Equipment- Wrestling shoes are preferred, but they are not mandatory. The school will provide uniforms, warmups, and headgear for all meets. All of the equipment issued will be turned in after each meet.

• Any wrestler with braces must have a double-sided mouthpiece.

Wrestle-offs- Prior to the first match, each person will wrestle for their position in the starting lineup. If a wrestler wins the wrestle-off, then they will wrestle in the varsity matches scheduled for that week. At the next wrestle-off, everybody will wrestle-off for their spot. If a wrestler holds his Varsity spot for 2 consecutive weeks, then that wrestler will have to be beaten twice to be unseated.

Exhibition (JV) matches- The coaches will attempt to get every wrestler, not on varsity, matches throughout the season. What weights get exhibition matches are contingent on what the other schools have. Example- PS may have 3 wrestlers from 80-95 pounds, but the school that we are wrestling only has spots available for 120 pounds, 130 pounds, and 180 pounds.

• The coaches will try to arrange JV matches the night before our match so that the parents/guardians will have time to make arrangements. Because this is middle school, there may be some changes made to the lineup on match day, and we will have your son/daughter call you as soon as we know.

Match Day- For Home matches, everybody will practice. The wrestlers, who are not wrestling in the meet, can get picked up, or stay for the match.

Away Matches- Only the wrestlers that are slated to wrestle will travel to the opponent’s school. Everybody will travel with the team, on the bus, to the opposing school. Parents/Guardians may sign their child out AFTER the match. Whoever does not get signed out, will be brought back to Potomac Shores.

Wrestling is based on making weight at the following weight classes:

75, 80, 86, 92, 98, 106, 114, 122, 131, 140, 149, 158, 168, 180, 205, 265

A wrestler must be exactly on weight, or under, to compete. After two matches, each weight class goes up 1 pound. EX 80 goes to 81. At Regionals, each weight class is 2 pounds over the original class. EX 106 goes to 108.

Regional Tournament is Saturday TBD: This is an all-day tournament that will be located at a local high school. There is a final wrestle off that will determine who will wrestle in the tournament. The wrestlers will be seeded in a double-elimination tournament against the other 10 schools in the eastern region. More information will be given when we get closer to the tournament.

All matches are scheduled to start at 5:10. Exhibition matches occur before the Varsity Match.
