Women's Singlets

Women's Wrestling: The Fastest Growing Sport

Although men’s wrestling nationwide still vastly outnumbers women’s wrestling as a whole, it is becoming increasingly obvious that female wrestling has become the fastest growing sport in the U.S. As of 2015, the number of female high school wrestlers has exploded to nearly 12,000 from just over 800 in 1994. 28+ colleges now sponsor varsity women’s wrestling programs, most of which have over 30 members by their third year. These numbers are growing almost exponentially year after year. Some of the biggest hot spots for female wrestling are Alaska, California, Hawaii, Tenessee, Texas, and Washington with California having the highest number of participants. In the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, returning world champion Helen Maroulis brough home the United States' first Olympic Gold Medal for women's wrestling be defeating a 13 time world champion, Saori Yoshida of Japan. This marks a huge moment in history and a huge step in the right direction for female wrestling in the U.S.

WrestlingMart is located right in the middle of Southern California, where girls’ wrestling seems to double in size every year. In fact, many of the high school teams we work with have more girls than boys, some with as many as 60 female wrestlers on a single squad. We see ourselves as being centrally located in the heart of one of the fastest growing sports in the world, and strive to meet the growing demand with great quality gear and superior insight and product knowledge. Simply put – at WrestlingMart, we want to do everything in our power to support the growth of women’s wrestling. Many great wrestlers and coaches tell us that they believe that, in the face of so many men’s wrestling programs being dropped lately, women’s wrestling may be the saving grace for the entire sport.

When it comes to wrestling singlets, and wrestling gear as a whole, we have the unique advantage of receiving tons of real feedback from our in-store customers and wrestlers we talk to at tournaments and camps. Although it is a work in progress as this sport continues to grow, our goal is provide a comprehensive offering of the highest quality and most requested female wrestling gear and apparel, including singlets.

What the difference between male and female wrestling singlets? Not a whole lot, other than their shape, as you can surely imagine. The material used is generally the same, but they are generally cut to be slightly wider around the hips, and higher in the chest and armpit areas. Just like men’s singlets, we carry the full line of all varieties of women’s singlets. There are plain stock singlets, custom sewn, and custom sublimated singlets. Both stock and custom sewn singlets come with an option to screen print for most brands, such as Cliff Keen and Matman. With sublimated singlets becoming more and more popular, we are able to offer them in women’s cut from more even more of the top brands like Matman, Cliff keen, MyHouse, Adidas, ASICS, Matman, and our own WrestlingMart private label brand.
