Our Team Philosophy BUILDING CHAMPIONS ON AND OFF THE MAT
Our Team Philosophy BUILDING CHAMPIONS ON AND OFF THE MAT can be summed up by providing a positive and challenging environment in the practice room focusing on our team s core values to help your son or daughter become both a Champion in wrestling and Life. The core values we teach your wrestler are
Team Values Honor Integrity Courtesy Self-Control Perseverance
Is my child ready to compete? How often should we compete? Have them wrestle in the My First Wrestling Tournament Jan 17th. This Tournament is for new wrestlers only! No wrestling experience needed. Missed this tournament? Then ask coach Josh if your wrestler is ready. Pay attention to your child. If they are having fun at tournaments, and wanting to go then go compete. If they are not having fun at tournaments, and wanting to stay home on tournament day then don t sign up for another tournament until they are ready. Remember, they are young! Maybe they only wrestle in one or two tournaments, or even none this year. This is ok! If you drag them when they don t want to go they will just end up hating the sport.
