For beginners to intermediate level wrestlers. Instruction is basic to intermediate with an emphasis on technique, conditioning, discipline and skill building in a fun, physical environment. The program is semi-competitive and is open to boys and girls ages 6 to 12 years old. If your child is 13 or 14 years old and has never wrestled before there may be opportunities to join the program. Please email if interested: wrestling@OBGC.com

New this year we will be giving intermediate wrestlers opportunities to compete in a variety of additional opportunities. Please see further information below.

Practices will be held weekdays at Sherwood High School.

If your child is interested in participating in wrestling, but does not want to compete in competitions, let us know and we will work with you. Contact the Wrestling Commissioner at wrestling@OBGC.com

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
