Why wrestle?
Wrestling is a great sport that develops agility, strength, and mental toughness. Wrestling is a great sport to build a “base” of athleticism for other sports. Unlike some sports, a player’s size is not a limitation because there are many weight classes. It’s also a lot of fun!
Eligibility
Wrestlers must either attend CAPS Schools, live in the CAPS district, or get permission from the CWC executive board.

What does my child need for wrestling?
Wrestlers will need shoes and headgear before the first meet. These can be bought at sporting goods stores or online. We recommend Cliff Keen Youth Headgear. Older kids may need the adult version of the head gear. Clean socks can be worn at practice until shoes are obtained. Wrestlers practice in shorts and a t-shirt. We will be issuing uniforms for wrestlers to wear in meets. Failure to return the uniform will result in paying a fee. All wrestlers will get a warm-up shirt to keep.
