Practice Schedule



2023-2024 Wrestling Season

Registration for the 2023-2024 wrestling season is now available (visit the "Club Registration" tab of the website). More detailed practice will be available to those registered on or before November 17th.   

Our “regular” season begins in late November and concludes in late February.  Postseason (state series) wrestling is the first two weeks in March.


After our initial registration period closes, we will evaluate the registrations we receive to form practice groups and establish a practice schedule.  We will email practice details (days/times) to you prior to the start of the season.  Practices will likely begin the week after Thanksgiving.
