• Practice Schedule / Try Out Dates

    Begin November 4th 3:45-5:30. Any cuts will be made by the end of the first week of practice* (see below).

    Practice schedule will be determined after the first week, depending on the size of the team. Split practices may be necessary.

    Given the level of commitment needed to wrestle...

     All practices are mandatory once the season begins. 

    (This will include practices and tournaments over holiday breaks.)

     

     

    What do you need to wrestle?

    Wrestling shoes, clean practice gear (daily), headgear, and a mouthpiece (Top and Bottom) if you have braces. Kneepads and other gear may be purchased but are not required.

    All listed items need to purchased by the athlete.

     

    What will get you cut from the team??

    Unexcused absences from practice and matches.

    Disciplinary issues at school.

    Low grades.

    Low effort during practices.

    Continually disrupting practice.

    The use of any illegal substances (yes, including vaping).

    Physical and Digital violence of any kind, including "cyberbullying".

    Disrespecting your coaches, teammates, opponents, officials, and all other involved persons.

    Wrestling does not generally "cut" for lack of wrestling skill. In extreme situations, where the lack of prior experience creates a safety concern for an individual athlete, that athlete may be removed from the team. 

     

    December 7th Falcon Shootout

    Our first varsity tournament of the season is at home. We will have 11 teams visiting for a full day of wrestling.

    We will need volunteers and food donations for this event which typically runs from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. (I will discuss this event at the parent meeting.)

    This event covers much of the cost for our tournaments throughout the season.

     

    Wrestle Off’s

    Each wrestler will have the opportunity to wrestle off for the varsity spot on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, depending on competition schedule.

    Only 1 weight class challenge per week will be permitted.

    Attendance is mandatory to qualify.
