<p> FMS WRESTLING – TEAM RULES We are really looking forward to a great year! In order for us to be successful, we wanted to give you a few guidelines for this upcoming season. Below are some rules that will help things to run smoothly. We appreciate your time and dedication to the team!</p><p>1. If you can’t be picked up by 4:45 pm every day, then it will make it very difficult for you to be on the team. There are no late buses at that time. You have to either get picked up at this time or walk home at this time. 2. Your grades will be monitored with a daily progress report. 3. If you have a detention, it is always a priority over a practice or a match. You will not wrestle in a match if you get detention on that day. 4. If you receive ISS or OSS, you will not be allowed to participate in any matches for one week. If ISS or OSS is a consistent problem, it may lead to dismissal from the team. 5. Always show respect for both your teammates and your opponents. No taunting, trash talking, or negativity allowed. Also, always show respect toward any adults (referees, other coaches, teachers, etc…) 6. If you’re going to miss practice or a match, your coaches need to know ASAP via email, phone call, or in person. Our contact information is listed below. 7. 3 unexcused absences may lead to dismissal from the team. BE ON TIME!!! 8. Any type of misconduct can lead to dismissal of the team (stealing, fighting, disruptive behavior etc...) 9. All injuries must be reported to your coaches and to the trainer. 10. You must take a shower EVERY NIGHT!!! The mats will be cleaned daily, but you must wash yourselves with anti-bacterial soap to avoid any potential skin problems!!! 11. After the tryouts are finished and you have made the team….You MUST have wrestling shoes! You can get discounted shoes at the following websites: www.eastbay.com; www.weplaysports.com; www.wwsport.com; or go to your local Dick’s Sporting Goods or Modell’s. A good price is around $29 -$39. Tryouts We will have tryouts on November 21st and 22nd. During this tryout, we will have coaches that will evaluate your present wrestling skills, work ethic, grades, and attitude. You will know whether you made the wrestling team by November 23rd. The following is needed for the tryouts: sneakers and clean t-shirt/shorts. (If you have wrestling shoes and headgear, please bring them, too). We will be doing a series of agility drills, wrestling skills and drills, running, and conditioning during the tryout period. Practice We will practice Monday through Friday. Practices will be held in the Lower Gym at FMS. Practices will begin promptly after school, and end at 4:45 pm every day. If practice is cancelled, the coaches will make an announcement. Always plan for practice, unless a COACH says no. Once again, you must be picked up immediately at 4:45, or you can’t be on the wrestling team. Make arrangements now with your parents or friends that live near you. Matches In a Wrestling match, you will wrestle someone that is in your weight class. We will have challenges for each weight class to see who will compete. There will be a bus to take you to our away matches. When we have an away match, you parent/guardian must be waiting for the bus to arrive when we return. When we have a home match, you will be dismissed from the lower gym, after all equipment is cleaned up and put away. </p><p>Weight classes in lbs: 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 112, 119, 126, 133, 140, 150, 165, 225</p><p>Coach Murschell – [email protected] / 732-249-6410 x 469 Coach Cox – [email protected] / 732-873-2800 x121</p>
