Wrestling Rules

All youth wrestlers should adhere to these rules to help practice run smoothly.

Pre-Practice:

1. Go to the bathroom. No restroom breaks at practice.
2. Pack headgear, wrestling shoes, and water. Headgear and wrestling shoes must be worn at practice. Wrestling shoes should only be worn on the wrestling mat - NOT OUTDOORS - this keeps the mats clean.

At Practice:

1.  BE ON TIME . This means enough time to get your shoes on and be ready to go before practice starts.
2. RESPECT. We do not tease or bully others.
3. LISTEN. We cannot be repeating directions 3 & 4 times. When Coaches are talking - No one else is talking.
4. VISUALIZE. Picture yourself doing the moves the coaches are showing.
5. REPEAT. Repeat the moves the coaches show. Start slow.
6. PARTNER.  A wrestler is only as good as his drill partner, so be a good one.
7. HUSTLE. Many matches are won by out hustling your opponents and all matches are won by hustling in the wrestling practice room
8. NO Leaving the wrestling room without coaches permission.

After Practice:

1. Take a shower as soon as you get home
2. Treat any cuts or scrapes with medicine. Stop small problems from becoming big ones.
3. Any skin rashes should be reported to the coaches immediately.
4. Check and cut your nails.

Tournament Day:

1. Pack headgear, wrestling shoes, and water. Wear your team swag gear "Team Shirt"
2. Get your wrestling shoes after you weigh-in or check-in.
3. Drill your moves during warm-up time.
4. Warm-up before every wrestling match
5. Wrestle hard - HUSTLE
6. Never quit - many wrestlers have come back and won.
7. Listen to your coaches.
