Welcome to the 2025 GCMS wrestling season. We are glad that you have decided to join the team. Over the course of the season, you will learn the basics of wrestling, experience competition (Dual meets and tournaments), and have a lot of fun.
“Once you have wrestled, everything else in life is easy.”
Dan Gable-Olympic Champion
Students will be taught wrestling techniques appropriate to their skill level through demonstrations, games, drills, and live matches. Wrestlers will compete in multiple dual meets and tournaments throughout the season. The first day of practice will be on October 15th in the small gym.
Wrestling is an interscholastic sport for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders with the 5th graders participating as an intramural (5th graders do not wrestle at meets unless agreed upon by both schools). Wrestling will run from October 15th until the last dual meet on Tuesday, December 18th. Student athletes must have a current physical on file to participate.
