Practices

All wrestlers should come to practice in appropriate practice clothing (athletic shorts and a tight-fitting t-shirt), with wrestling shoes and water.

Practices will begin for everyone on Monday, Nov 17 from 6:30-8p at Sherwood High School. After that practices  will either be Tuesday/Thursday or Monday/ Wednesday depending on what team they are assigned based on weight, age, and skill. 

Duals/Tournaments

The Outlaws team will participate in the Damascus League from December to February. Dual meets are held on Saturdays at Baker Middle School.

Wrestling Equipment

OBGC provides each wrestler with a wrestling singlet to be returned at the end of the season. A $50 deposit check is required at the time of singlet distribution. Each wrestler is responsible for obtaining wrestling shoes and headgear. Headgear is required for matches and optional for practice.  No street shoes are allowed in the wrestling room or on wrestling mats. No exceptions. Wrestling shoes and headgear may be purchased at local sporting goods stores or online. Cliff Keen brand headgear in our experience holds up the best and will likely last your child into High School. Wrestlers with braces will need mouth guards.

Volunteers 

Our program operates only through the generosity of our volunteers. Please consider volunteering. We are always looking for scorekeepers, timekeepers and practice assistants.
