A) Your wrestler will require a pair of wrestling shoes that you can purchase at most sporting good stores or on-line.  If you wrestle in any USA sanctioned tournaments your wrestler is required to have headgear.  You can purchase this at most sporting good stores or for a better selection go on-line for this item.  Mouth guards are required only if your child has braces.

A) Wrestling typically begins the first part of November and runs thru the end of end of March. 

A) There are many tournaments around the state.  We as a club decide on which tournaments that we will attend and we will then let you know which ones we will be attending.  We usually pick a AAU or USA tournament that we know is run well from past history. There are many weekends that you could attend one tournament on Saturday and one tournament on Sunday. On any given weekend you may elect to attend a tournament different than the one the we chose for the club but you will be on your own for the signup and coaching at a non-club tournament.

A) Skin conditions are very common in wrestling.  The skin conditions are all avoidable if the wrestlers follow a few general guidelines. There are several antibacterial foams available to help cut down and even prevent the skin conditions.  We will cover this in greater length at the Parents Meeting at the start of the season.

A) We’re sorry but there are no refunds given.  The reason for that is after you register we register your wrestler with both AAU and USA Wrestling and we pay those organizations for your wrestler tobe able to wrestle in sanctioned AAU and USA events. The money that you paid at registration is paid to these organizations for your competitor cards.

Q) Is there any work duties at WHWC?

A) Yes there is one expectation of every family and that is to work our tournaments that we host every year.  We understand that both parents are not normally available to work but we are requiring at least one parent to be available to work our tournament.  The work duties include but are not limited to:  Concessions, table workers, set up & break down of the tournament. 

A) We have not require you to do any fundraising in the past. Typically we have utilized our tournaments to rais the necessary funds to keep the club going on a year to year basis. That is why it is o important for everyone to help out and work our tournaments.

A) If you registered for a tournament and cannot attend you need to call me or the hosting club to report your abscence.  That way I am not looking for you or calling you to check.  The money that you paid for that tournament is non-refundable or transferable.

Q) Can my wrestler get hurt?

A) As with all sports injuries can occur.  Wrestling is a very intensive sport and injuries are something that we do not see on a regular basis but it is something that can happen.  If your wrestler has a health condition please have him checked out by a doctor prior to starting the season.  Let your doctor know that this is the sport that your child would like to partake in and make sure your doctor says it is ok for your child to do
