Parents can play many roles in sport: current or former athlete, coach, fan, motivator, role model or critic. A few studies have shown that family members may influence an athlete’s involvement and achievement in sport more than coaches. Parents also are the first and most critical agents at socializing sports. Please consider volunteering your time to help support your wrestler during the season. The Club is always looking for more help in the training room and with our youth Tournament in March.
New to Wrestling? Here are a couple frequently asked question from parents...

ANS: Short answer is yes. In order to compete a USA Wrestling Card is required at all tournaments. The card provides insurance coverage not only to the tournament host but also to your wrestler. This includes coverage for any injuries that might happen during practice as well. USA Wrestling's website has more information to further explain the benefits and coverage.
