Practices are held at Argo High School Wrestling gym starting Tuesday, November 10th, 2009. Practices are held from 6 – 8 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of every week. The schedule during holiday weeks may vary. Everyone should attend the instructional practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Mondays and Wednesdays are elite practices which will be run at a much quicker pace, and are optional.
Wrestlers can be dropped off and picked up at the pass gate at the back of the building. During the first week of practice, parents may watch the practice to get an idea of the activities that take place, and meet the coaches that will be spending time teaching their children. After the first week of practice however, parents are not allowed to wait in the wrestling room, as this causes a distraction to the kids. If parents would like to assists in the practices, please see Coach Joe.
The kids should bring the following equipment:
-
Sports Bag - to carry shoes, water bottle, coat, hat, cell phone, etc.
-
Shorts - Please do not use the Badger wrestling shorts that are worn to the tournaments.
-
T-shirt with short sleeves - most kids wear cotton t-shirts, warm weather under armour is good too
-
Wrestling shoes - Carry these to practice in your sports bag. Do NOT wear wrestling shoes outside the wrestling gym.
-
Water Bottle
-
Headgear - available for purchase through the Badgers
Do not wear the tournament warm-ups to practices.
Practices are tough and kids tend to sweat, so a hooded sweatshirt or a jacket, or a hat, are advised after practice. After practice, the kids should shower or bathe before going to bed.
