Wrestling

Registration begins in November, 3 months before the start date in February. If registration is full for your child's division, you can be put on a waitlist. Registration ends 3 weeks before our first week of practice, at which point Late Registration will open until the end of the first week of practice and a late fee will be charged. Late registration will not guarantee you a wrestling T-shirt or a singlet depending on availability.

Each league is granted to have 8 weeks of practice and 6 weeks of tournaments. Practice times for each team depend on the availability of the team’s volunteer coach. 

All wrestling practices are held at Salida High School Wrestling Room, Monday through Thursday from 6:15 PM to 8:15 PM. Practice times for each team depend on the availability of the team’s coach. All of our divisions have two practices a week. 

The two weeks of the season are dedicated to practices only, tournaments do not begin until the 3rd week.

In wrestling, participants compete in divisions and not teams, that are arranged by the year they were born and their weight. The league as a whole is limited to 90 participants, that is 30 participants per division. 

Providing a fun and educational environment for participants and parents we collaborate with the National Alliance for Youth Sports (NAYS) to help our volunteer coaches understand the importance of friendly competition, teamwork, and physical activity, which can help children learn new skills, develop self-confidence, and more. Additionally, we provide the parents and players with etiquette guidelines and rules to ensure that all coaches, parents, and players are treated respectfully.

When communicating with coaches and the team we use an App called Team Snap. Team Snap allows us to easily update practice schedules, and game schedules, and answer any questions your parents or participants might may have. Team Snap also allows you to see any team pictures or videos a parent may upload and see the team's game history. To download Team Snap and learn how to navigate the app click on the links below.

We are always looking for coaches! You do not need to be a parent to coach in our league. Coaches are provided with training, a refund for their child’s registration (or equivalent account credit),  a coach shirt, and all of the resources they need to successfully coach a youth sport. In return, we ask that our coaches do the following things:

• Fill out the pre-season coach survey
• Complete the pre-season coach training (4-5 hours online training)
• Pass a background check
• Follow all of our coaching guidelines
• Finish their coaching commitment for the season
• Complete an end-of-season coach survey
