Practices will begin promptly at 6:30 & 7:15 PM. We expect wrestlers to be ready to step onto the mat at 6:30 & 7:15 sharp. This means, shoes tied, head gear available and fingernails clipped. Weights will be taken before each practice and fingernails will be checked.  Make sure you have a water bottle available at the beginning of practice as well. 

 

Wrestlers will be expected to follow our Wrestling Team Rules: 

• Be respectful of coaches & other people.

• No talking while coaches are speaking.

• Get better every day.

• Be a good teammate – work hard and don’t waste time. 

​​

These rules are put into place to ensure a safe and fun practice for all. 

To promote health and sanitation Valdez Youth Wrestling Club ensures that the mats are sanitized before each practice session. We highly encourage you to help us keep things sanitary by ensuring that your wrestler showers after every practice, practice clothing is washed between sessions, & wrestling shoes are worn at wrestling practice only. 

We do not promote cutting weight at the youth level. If your wrestler chooses to compete, he will wrestle at his natural weight. We promote healthy eating habits and a healthy lifestyle (drink water and cut out the juices and soda).
