For round robins, mat and group assignments will be posted in a public location shortly before wrestling commences for the day.
Bracketed tournaments will be managed electronically, usually on www.trackwrestling.com. Sign up at TrackWrestling to follow your wrestler and/or the team to keep up to date on mat assignments.
A coach is required at each match. Coaches will try to be aware of upcoming matches, but they may be working other matches as your wrestler's match approaches. Be sure to communicate with a coach about when and where your wrestler's match will be. Allow time for your wrestler to warm up before their match.

We will use the Band app if we need to get a hold of you during competition days.
Sitting together as a team is very helpful. Communication is easier. Coaches can find you if needed. Families get to know each other and can help manage kids, schedules, gear, and more. Bring entertainment. |
