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 $60, 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
