Wrestling
General Information
- Wrestling practice will begin Monday, October 20, 2025. Practice will run after school from 4:00 – 6:00 Monday-Thursday and 3:00 – 5:00. Please have your ride pick you up ON TIME.
- Prior to the first practice, all student-athletes must have a current physical to participate in any practices or matches. This form must be filled out by a physician and filed in the school office.
- Before the first practice, wrestlers must have paid a $50 athletic fee ($100 cap per student per year).
- The required paperwork should be completed through the Parent-Student Portal in Infinite Campus and is due by Friday, October 17. This online paperwork must be completed before the student-athlete will be allowed to practice, and both parent and student must sign all forms through the Portal.
- For practice, wrestlers will need gym shorts, a t-shirt, wrestling shoes (not provided), and headgear (provided). Mouthpieces are optional (not provided).
- Match attire consists of a singlet (provided), headgear, and wrestling shoes- NO EXCEPTIONS.
- To minimize the potential for injury, students may wrestle others within 2 weight classes of their weight at practice. Wrestlers will compete at their weight class or the next higher or lower weight class in matches.
- Wrestling team members should stay at the match until all wrestlers have competed. We are a TEAM and want everyone there to cheer for and support each other.
- To prevent skin conditions, students will need to have at least 2 changes of practice clothes that are washed frequently. Students will need to shower (at school or home) after being in contact with the mats.
- No horse-play or rough-housing will be tolerated at practice.
- Wrestlers are expected to attend every practice and work hard. The only way to improve is through effort and dedication.
- Student-athletes will have their grades checked every Monday during advisory to confirm academic eligibility. Ineligible athletes will not compete for that week. All athletes are expected to maintain passing grades in all classes.
Team Expectations
- All student-athletes must be academically eligible to participate. Any wrestler who has one or more D or F grades will have one week to improve that grade to a C or better in order to compete with the team. Grades will be checked weekly.
- All wrestlers must have a written note, signed by a parent/guardian, prior to the day of an arranged absence. If a wrestler leaves school due to an illness or is absent from school, please bring a note the following day.
- All wrestlers must attend a full day of school on the day of a match. Wrestlers may still participate if part of a school day is missed due to a scheduled appointment.
- Referrals or conduct detrimental to the team will result in suspension from matches and potential dismissal from the team.
- Wrestling teams have a large number of wrestlers with limited spots to wrestle. Only those who work hard, attend practice, achieve passing grades, and act appropriately in school will be competing in matches.
- Practice will be a safe instructional environment. Given the wrestler-to-coach ratio, inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.
- All wrestlers are expected to attend practice every day. Given the fact that wrestling is a highly technical sport, missing practice is not acceptable. The only way to become a skilled wrestler is to practice. All wrestlers are expected to attend practice every day.
