if 20 kids order them they drop down to $56. Please check in with Coach if you’d like to order the Nike Inflict shoes. If you do not purchase the Inflict Shoes please wear black wrestling shoes.
In addition there is a specially designed headgear. This is not mandatory headgear but we wanted to let you know it is available. Please see Coach regarding order details if you’re interested in purchasing the custom headgear pictured below. The company making this is Crossface Graphics.
