Rules
We will cover specific USA Wrestling mandated rules in detail during the first week of practice. In terms of team rules there are but a few:
1. Be respectful of the coaches and your fellow wrestlers
2. Always wear your headgear while wrestling
3. If you have ANY type of skin infection, ensure you see a physician and get the USA Wrestling Skin Form filled out (it's available to download and printout on this site).
4. Wear light, breathable workout clothing. No zippers or denim. Bring running shoes. If you don't have wrestling shoes yet you can practice in socks until you get them. We have extra headgear should you forget yours.
5. Work hard in school! Our coaches are all parents as well - our kids don't practice/wrestle should they bring home bad grades - it's a parental call but we definitely support parents should they wish to drive home this lesson. Wrestlers have to be smart (everyone else plays basketball! :)
6. Kids must compete against a minimum of 2 wrestlers in our District to be seeded at the District tournament. The tournament can be anywhere, however the wrestler must be from our district.
