Key Dates for Beginning of Season
- Nov. 7th Practice Begins; practice is M-F from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. unless otherwise designated (e.g. practices on non-school days may be moved to mornings). Wrestlers may check weight before practice in the locker room. Wrestlers must bring appropriate shoes for running and wear appropriate clean clothing for practice; shorts (preferably without pockets) and a t-shirt (no cutoff sleeves or tank tops). Wrestling shoes may be purchased locally at Big 5 or at Play It Again Sports. We will issue headgear, which is required for live wrestling. Amador wrestling t-shirts and sweatshirts are available for purchase at a very reasonable price.
