Equipment: Wrestling shoes, appropriate athletic attire and mouth guard. If your athlete is wearing braces, it is mandatory they wear a mouth guard.
Meets/Tournaments
Meals: There will be no game day meals for wrestling.
Transportation: For meets during the week (school day), we will depart from Hays Middle School. For tournaments on. If we are wrestling away, once your athletes are done competing and has checked with me for reassurance you may sign them out. If we are wrestling in Prosper, we ask that every athlete stay until the end to help clean up the facility.
Equipment: I will distribute singlets to the athletes either the day of or day before competition. It is their responsibility to bring the singlets back to Hays Middle School the next school day. We have headgear, but have a limited amount.
For meets, if we have multiple athletes in the same weight class, we will have a wrestle off to determine who will participate during that meet. For tournaments all athletes are eligible to participate.
If your athlete did not pass the last grade check they are unable to participate in wrestling.
We will have wrestling practice with Roger.
During competition, I will try to be in every corner for Hays athletes. However, there will be multiple occasions that two or more Hays wrestlers will be competing at the same time. At this time another Rock Hill wrestling coach may be in your athlete’s corner.
All parents must stay in the stands with other spectators. You may not be in the corner or on the mat at any time.
