** IMPORTANT***     

• Each tournament will have their own registration & weigh-in process. We communicate how to register when that information becomes available
  
  
  Each wrestler will weigh in at practice and we will submit the weights to the hosting team.  Their weight at that time determines the bracket they will be placed in.  It is okay if your child’s weight fluctuates between tournaments.  They will be encouraged to do their best no matter what their bracket.

Singlets:

We have team singlets available for checkout for a $40 CASH fully refundable deposit. These singlets will only be for athletes who are competing in folkstyle tournaments. Parents will be responsible for getting their athlete red/blue freestyle & greco singlets to compete in.

Team singlets can be checked out:  During parent meeting and the week of first tournament from the Equipment Manager

Singlet deposit can only be accepted as a check, money order, or Venmo.

LAKELAND WRESTLING CLUB QUESTIONS:

How can I help the club?  We need volunteers for fundraising, coaching during practices, at tournaments: coaching, scorecard keeping, and refereeing.  The club will provide training for any and all duties. It is LWC’s expectation that all parents volunteer in some capacity. We are a growing club and would love to talk to you more about getting involved year round.

What are the costs to sign up my child?  The 2024 spring registration fee will be $100, along with a $40 singlet DEPOSIT (your deposit check will be returned to you with the return of the singlet). There are no sibling discounts.

Where do we practice?  All practices will be at Lakeland High School in the High School Wrestling Room.  It is a privilege and can be revoked by the school if team members or their families do not conduct themselves in a manner that is respectful of school property.  Parents are asked to stay and help with the little kids. Parent participation is strongly encouraged. Please be mindful that siblings do not run in the wrestling room or other places in the school. Please be mindful that practice does not get disrupted. The coaches at any time have the right to ask you to leave until practice is over.  Each wrestler is expected to be an attentive listener and to practice as the coach instructs during the entire practice.  Wrestlers who do not pay attention and/or disrupt the entire practice will be asked to sit out for an appropriate amount of time. Continual disruptive behavior will result in removal from the team without a refund. 

What about hygiene for wrestlers?  Personal hygiene for wrestlers is extremely important.  To keep down the occurrence to spreading infections and skin conditions, the wrestling mats are disinfected regularly.  In consideration for all wrestlers, coaches, and parents, please do not send your child to practice or tournaments if they are feeling ill, have a fever or are experiencing flu like symptoms.  In addition we strongly recommend that each wrestler adhere to the following recommendations.

Ø  Do not wear street shoes on the mates.  Do not wear your wrestling shoes anywhere but on the mats, (not on pavement, grass, etc.).

Ø  Wear clean clothes to each practice

Ø  Immediately shower after practice and tournaments

Ø  Report any skin rashes to the coaches.

Ø  Wash clothing after each practice

What is required wrestling equipment?  Singlet and wrestling shoes are required. A singlet is part of the uniform that we supply with a DEPOSIT.  The equipment exchange will be during registration and the first practice. If you have equipment to sell trade or donate please contact our equipment manager. Headgear is REQUIRED. The best places in our area to buy wrestling shoes and headgear is Big 5.

What food should I bring to a tournament for my wrestler?

Snacks and/or lunch are needed.

Suggested food is, but not limited to: apples, bananas, granola bars, 100% fruit juice, boiled eggs, string cheese, deli meat, sandwich.

**Encourage your wrestler to stay away from acidic and/or greasy foods on tournament days.**
