Why does the club cost money?

Our club has a membership cost for a few reasons. The main reason is that eventually, we want to have the ability to branch out away from the schools and have a dedicated facility for wrestling. This would be a facility that had multiple mats as well as workout equipment. Another reason is it costs money to exist as a club. We all have club and membership dues that we owe to USA Wrestling as well. We as a club also have various other expenses like this webpage. Currently, we are not being charged for the use of the school facility, but that could change in the future. As of right now, all coaches have agreed not to take any money from the club as payment for coaching. This would allow us to have some money on hand to deal with expenses as they arise. We are currently a North Carolina Non-Proffit club. We fully plan to put as much money back into the club as possible to make it the best possible experience for our wrestlers and parents.

What do we need to bring to practice?

in your gym bag you should have :

  • Wrestling shoes (Please do not wear them outside of practice, the soles are made for the mat, not the parking lot)

  • T-shirt

  • Shorts or sweatpants (nothing with metal zippers or fasteners)

  • Water bottle

  • Good attitude

what are the age groups for TOURNAMENTS?

Divisions are broken down by age and gender. The official information can be found here for both boys and girls: USA WRESTLING DIVISIONS

How often will we travel to other TOURNAMENTS?

At this age, mat time is one of the most important factors. This is where young wrestlers will be tested and see how they match up. We will travel as much as the coaches can travel. If you want to take your wrestler to events we are not planning, please bring them up with the coaches and we will see what we can do to coordinate a trip.

How do we communicate to coaches?

We are using an app called “Stack Team App” It has a lot of features but once you are registered with the club we will send out an invite to the emails we have. If you require another person on the list for the app please let a coach know.
