Generally
speaking, we recommend that first year wrestlers
sign up for the Cardinal Team. This allows the
young athlete to
figure out if they like the sport and want to learn
more before committing to the Gold Team. Cardinal
practices consist of light workouts, learning the
basics of the
sport, and a dual meet schedule with matchups against
other novice wrestlers.
Gold
Team members are committed to harder workouts,
conditioning, more advanced technique, and wrestling
a tournament
schedule against other more advanced wrestlers.
Much of the time the Gold Team will have the same
daily practice
plan as the High School team! Those athletes who
have wrestled on the Gold Team will easily make
the transition to the High School level when the
time comes. 3rd year wrestlers are required to
register for the Gold Team.
The
coaches for both levels are knowlegable, caring,
supportive, and will help your wrestler get
to the next level. High
School wrestlers are always on hand at practices
to correct technique and give advice and pointers
to all
those who need it.
