VOLUNTEERING

Pine-Richland Junior Wrestling is a fully volunteer organization.  In order to have a successful wrestling season, it will take effort from every family.  Each family is required to fulfill minimal volunteer duties per wrestler for the wrestling season. 

PRACTICE

First day of practice: Monday, November 6th, 2017 (the season runs until February 28th)      

Days: Monday and Wednesday

Time: 6:00 - 8:00 PM

Location: Pine-Richland High School Green Gym (near the pool)

WHAT TO EXPECT AT PRACTICE

The wrestlers will be divided into two groups.  One group will have first year wrestlers and the other group will have kids with more than one year of experience.  However, at some practices the team will drill together.  The first year wrestlers will learn the basics of a match and essential techniques/skills (starting stance, takedowns, & pins) to compete.  The experienced wrestlers will learn advanced wrestling techniques. All wrestlers will participate in games to sharpen skills and live wrestling.  During practices, the wrestlers are paired with kids that are about the same size and skill level.

WEIGH-INS

Wrestlers are weighed at the beginning of the season so that each wrestler is appropriately paired during practice and dual matches.  They are only weighed again if they are competing at a tournament; it is for their own safety. 

UNIFORMS

All wrestlers will receive a personalized shirt and shorts. PRJW will provide a P-R Wrestling singlet to be used for the wrestling season and returned. Parents are responsible for providing headgear and wrestling shoes.  It is important that each wrestler wears their shirt & shorts at the matches when they are not wrestling.  This helps the runners quickly find your child before their match.

WEEKDAY DUAL MATCHES

PRJW is part of the North Hills Wrestling League.  The league also includes Hampton, North Allegheny, Shaler, Mars, Fox Chapel, Avonworth and North Hills.  Your child will compete within the league during the wrestling season.

WEEKEND TOURNAMENTS

Your child will also have an opportunity to compete in tournaments (not required) throughout the wrestling season.  We encourage wrestlers to compete in the North Hills Wrestling League Road Warrior Tournaments. For the R.W. tournaments, wrestlers can earn points as an individual and for the P-R Team when they place.  At the Year End League Tournament the wrestlers/teams with high point values will be recognized.

PRJW MISSION STATEMENT

The objective of PRJW will be to coordinate, instruct, and condition participants in grades K-6 mentally and physically, while instilling ideals of good sportsmanship with an emphasis on fun and team camaraderie.

This objective will be achieved through coaches and parents working together to provide instructional and competitive practices, positive feedback, and organized league matches.  The association will bear in mind that the attainment of exceptional athletic skills or the winning of matches and tournaments is secondary to the primary goal of instruction and development of youth wrestlers of all abilities, novice and experienced.
