1.) The season will start on THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2024! Practice will be held at the Shelton High School Auxiliary Gym. Mats roll out at 6:00 PM. Warmups start at 615PM sharp! Practices will be Tuesday and Thursday, 615-730. Our age range is 4-14 years of age.
2.) Registration fee is $80 per wrestler. We do have financial assistance options available, so if you need financial assistance, please indicate that on the registration form and a board member will be in touch. **We don’t currently have a way to discount registration fees for consecutive wrestlers,** but we will not let finances be the reason a child did not wrestle, so again if you need financial assistance please indicate that on the registration form, and a board member will be in touch.
3.) Before registering, all wrestlers must first have a current USA Wrestling membership. If you do not have a current USAW membership, you will need to purchase one through the USAW membership website. You will need a full membership if you plan on doing tournaments, or a limited membership if you would just like to practice.

4.) Parents are responsible for pre-registering their wrestler(s) for tournaments through www.trackwrestling.com. Entering a tournament by pre-registration is usually less expensive than registering on-site, and some tournaments are pre-registration only.
5.) Facebook is a great tool for communication, but we have a club email that we would like to use for communication with board members. That email is: INFO@SHELTONWRESTLING.COM
6.) For tournaments your wrestler will need wrestling shoes and singlets. Singlets will be provided through the club for folkstyle season
