Information for New Parents and Wrestlers

In this blog post, we will cover material that is helpful for new parents and wrestlers.

Practice Attire and Equipment

Required at every practice: wrestling shoes, running shoes, and a water bottle

• Tops: 

  • Fitted T-shirt (Tesoro Wrestling gear or Tesoro colors — red, blue, white — strongly encouraged).

  • Each athlete will be issued one Tesoro T-shirt.

• Bottoms: 

  • Shorts (minimum 5-inch inseam) or

  • Sweatpants

  • Knee pads are strongly recommended.

• Not allowed: tank tops, hoodies, or workout attire with zippers or buttons

Hygiene

• Always wear clean clothes to practice and re-apply deodorant beforehand

• Fingernails must be trimmed weekly

• Shower immediately after practice thoroughly with soap. 

• Clean headgear, kneepads, and other equipment regularly

• Report any questionable skin conditions to a coach immediately

PE Attendance

Wrestling is also a PE class and carries credit just like any other course. Grades are based on attendance and participation, not skill level.

• Athletes must complete 10 hours of PE activity every two weeks

• During the off-season: practices are held twice per week (2 hours each), plus 1 hour of weightlifting, running, or team activity = 5 hours/week

• We will do 1 hour of weightlifting, running, or team activity on Tuesdays right after school at 3:30pm

• The official wrestling season begins in November, when practices increase to 4–5 days per week

As the season begins, we will be looking for parent involvement to help support the growth and success of Tesoro Wrestling. We invite you to consider joining one of our committees:

• Booster Club Membership Committee

• Communications Committee

• Home Dual Meet Committee

• Merchandise Committee

• Senior Night & Awards Committee

Athletic Clearance

If you haven't already, please complete your child's athletic clearance here https://www.tesorotitanathletics.com/athleticclearance. Please complete this ASAP as it is required before your son or daughter can participate in wrestling.

sportsYou

We are making the change from TeamSnap to sportsYou for our team's communication, calendar, etc. Both athletes AND parents should download the app and create sportsYou accounts. Please contact our coaching staff for the team access code.
