· Equipment:
Each athlete should have his or her own pair of wrestling shoes by the start of the season. We have some available to borrow for practice, but there is no guarantee that we will have all sizes. We recommend going to Read's Sporting Goods in Bloomington.
Each athlete should have his or her own headgear. Just like the shoes, we may have some extra for practice, but we do not have enough for everyone. The sooner they can get it the better.
Uniform: Singlets will be provided. Each athlete is responsible for his or her own singlet(s). They will be returned at the end of the season. If they do not get returned, the office will hold the student’s report card until the equipment is returned.
T-shirts and warm-ups will be available for purchase.
· Team Rules:
Athletes will be under the same rules as they are in school. Rules may be found in the student handbook.
Attendance is taken daily. 3 unexcused absents will result in dismissal from the team.
Grades: Grades are very important. Grades will be handed to the coaching staff at the beginning of each week. If an athlete is failing a class, they are not permitted to compete in practice or meets for the entire week. For example: if the student is failing his or her math class on Monday, he or she is not allowed to wrestle on that Saturday of the same week. Even if the student stays after school and gets the grade back up to passing, he or she may still NOT compete for the remainder of the week. If the student is failing a class on the week of regionals, the athlete may not wrestle in the regional tournament. Henceforth, his or her season would be over. If the student is ineligible 3 weeks (in a row or separate) he or she will be dismissed from the team - NO EXCEPTIONS.
Students need to dress for PE. If they do not, they will not be eligible to compete in practice or meets on that day. It will also count as 1 unexcused absents.
On meet day: It is SCHOOL POLICY that all participants ride the bus TO the meet. If the athlete misses the bus (for any reason) he or she may NOT compete under any circumstance. Even if the athlete shows up on their own, on time, ready to go, he or she still may NOT compete. Students may ride home with their parents if they so choose. It is also SCHOOL POLICY that in order to ride home with one’s parents, we need a note provided to the coaching staff written by the parent. THE NOTE MUST ALSO BE SIGNED BY A MEMBER OF THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION. That means that if a parent is planning on taking the athlete home with them they need to have a note signed ahead of time by the administration and the parent. It is too late to wait until Saturday after the meet to decide to take the athlete home.
