Welcome to Wrestling!!!
We will start November 4th. Practices will be Mondays and Wednesdays. Practice start time is currently 7pm, but we are working on getting it to 6:30pm. Our younger wrestlers will practice for the first hour, our older wrestlers will practice for 2 hours. We practice in the PE Lab at Ferndale High School, it is the room across from the main gym. Entrance to the school is through the front gym doors.
Items needed for practices: shorts (no zippers or buttons), t-shirt and wrestling shoes. You may practice in clean socks the first few weeks until you get shoes. We do have a bin of shoes available for you to go through and borrow for $10 for the season.
Practices will remain closed. There is a place to sit inside, but not in the matroom. We found this was the best for attention span and behavior.
You must have an athlete USA Card. This is purchased at www.themat.com. There is a limited card available for $20, or a full membership is $65. (Full membership is good for all styles and state tournaments, limited is only good for local tournaments and practices). This is a requirement to be on the mat for all wrestlers.
If you are interested in coaching (and we can always use more coaches!) please fill out the coaching application that is on the right hand side of this page. A coach's card along with a background check and a SafeSport Certification are required for all coaches. There are no exceptions. This is for the safety of all our athletes.
Tournaments will be on Sundays. A schedule will be posted shortly. A singlet will be needed for tournaments. We have quite a few dontated, and will have more info at practice.
If you have old pairs of wrestling shoes that you would like to donate, please consider donating them. This is the same for singlets too!
