Wrestling is an individual sport, but with the Wizards we try to keep the group together as a team as much as possible with everything we do. Wrestling as a team, in a team atmosphere, has helped our club thrive and has led to numerous team and individual awards. We are able to achieve this due to the fact we have been blessed with great family's. Some of the ways we have found to promote this process are by doing the best we can to sit together at tournaments, staying together as a team when we go out of town, and cheering together for all Wizards win or lose. This is also supported by us all wearing Wizard wear and our team colors at tournaments. When Wizard wrestlers are competing at tournaments it is also suggested that we wear team singlets and team jackets to show our team spirit and unity.
