General Information: The Rattlers is open to athletes from 5 to 14 years of age. The Folkstyle season will run from November to February. We wrestle in several tournaments with the Pikes Peak Wrestling League.. Insurance is provided through USA Wrestling and is included in the club fee.
Parents: Do Not Drop Your Child(ren) off and leave. This is a sport that they can be injured. If your child is misbehaving on the mat, you need to address the issue or we will ask them to leave. Occasionally we finish up early and if you are not there then someone from the club must stay and wait for you. Each wrestler must check in before he will be allowed into the gym and he will be asked who is responsible for him or her.
Sportsmanship: We expect all of our coaches, wrestlers and parents to represent the Rattlers with the utmost level of sportsmanship. We will not tolerate any coach or wrestler refusing to shake hands with his opponent, throwing headgear or use foul language. Parents are also reminded to set examples for the wrestlers. Again, any parent found displaying poor sportsmanship is subject to probation or their child could be dismissed from the club with no refund. We sincerely hope that this never occurs.
Never verbally or physically, abuse your child or any other child while at the Rattlers practices or any tournaments. Any parent or coach who is found abusing a child will be dropped from the team without refund.
Wrestlers: There is no horseplay, talking, or “goofing off” while a coach is giving instruction on the mats. These coaches give up their time to pass on their experience and should not have to deal with inappropriate behavior.
Cancellations/Changes: Practices or tournaments may need to be cancelled due to weather or school closures. If the school is closed because of weather, then practice will be cancelled.
Personal Hygiene: Ringworm and impetigo are a major concern for all wrestlers. These conditions can wreck havoc on an individual as well as a team. Each wrestler should shower immediately after practice and tournaments. It is recommended to use Head and Shoulders Dandruff shampoo. Use it like soap. Keep their fingernails trimmed. The mats are mopped with an anti-bacterial/anti-fungal cleaner before every practice. In the event your child gets ringworm it can be treated with Lamisil anti-fungal cream. It can be found in the athlete’s foot area in most stores. Lamisil is a fungicidal (kills the fungus) the other brands are fungi stats (stops it from reproducing but does not kill it). It’s a red spot that gets a crusty, itchy ring. See a coach if you think your child has it. Any spots see a coach due to contagious nature of skin disease.
Coach’s card: All coaches of PRWC are required to have a Background Check, a current USA Wrestling Coaches Card and Bronze Level Certified in order to help at practice and at matside. Most tournaments that we might attend will require you to have at least a bronze level certificate and current coaching card through USA Wrestling to be on the mat. This includes parents who want to be mat side to watch video tape or photograph their child. You must wear your card during these tournaments. If you are interested in getting certified, please let us know.
Cost: There are several costs associated with wrestling. First is the club fee of $150 ($100 for sibling and $300 Family Max). After Oct 30th fees go up to $200/$150/$350. Additional cost maybe for singlet, headgear, wrestling shoes, and tournaments fees. The club fee covers the USA wrestling card, wrestling room usage fee, T-shirt, coaches training, and partial funding of the Teams Charter & Team banquet.
