1)      RULES AND REGULATIONS

A)    PRACTICE:  All wrestlers are to show up ON TIME for practice.  This means wrestling shoes on prior to practice beginning, not walking in w/ street shoes 5 minutes into practice.  PARENTS ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THE MATS DURING PRACTICE, unless authorized by a coach.  There are many reasons for this with the top being safety. 

B)     COMPETITION:  Travel teams are determined through wrestle-offs in the beginning of the season.  Coaches have full discretion on when additional wrestle-offs will occur.  Friday practices are mandatory for these wrestlers and a non-excused absence will result in a one-match suspension.  If a wrestler misses a team event (non-excused), it will result in a one-week suspension.  Any re-occurring absences may result in dismissal from the team(s). 

2)      SCHOOLWORK:  This is a great time for kids to learn how to become a student-athlete.  If you are having trouble in school, ask for help, failing is not an option.  Wrestlers must be able to balance school and sports to participate.  Classroom behavior is included as well.  Save your aggression for the mats.  Also, let somebody else be the Class Clown and act like the Champion you are training to be.

3)      SPORTSMANSHIP:  Always show self-discipline and respect to parents, coaches, teammates, and your opponents.  If we fall and are not victorious, we work twice as hard to beat our opponent the next time.  DON’T EVER THROW YOUR HEAD GEAR, CURSE, SLAP THE MAT, LAY THERE LIKE YOU ARE DEAD, OR REFUSE TO SHAKE YOUR OPPONENTS HAND.  Any incident may result in immediate dismissal from the club.  You should be proud of that TRWC on your singlet/uniform, wear it with pride!!!

4)      DEDICATION:  Wrestling is not any easy sport.  It is not for everyone.  It takes a lot of drive and desire to compete at any level.  Practice can be fun at times, but we always work hard.  It takes mental and physical toughness to get through one of the hardest sport’s seasons.  You get what you put into this sport.  Individual and Team accomplishments do not come easy.  You have to work to get results.  Every practice you make your drill partner better by pushing him and making him work harder and harder.  THE WAY YOU TRAIN IS THE WAY YOU ARE GOING TO WRESTLE IN COMPETITION.
