Lake Zurich Middle School South Campus

The Starting Point:
Wrestling is the most competitive sport for any sized kids to compete. Wrestling is in the winter and goes until March with the State Meet. There are no tryouts for this sport, but before even thinking to do wrestling  you must have an physical on file. You will have to get better no matter how much experience you have had. The workouts are tough but by doing these workout you will get fit.

Practices:
Practices starts at 2: 30 no later or coach will be mad be in the  cafeteria. After everyone's there and everyone's ready to go. We stretch in the cafeteria then we run in the hallways for about 35 minutes. After running we go right to the wresting moves.

Equipment:
The equipment you need is headgear, mouth guard if have braces or if you want the extra protection. Bring your own wrestling shoes or coach has extras to use. When it is time to run the hallways you need running shoes and your hard working self.

Meets and tournaments:
Meets are always in the weekdays and tournaments are both weekdays and weekends. The tournaments the team will be in are one  or two quad meets, Gemini, conference, and two people from each weight class will go to regional's. The Gemini and conference are for varsity  wrestlers only. At the regional tournament if you place through third place you will go to sectionals. If you place through third place at sectionals you will advance to state.

Varsity And Junior Varsity:
 If there is more than one person that wants to wrestle at Varsity for your specific weight class then you would have to wrestle off the person/person(s).  The weight classes are listed below. Fifth graders can be on the team too. During a meet if there is no one from the other school in your weight class then you will wrestle an exhibition match, that is when you wrestle somebody near or at your weight class on your team.
