Wrestling Groin Protection

Wrestling is hips, knees and scrambles. If you've skipped a cup because it shifted or dug in, this is built to fix that. Diamond MMA pairs our polycarbonate athletic cup with a shift-proof quad strap jock that keeps it flat and centered through shots and mat work. Adult and youth sizes.

Rules

Can you wear a cup for wrestling?

Rules for competition vary by league and state association, so check yours before a match. For practice and drilling, the Compression Jock Short goes on under your practice shorts like any other compression short.

Youth players

Which cup size for a younger player?

Pick the cup by fit, not age. It should cover everything and sit flat without pinching at the edges. Most players move from the youth cup to the adult cup around ages 14 to 15, depending on body type.

How the quad strap design holds the cup

Watch how the four straps keep the cup flat and centered when the hips move.

  • Where the four straps sit
  • How the cup pocket pulls tight
  • The cup staying put through real movement

How it works

Why does the cup stay put?

Shift-proof quad strap design

Four straps pull the cup pocket tight from four directions, so the cup stays flat through shots, sprawls and scrambles.

Tailor-fit cup pocket

Cut to fit the Diamond MMA cup, with no extra room for it to slide when you hit the mat.

Polycarbonate athletic cup

A polycarbonate shell with a soft rubber elastomer rim. The shape helps deflect and spread the force of a knee.

Questions

Wrestling cup FAQ

Can I wear a cup for wrestling?

Rules for competition vary by league and state association, so check yours. For practice and drilling, the Compression Jock Short and Quad Strap Jock go under your practice shorts.

What should I wear under the Quad Strap Jock?

The Sports Boxer Brief. It goes under the Quad Strap Jock as an everyday base layer, with a flyless pouch and a no-roll waistband. It doesn't have a cup pocket, since the cup sits in the jock.

Will it shift during scrambles?

Four straps pull the cup pocket tight from four directions, so the cup stays flat and centered through shots, sprawls and scrambles.

What size cup for a youth wrestler?

The youth cup is 5.5" long, 3" wide and 2" deep. Most wrestlers move to the adult cup around ages 14 to 15. Size the jock by waist using the size chart.

What should I wear without a cup?

The Compression Brief. It's a compression short with a built-in brief, so it gives support on the mat without a cup. The Sports Boxer Brief and Performance Short With Built In Brief are other no-cup options. None of them has a cup pocket.

Can I pay with my HSA or FSA?

Yes. Every Diamond MMA jock, adult cup and System is HSA/FSA eligible, including the youth Systems. Choose Flex at checkout.
