Practices
Gear Needed
Wrestlers will need wrestling shoes, a headgear, and to wear shorts and a t-shirt to practice. A water bottle is also encouraged but fountains are easily accessible.
Intensity
Wrestling is considered the worlds hardest sport for a reason. Practices are at a high intensity and designed to get wrestlers ready to compete at tournaments. Wrestlers should show up 10 minutes before practice to get their shoes on so they are ready to start the warm up.
Tournaments
Tournaments are held on Sundays at schools in the surrounding area. We schedule tournaments within a 45 minute drive from the Wheaton area. Our tournament schedule can be found under the Calendar tab.
What to Expect
Wrestlers are weighed in and organized into brackets with other wrestlers their weight and age. Tournaments have become more popular in a split session where some divisions wrestle in the morning and the other divisions wrestle in the afternoon. Tournaments are an additional cost paid to the hosting team and cost $25-$35.
Age Divisions
Tot - 4-6 years old
Bantam - 7-8 years old
Intermediate - 9-10 years old
Novice - 11-12 years old

Bantam through Senior divisions are able to wrestle in the state series and qualify for the state tournament in March.
