As a result, its facilities are available to the club. • Practices are held in the Junior High loft. • Duals and Tournaments are held at various locations throughout the season. • Transportation – Transportation to and from practices is the responsibility of parents. Transportation to out-of-town meets is generally facilitated by the club, but parents are ultimately responsible. • Competition – A wrestler’s age constitutes which division he/she will compete (Beg. 6,7,& 8 yrs, Novice 9 & 10 yrs, Middle 11 &12 yrs, Junior 13 & 14 yrs) and subsequently a wrestler’s weight constitutes which bracket he/she will compete. • Attire – Practices: Shorts or sweats, T-shirt and wrestling shoes. Meets: Wrestling shoes, club-provided singlet, and team shirt. • Minimizing The Risk of Injury – Injuries are an inevitable part of athletics regardless of the preventative measures taken. Risk of injury can be reduced by following basic guidelines. The most important is proper overall conditioning. • Depleting food/fluid to make a particular weight class may be detrimental to the health and safety of an athlete. AWC does not advocate weight loss. • Wrestlers are encouraged to wear protective headgear and protective knee pads. • To reduce the risk of skin diseases, wrestlers should shower after workouts; wash workout clothes often; dry their skin adequately; clean mats daily; and avoid wearing street shoes on wrestling mats or wrestling shoes off the mats. • Wrestlers with open wounds, broken skin or diseases of the skin are discouraged from participating until the skin is healed or the wrestler has been cleared to participate by a licensed physician. • Proper strength and conditioning regimes are encouraged. • Athletes are encouraged to develop the specific skills involved in wrestling and to be aware of the rules governing their athletic endeavors. • Parents must sign a waiver that indicates they are ware of the inherent risk of injury to their child. • Behavior – Arlee Wrestling Club reserves the right to suspend or dismiss any participant whose attitude, conduct or attendance is unsatisfactory to the coaches or the team. As a condition of participation, each participant and parent/guardian must agree to and sign a behavior agreement. The common thread to the rules is respect for one another. Breaking one or more of them on the mats, at school, or elsewhere may result in lost practice time, lost wrestling time, and/or suspension from the team. The intent is to assure a fun, safe, and successful season through common expectations. • PARENT SUPPORT – Active parental participation is important to ensure a successful Season.
