PRE-CLASS

  • Check in and notify coaches of any injuries or medical concerns prior to the start of training.

  • Ensure you have clean wrestling boots or are barefoot before stepping on the mat.

  • Wrestling boots must NOT be worn in toilet areas or outside the mat and gym space (slides are provided).

  • A clean mat prevents serious health issues from occurring. All athletes are responsible for maintaining mat hygiene.
