Quick question since we have some girls on our wrestling team. Do they HAVE to wear headgear that has the hair over attached to it this year. Wanting to know now so we can tell them that they have to buy special headgear. Not only for girls but also for boys that have long hair. Thanks

The hair cover does HAVE to attach to the headgear. It's more of a buy new hair cover not headgear. Blue Chip and Amazon have them in stock usually.

But are tournaments going to follow this rule. Or is it going to be like the no tape on the headgear rule that is written but not followed.

Technically, according to USAWKS by-laws and the modifications stated within:

Rule 4-1-1 The legality of all uniforms will be up to the referee, and need not conform to the NFSHSA rule.

Thus if the referee is okay with it not being attached then it could be permitted. I would say however that as an organization it is important that everyone follow that same basic standards and we do try to follow NFHS rules as closely as possible, so I would tell your families that if they are in a situation where they need a hair covering then they should purchase one that now conforms to the NFHS rules regarding such hair coverings.
