There were quite a few people who have never experienced a wrestling tournament not to mention trying to get your son/daughter registered, weighed in, to staging, and least to mention wrestling.

Here are my quick notes on what is needed:
To check in at every tournament
* USA Wrestling Card
* Birth Certificate
* $10 for each event being wrestled (ie. Freestyle and/or Greco) not $10/match but for the whole day.

Weigh-ins
* A Singlet is necessary for weigh-ins

To wrestle
* Singlet
* Wrestling Shoes
* Good sportsmanship

Some other questions:
* How long does the day last:
Typically a local tournament will last from 7am at registration/weighins till 2 to 5pm depending on the age of your child and number of people registered (The younger children are typically first to start and first to end)

Additional Note:
* Your son/daughter or and you are representing Gilroy Wrestling we encourage everyone to be respectful both on and off the mat (Win or Lose be a good sport). There will be many occasions where all don’t agree with calls made or appreciate the attitude of some other wrestler, coach, parent or official, we need to all do our best to set a good example for the young wrestlers and continue to make our program one we are all proud of.

See you on the mat.
