Registration for the 2024-25 Season
Registration for the recreation league will be from September through November 12, 2024. Space is very limited and last year we filled up and had a waiting list.
Cost is $275
During registration you will be asked the questions below, so please be prepared:
Estimated Weight, height and experience wrestling
Volunteering: Select opportunities including time keeper, scoring, practice assistant, etc.
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 mouthguards.
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 on November 13th and will be held weekly at Sherwood High School from 6:30PM – 8PM. Typically we hold practice on Monday and Wednesday but days are subject to change based upon room availability.
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.
Volunteers – Our program operates only through the generosity of our volunteers. Please consider volunteering. We are always looking for scorekeepers, timekeepers and practice assistants. No wrestling experience is necessary. If you are interested in helping out as a practice assistant please email: wrestling@obgc.com
OBGC Intermediate Wrestling
There will be opportunities for intermediate wrestlers and those looking for a challenge to complete in a variety of different tournaments throughout the 2024-2025 season. Tournament registration fees are not included and will require an additional fee (Usually $15-$60 dollars depending on the tournament) paid directly to the tournament organizers. Additionally, intermediate wrestlers will need to obtain a USA wrestling limited folkstyle membership ~$20. If you think you may be interested, please see one of the coaches at practice.
