Volunteers Needed!

Parents will be asked to help out to ensure a smooth running program!

1. Carpooling. Carpools are parents responsibility - insurance and driver info (Parent responsibility)

2. Creekside Tournament volunteers - Selling tickets, running concessions, helping with the tournament, extra coaching

Hygiene

Students should:

• Show up to practice in clean clothing!

• Shower immediately after practice (use soap! and scrub!)

• Launder workout clothes after each use

• Keep Nails Trimmed! (keep your wrestling partner safe & nails are checked at tournaments)

• Wash sheets and pillows often (weekly!)

Skin infections like ringworm, impetigo, and other rashes are typical in this sport.

Check your kids for any rash-like symptoms, and talk to them about rash awareness.
If you discover a rash - go to the doctor!  Treat it immediately and skip practice until the rash is gone.
