Wrestling Equipment

Each wrestler is responsible for obtaining wrestling shoes and headgear. No street shoes are allowed in the wrestling room or on wrestling mats. Wrestling shoes and headgear may be purchased at local sporting goods stores, online or through mail order catalogs. Wrestlers with braces will need mouthguards.
Practices
All wrestlers should come to practice in appropriate practice clothing (athletic shorts and tight-fitting t-shirt), including headgear and wrestling shoes.
Practices will begin on Wednesday November 15 and will be held weekly on Monday & Wednesday at Sherwood High School. Practices last 2 hours from 6 – 8 p.m. Every effort will be made to ensure kids are matched up by weight/level for practices.
Duals/Tournaments
The Outlaws team will participate in the Damascus League from Early December to mid February. Dual meets are held on Saturdays at Baker Middle School. There will be opportunities for novice and intermediate wrestlers looking for a challenge to compete in additional tournaments and competition outside of the Damascus League. More information and opportunities will be shared as available.
Volunteers – Our program operates only through the generosity of our volunteers. Please consider volunteering. We are looking for scorekeepers, timekeepers and coaches. Coach’s clinics will be offered during the season. If you are interested in these clinics, please reach out to the Wrestling Commissioner at wrestling@obgc.com.
