Wrestling

North Pines Wrestling families,

As we start our season I want to answer some common questions.

 

-What dates and times are practices?

Practice runs Monday thru Friday for the first two weeks and Monday thru Thursday thereafter.  Every practice runs until 4:50pm.

 

-What does my athlete need for Practice?

Athletic clothing.  This could be a t-shirt long or short sleeve or a sweatshirt, Shorts or sweats for bottoms and wrestling shoes.  I have a tote full of wrestling shoes to loan out that your child could see if they fit the first day of practice.  If I don’t have shoes that would work they can be purchased at Big-5 or Dicks Sporting Goods.

 

-What is needed for matches?

Everything needed is provided except wrestling shoes and mouthguards for children with braces.  The mouthguard is specifically for braces and has to cover both upper and lower braces, these are often available from your orthodontist or may be purchased at sporting goods stores, Walmart or Amazon.  Headgear is provided but you may purchase your own if you wish.

 

Thank you for allowing your son or daughter participate in the sport of wrestling.  As coaches are goal extends far beyond creating good wrestlers.  We want them to develop essential life skills such as building discipline, confidence, resilience, accountability, work ethic and leadership.
