Parent Information
Happy wrestling season to you all! There is a lot of basic information you need to know.
1. Fees - The fee to join the Club is $50. This fee helps cover the cost of mandatory insurance required by USA Wrestling and a team t-shirt.
2. The Singlet - Singlets can either be purchased from the club or rented. The cost to purchase is $40 payable to the club. To rent a singlet, you must give the club a $40 deposit of which $20 will be returned at the end of the season if the singlet is returned in good condition.
3. Practices - Practices are held every Monday and Thursday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. in the New Bloomfield High School cafeteria. Wrestlers should wear a t-shirt and comfortable, loose-fitting shorts free of zippers, buttons or snaps, and wrestling shoes to practice in.
4. Weight - The Club does NOT encourage weight loss for the wrestlers. A wrestler is not bound to a certain weight for the entire season. The weight classes are generally in 5 pound increments and you can change as needed. BUT, the weight you sign up for, for a particular tournament, is typically binding. If your child does not make that weight, he will not wrestle. Give yourself some leeway. If you have any questions, please ask.
5. Equipment - Wrestling shoes are required. These shoes must be worn only in the wrestling area and at tournaments! You may purchase these new or used. (ie: CMA, MC Sports) Sometimes parents will sell the previous year’s equipment for a discounted price. Headgear is required. Athletic bags to carry gear to practices and tournaments are recommended. Items such as Tape for laces, Band-Aids, ice packs, Tylenol and ace wraps are recommended.
6. Tournaments - We encourage you to have your child participate tournaments. This is the best experience for the wrestler. The fees vary from $10-15. However, no wrestler is obligated to enter any tournaments. (Tournaments are typically on Saturdays.)
A. PINS - If your child “pins” his/her opponent during a match, (s)he will receive a Gold Pin. This is to be placed on the wrestler’s club t-shirt; NOT on the singlet!
7. E-Mail - In an attempt to save time and money for copies, I would like to have everyone’s e-mail for updates and other information. We encourage all parents to be informed and to participate in this great sport. This will also please your wrestler more than you know.
8. Practices/Snow Days - Typically, if school is canceled due to snow, then we are canceled.
9. Birth Certificate - Every wrestler must submit a copy of his/her birth certificate in order to receive a competitor's card. This copy will be sent to MO USA Wrestling home office and be kept on file there. This is a one-time submission.
10. Match/Record Keeping - The parents will be given a sheet to keep track of their child’s wins and losses. This includes getting the opponent’s name and club affiliation, and actual score. This record will be very useful to the coaches when Districts arrive. This record will enable the coach
to seed (place) your wrestler at the best possible position. Without this record, you cannot be guaranteed your child is seeded at the best possible position. This form will also be used to inform the local papers (Jefferson City, Fulton) of tournament results. They will have to be given to Shawn Cockrum at the end of each tournament and he will forward it to the papers.
11. Brackets - At the tournaments, your child will be placed in a bracket. This could be an 8-man, or 2-4 man round robin format. If you are unfamiliar with these, please see one of the coaches before your wrestler’s first tournament.
12. Goals - Our goals are to teach the fundamentals of wrestling, good sportsmanship, team spirit/friendship and to have fun. We want this experience to be a pleasant one for your child and you, the parents, too!! Please come and join in the fun!
