PART 1 ORGANIZATION

Blue Slips

Blue Slips are provided by the athletic office. They are given to those individuals who have signed up for wrestling, and have turned in their birth certificate, note of insurance and parental permission form. NO WRESTLER MAY BEGIN THE SEASON WITHOUT THIS SLIP.

Body Fat Testing

At the beginning of each season, each wrestler must submit a urine test, to determine if he is hydrated. After testing for hydration, the athlete will weigh-in, and then be tested behind the scapula, behind the tricep, and around the stomach, to determine lean body mass. This information will be turned over to the IHSA, and they will determine the lowest weight class that an individual could wrestle. Each wrestler will be allowed to wrestle at whatever his weight is, or is allowed to drop to 7 % body fat. EVERY WRESTLER MUST COMPLETE THIS TEST, AND RECEIVE DOCUMENTATION FROM THE IHSA IN ORDER TO BE ELLIGIBLE TO WRESTLE.

Weigh ins

Each wrestler will weigh in prior to practice. By recording his weight attendance is taken.

Long Tee Shirts

Each wrestler will be issued a practice long sleeve t-shirt. This is to be worn every practice, or a comparable long sleeve t-shirt.

Kenshield

After weighing in each athlete is required to put on Kenshield on any body part that has exposed flesh.

Mopping Mats

It is the responsibility of team members to insure all mats are mopped prior to practice.

Headgear Issue

The NCHS Wrestling team will issue headgear to anyone that does not have their own headgear. Athletes must wear headgear throughout the practice each day.

Showers

Showers are required after each and every practice. Therefore, each wrestler must bring his own towel from home each day.

Headwear

Each athlete is required to wear a head covering (ball cap or stocking cap) at the conclusion of practice.
