PRACTICE:
Our athletes are expected to consistently show up, dressed out and ready to wrestle. The proper attire for wrestling is gym shorts, T-shirt, wrestling shoes, head gear, water bottle and a towel to dry off with. Wreslting attire needs to be washed daily in order to prevent skin diseases.

We will be mostly competing in the Bakersfield Area. Tournaments begin in December. There is a tournament every weekend. Competing in these tournaments is EXPECTED! This is our only way to evaluate the wrestlers' skill level. It is the parents reponsibility to make arrangements for your wrestler to attend. There are rides available and coaches are there to help your wrestler. We will be hosting our own tournament at Tehachapi High School and will need everyone's help! Parent involvement is highly encouraged!
