Each wrestler will be weighed several times throughout the season. The goal is to assign each wrestler to a weight class that is comfortable for them. The Coaching Staff will not encourage any wrestler to cut weight. We will work with each of the wrestlers at their present weight to ensure that they are competitive at that weight class.
Practice gear: clean T-shirt, shorts, headgear and wrestling shoes. Mouthpieces can be worn if desired (they are required for wrestlers that have braces) No jewelry, and No clothing with buttons or zippers can be worn.
It is important that all wrestlers keep themselves clean during the wrestling season. This is the first step in protecting them from skin problems. Prior to every practice the mats will be sanitized. This will help reduce any risk for skin infections. Wrestlers are required to keep their fingernails trimmed and cover any scratches, cuts, or wounds with a clean dressing. Mandatory skin checks will be conducted during the season. All wrestlers should shower immediately after practice. Using Defense soap is recommend, but regular soap is fine.
With signing of the registration form, participants will be covered by the general liability policy held by the Colts Neck Sports Foundation.
Wrestling is a contact sport: injuries can and do happen, our goal is with good coaching to minimize this risk.
Wrestlers must adhere to 'Sanitation Guidelines' provided by Coaching staff*
The nature of Wrestling is demanding, as a precaution it is recommended that all participants be in good physical shape and bathe after all practices/tournaments.
