On days that school gets out early, we have practice early at 1-3pm.Bring shorts, T shirt, wrestling shoes, big water bottle. Coach likes kids to stay in the room and not be running out to fill up their bottle every few minutes.
Practices are every day during the season. No practice on Thanksgiving, Christmas, New years day, Sundays, days that we have a tournament or a match. 8:30-10:30 AM for Saturday practices.
We do practice on the day after Thanksgiving, the day after Christmans, winter vacation days, etc. Winter vaction practices are in fact a very important part of the wrestling year. A lot of the years hard work and growth happens during late December.
New Wrestlers - It's not too late...

Wrestling is a fun, no cut, individual sport with a supportive team atmosphere. There is lots of great competition available for both experienced wrestlers and newcomers alike. Whether you are 105 lbs, 145 lbs or 275 lbs, there is a spot on the team for you.If you are new to wrestling, we look forward to seeing you this fall. Wrestling is a tough sport, but it is great fun and everyone is welcome. Freshmen and Sophomores are especially encouraged as the sooner you get involved, the better you will become.
If you compete in other sports during the year, Wrestling is a great way to have fun and keep in great shape during the off-season.
