There are no coaches so younger kids especially need to have a parent help them.
 
Please be sure your son/daughter wears his/her practice singlet or shorts & t-shirt to practice, and brings a water bottle. No sports drinks. Also, NO STREET SHOES on the mat please!  Please feel free to use the lockers inside the wrestling room during practice.
 
Stats: Email them weekly to trftakedown@gmail.com or there will be a stat book at practice as well.  Will need the location, # of matches, wins, losses, pins, and placing.  These are used for the Times Newspaper and the year-end banquet awards. This is optional.
