All I can say is my son is and will continue to wear them to cover his brace for the other kids safety. The Ishaa has pictures of my son in and wrestling in the very “sleeves” in question. I have also been given instruction on how to handle the situation if a ref makes the decision to not allow them and how to rectify that situation so that they will be able to. I’m just trying to help clarify for those of you that have kids or themselves that actually NEED to wear this

And you absolutely should. I however, am going to listen to the personal conversation I had with the assistant commissioner of boys wrestling for ishaa executive staff. Again, if you have questions, concerns, or need clarification I would encourage you to contact the ishaa. They were very helpful and easy to talk to. The white sleeve (which also comes in black) that was presented as illegal IS legal..how is that not misleading?

I think I can help clarify here. I just got off the phone with the ishaa. I was told that this ruling is not coming from them. The rules are as they have been and you CANNOT wear a FULL compression sleeve going from ankle to singlet or full compression pants. However, you can wear knee sleeves. I called for clarification because within these posts we were told we could wear sleeves 3-4 inches above\below the knee which happens to be the white sleeve in the pics which is being presented to us as illegal on this forum. The black sleeve pictured does indeed go to the ankle and above the thigh and therefore I assume illegal. I was told by the ishaa not to listen to anyone about this topic on this forum. Those of you worried about covering knee braces you should be good with a legal sleeve. If you have questions or concerns I would go straight to the source, and call the ishaa
