Shakopee Wrestling Philosophy
The Shakopee Wrestling program focuses on
the positive development of the
student/wrestler physically, mentally and
socially. In being part of a team committed to
achieving group goals, the student/wrestler will
increase cooperative and sportsmanlike social
skills. While focusing on team goals, as well as
personal goals, discipline and dedication to
wrestling, the student/wrestler will develop traits
that will help him/her be successful in life.

Weight Certification –Monday, Nov. 24th
Wt. Certification is for anyone that is going to wrestle
varsity or jr. varsity. Generally, all 9th -12th graders
and 7-8th graders that would be joining the high
school team.
About a week after the beginning of
the season a weight certification process under the
supervision of a physician is required. This is done
to assure that the health of the wrestler is not
jeopardized by excessive weight reduction. The High
School League will not allow wrestlers to wrestle with
a body fat of less than 7%. The weight certification
form will be sent home for the parents’ approval and
signature and returned to the wrestling coach the
following day to be filed with the Minnesota State
High School League.
ALL wrestlers must have this form signed before they
can compete.
This form
must be
returned!

High School Wrestling Practice
Practice will start at 3:20 sharp
for all wrestlers. Wrestlers must
be dressed, in the wrestling room,
and ready to practice by 3:20.
Tardiness will be considered an
unexcused absence.
Attendance:
We expect every wrestler to attend every practice
session. If the wrestler is unable to participate in
the practice for any reason he is still expected to
come to practice dressed. Injured wrestlers will be
required to complete a workout regimen designed
to keep them in condition, but not worsen the
injury.
Absences
If the wrestler is absent he must
bring a note or email message from
a parent explaining the absence.
If possible, let me know about
absences before they occur.
Showers/Hygiene
In an attempt to prevent skin
conditions we will:
-Clean the mats daily.
-Shower after every practice and
competition.
-Have a clean towel and practice
clothes daily.
Showers/Hygiene
Sport’s Hygiene
Hygienic guidelines that will help reduce being
sidelined:
-Shower after practice/competition
-Don’t perform cosmetic shaving

-Properly cover all abrasions and open sores

Varsity, Jr. Varsity, Exhibition
level of competitions
Wrestle-off Procedure
Wrestle-offs are wrestling matches
during practice that may determine who
will represent SHS at a competition at
each weight class.
Wrestle Offs
Any wrestler on the high school
team may wrestle-off for a position
on the Varsity or Jr. Varsity team.
Wrestle off weigh-ins
Prior to practice start time
Any wrestler who wishes to wrestle-off
for a position on the Varsity or Jr.
Varsity Squad must weigh within two
pounds of the weight class being
wrestled-off for.
No exceptions! You must make weight.
Wrestle-off dates
Wrestle-off schedule will be determined by
the competition schedule of the team.
Most wrestle-offs will occur once a week-
the day before our first competition of that
week.
Established Wrestlers
Wrestlers may become “established” if
they have an exceptional record
against good competition and wrestle
offs have been very lopsided in their
favor. These wrestlers may be exempt
from wrestle offs to save practice time
and avoid injury to other wrestlers.
Beating out a varsity wrestler
By February we usually have a pretty
established varsity team.
Positions on the Section Individual
Team will be determined by a three
match wrestle-off series. The challenger
must win the first wrestle off to continue
on.
Changing the Lineup
The coach reserves the right to change
the line-up of any team at any time.
*The good of the team will always come
before the good an any individual
