Junior High Wrestling: Essential Information!

 

When and Where?  Practices are held Monday thru Friday after school from 3 to 5:00 PM at the middle school.  There will be some Saturday and Holiday commitments.

 

What you will need!  Every day of practice you will need the following: Wrestling Shoes and Running Shoes, Wrestling Head Gear, and a CLEAN T-shirt and gym shorts (NO SCHOOL GYM Uniforms). Mouth Guards are only required if you wear braces (Must cover top and bottom, your orthodontist can give you one or amazon has them.)

Flying Feet on Mt Rose Ave is a great place to purchase your gear and you will get a team discount.  It is not necessary to buy expensive wrestling shoes, a pair of basic black Asics or Nikes are fine.  If purchasing equipment is a financial burden please contact one of the coaches.  (I don’t have the money or I can’t get a ride are not acceptable reasons not to wrestle!  If you want to wrestle the coaching staff, wrestling boosters and your teammates will see that you get the opportunity to wrestle, we are a brotherhood!)

 

What you need to do prior to the first day of practice in November  

 

• Get a sport physical!  If you received your physical earlier in the year, you must fill out a recertification form. You will not be permitted to practice without completing the proper forms via the Rankone website can be found on the CYSD website under Athletic Physical info.
