Patriot Wrestling Team Information

We start regular practices on Nov 9th and have about 3 weeks to get in "wrestling shape" and learn as much as possible before the competition season starts at the end of November.  Those who attend pre-season practices or participate in other sports (Aug-Nov) will benefit from starting earlier to get their body, mind and skills prepared for the season. Competition goes until mid-February with tournaments and dual meets each week. Most dual meets will be on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays. Tournaments are typically Friday and/or Saturday. 

Once the season begins, it is important that wrestlers come to practice every day. We teach and practice important techniques in sequential order based on the individual and overall needs of the team. When a wrestler misses practice, they miss an opportunity to improve. They also effect other kids on the team who depend on them as a sparring partner. We recommend you schedule appointments outside of regular practice time where possible. You should also develop consistent study and sleep habits and use your free time wisely. If a wrestler cannot make it to practice on a given day, then they must communicate this with a coach in advance. We will assign a make-up practice. There are rarely good excuses for missing practice during the season and believe me we have heard them all.
