- Teaching the fundamentals of wrestling in a safe learning atomosphere is the primary responsibility of the coach of the Salina Kids Wrestling Club.
- There is ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING OR CHEWING OF TOBACCO, OR ALCOHOL PERMITTED ON SCHOOL GROUNDS. The failure of parents to comply with this rule could cost the wrestling club the use of the practice room at South High.
- Parents are welcomed to attend practice. However, parents are asked to refrain from hollering or coaching the wrestlers during practice.
- Parents are responsible for siblings or wrestlers attending practice. The siblings are expected to stay in the wrestling room. They are not to leave the wrestling room or disrupt practice.
- Wrestlers that are not listening, participating, or disrupting practice will be sent home or asked to sit in the hallway outside the practice room until their parents come to pick them up.
- Good sportsmanship is to be shown at all times. The coaches will not tolerate temper tantrums, bad language, etc. by any wrestler of the club. If a wrestler displays this kind of behavior, they may be disqualified from the next tournament they are signed up to attend.
- Hair and fingernails are to be kept short and clean. No jewelery is allowed during wrestling also. This is for the protection of all wrestlers involved in the sport.
- The Salina Kids Wrestling Club will travel as a team to the same tournaments. A caravan will be formed the morning of the tournament for parents wishing to travel as part of the club. The information of where the caravan will meet, and what time we will depart Salina is usually given at practice the Thursday before the tournament. You can also check the calender on the main page and we will try to keep it updated with the information.
- Coaching or cheering will not be allowed matside when two Salina Kids wrestlers are wrestling against each other in a tournament. If a parent wants to cheer for their kid, they will need to stay in the stands during the match to do so.
- Parents are asked to remain in the stands while their child is wrestling in a tournament. This is for the safety of the wrestlers, to avoid congestion at matside, and allow all attendees to watch the participants.
- Salina Kids Wrestling Club parents and wrestlers are encouraged to sit together at tournaments.
- Wrestling singlets will be issued to each wrestler at the beginning of the season. A $50 desposit is required to check out the singlet. This can be a post-dated check, and it will not be desposited unless the singlet is not returned by May. SKWC singlets are only to be worn at tournaments. They are not to be worn at practice or for play at home.
- A SKWC singlet is to be worn during tournaments by all members of the Salina Kids Wrestling Club.
- Tournament sign-up sheets are to be completed two weeks prior to the tournament along with the payment of the applicable tournament fee. If a wrestler is signed up for a tournament and is then unable to attend the tournament, the parent/guardian is still responsible for the tournament entry fee.
- Parents are expected to help out with the Kanasas Tournament of Champions, the club sponsored wrestling tournament. Tournament help includes Friday night setup and weigh-in, Saturday morning weigh-in, working tables during the tournament, and Saturday night tear-down of the tournament.
- If there is a returned check, any charges incurred by the club will be charged to you. Also, at that point you will be required to pay cash for any future tournaments.
- Parents will be asked to help work tables at few other tournaments. This allows us to get additional workers for our tournament from other teams, as well as helps prepare you to work our tournament.
Salina has an excellent wrestling club because of the enthusiasm of our coaches and the cooperation of our parents. All of the wrestlers are important to the club regardless of their wrestling ability and whether they win or lose. The success of the club depends on encouraging our youth to always try and do their best. We need everyone’s help to keep Salina’s Wrestling Team #1!
