Just a few bits of information regarding the upcoming season.
1. First practice will be on November 10th from 6PM - 8PM in the St. Patrick High School Wrestling Room (the basement of the Gym, that is).
2. What to wear: T-shirt, Shorts, Wrestling shoes if you have them, Headgear if you'd like. If you don't have wrestling shoes yet, we'd prefer that you not wear street shoes on the Mats, as grime/dirt/debris on your shoes will harm the coating on the mat. You can either wear new gym shoes, or just wear your socks until you get some shoes. Headgear will be required for competition, but for practices, you won't need it immediately
3. Rookie/Little Guy breakout sessions: We typically invite our new wrestlers, 8 years old and under to take part in a separate practice with Coach Bill Frank. This takes place in the Main Gym Balcony. Parents are welcome to stay and watch the Balcony practice. The practice for our 8 and unders is shorter. 6PM to 7:15PM. We will start that in earnest on November 12. We will keep all wrestlers in the wrestling room on the 1st practice, November 10.
4. Competition: Most/All tournaments are held on Sundays (beginning 12/6). Usually there is a weigh-in starting around 6:30AM, and competition starts at 9AM. We usually finish around 3PM. We travel around the greater Chicago-land area, but usually no further than an hour away from St. Pats. We try to hit major geographical regions around the are so that our wrestlers are exposed to many different opponents.
