Cost
My goal is to keep wrestling affordable for athletes and their families. Wrestling fees this year will be $275 which is the minimum we can charge for participation in sports at the school. This covers the basics of running a team. In addition to participation fees, you will need to purchase basic team gear. If you were on the team last year and your gear is in good shape and still fits, then you don't need to purchase any additional team gear unless you want to. If you are new to the team, then you should plan to purchase the following items as a minimum:
Navy Singlet or Navy Fight shorts with Navy Fight Shirt
1/4 zip
Jogger pants (navy)
You will also need to purchase your own wrestling shoes, head gear (ear protection), knee pads and mouth guard if needed.
We also will have many other nice items like gear bags, fight short and shirts, hats and hoodies. You are welcome to purchase any of the other items, but they are not required. To help student athletes pay for these items and keep fees low, the following fundraising opportunities are available. I recommend that all students pay their own way and get skin in the game. Our best competitors have historically paid their own way as it shows a reflection of their character and "character drives winning".
Pappa Murphy's Pizza Cards
We will be doing Papa Murphy's pizza cards again. You can purchase these at a cost ($1.00) per card from Coach Eagar. These cards can easily sell for $20 dollars or more to family, friends, and neighbors. The money you earn for selling the cards is collected by you and goes directly to paying your fees and for gear. Some of our wrestlers sold over $400 worth of cards to help pay participation fees, gear and even offseason camps. I recommend that you start with 5 cards and email and post to your family Social Media accounts with a Venmo link or other payment method then make deliveries. You can also send emails and make phone calls or even knock-on doors of trusted neighbors.
Cards are available now just coordinate with Coach Dalling.
Sponsorships
Do you know someone who owns or runs a business and would like to advertise at the school? Ask them if they are interested in sponsoring you in wrestling this year. One banner sale will pay for your entire fee's. You can provide them with this form to complete and turn back into administration (Scott Fields).

PHHS Girls and Boys Wrestling Tournament
We are planning on hosting our 7th annual tournament at PHHS on Tuesday Nov 24 (Boys) and Wednesday Nov 25th (Girls). This will also help fund our wrestling program including paying for our new mats. We will need several parent and varsity athlete volunteers to help run tables, concessions, and door. We will need the entire team to help setup and take down mats and tables for the tournament.
