The first and most important focus of the UWA is to build wrestlers of strong character on and off the mat! What you do when no one is looking matters and we will put a heavy focus on this concept.

I believe there are three aspects of this sport that all wrestlers must understand and be able to implement if they want to be the best they can be:

Wrestle Hard - Our program will focus on helping wrestlers maintain a high level of physical conditioning year round. Wrestlers will learn to use their conditioning as an advantage by competing with courage and wrestling to win positions and to score points. Our focus will be on the process, not the outcome!

Wrestle Smart - Our program will focus on wrestling technique and strategies that work against all competition levels. The UWA has a proven system that has produced champions at all levels. Because of our attention to detail and a process focused system, wrestlers will learn to use proper technique and strategies with confidence.

Have Fun - Wrestling is hard and it takes a tremendous amount of proper training to be successful. We have found that when wrestlers focus on the process of getting better each day and do not worry about wins and losses, they don't just like wrestling, they love it and have fun training! We will teach our wrestlers to focus on the process and daily improvement instead of the outcome of a wrestling match.

We will also utilize our Facebook, Instagram, and X to keep you informed with announcements, schedule changes, and upcoming events. Those pages will be posted on the homepage of our website.

Wrestlers should be ready for practice at the scheduled start time. Shoes on and sitting on/in front of the bench until you are asked to get on the mat. Wrestlers should remain quiet if they arrive early and not disrupt ongoing practice.

Restroom Use -

Use the restroom before practice. One person at a time. Boys, lift the seat up before you go and put it down when you are done. All, wash your hands when you are done. When you come out, wash your shoes in the blue tub containing disinfectant and dry them off. You will only be allowed to go to the bathroom during practice with coaches approval.

Wrestling can expose athletes to contagious skin ailments like ringworm, impetigo, or molluscum contagiosum. To help prevent the spread:

• Hygiene:

  • Always wear clean practice attire

  • Use antibacterial wipes after every practice

  • Shower as soon as possible with antibacterial soap

• If Affected:

  • Seek medical treatment immediately - Should be able to go to your family doctor.

  • Inform the coach of any skin issues

  • Skin ailments must be covered by clothing or pre-wrap and athletic tape before practice. If it can’t be covered, the wrestler can’t practice.

  • Coach may decide an athlete is not allowed to practice to prevent spreading the ailment

• There is not enough seating for all parents

• Allows wrestlers to remain focused and learn to work through adversity on their own.

• Drop-Off: Parents need to walk their wrestler into the building and make sure they can get their wrestling shoes on. Once they are ready for practice, parents will need to leave the building.

• Pick Up: Parents must be present when practice ends to meet their athlete. Athletes will not be allowed to leave on their own.

• Early Departure: If your athlete needs to leave early, inform the coach before practice begins.

Ensure your athlete leaves with all items brought into the facility.
