      WRESTLERETTE SPONSOR AND STAFF

      Keeping Score, Time, and Wrestlers in Line!

      The Harrison Wrestlerettes are the backbone of the wrestling program. In addition to being the official score keepers for the wrestling team, our Wrestlerettes keep and maintain stats on every wrestler in the program, video matches for use by the coaches and the wrestlers, and track and inventory equipment and uniforms. Our Wrestlerettes travel with the team to local and out of state tournaments, and set up and organize all home tournaments and matches to make sure everything runs smoothly.

      ​

      Along with all of their hard work keeping score, time, and wrestlers in line, the Harrison Wrestlerettes generate an amazing amount of enthusiasm and team spirit by creating the posters, bulletin boards, and banners seen throughout the school.

       

      If you are interested in becoming a Wrestlerette, please email Kelli Connors, Program sponsor.

      (Ages K - 8th)

       

      Harrison Junior Wrestling Frequently Asked Questions

       

      When does the season start and end?

      Our season starts Tuesday, November 2 and will conclude Saturday, February 19. There will be an optional week from February 21-27 for those wrestlers wishing to participate in the Kids State Tournament.

       

      When and where are practices held?

      Practices are held in the Harrison High School wrestling room on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30-8:00pm.

       

      Do I have to buy a USA Wrestling card for my athlete?

      Yes, this gives them the ability to wrestle in weekend tournaments throughout the year. This can be purchased at www.usawmembership.com.

       

      What should my child wear to the first practice? Do we need any special equipment for wrestling?

      Wrestlers should wear a t-shirt with athletic shorts. If you can not purchase wrestling shoes before the first practice just let them wear an old pair of socks to wrestle in. Wrestlers can not wrestle in street shoes.

      You can purchase wrestling shoes at Academy Sports or online at Amazon.com. We do have some used shoes from previous years that your child can have until you get the chance to get some (only certain sizes available). You can also purchase a headgear for competitions on Amazon. Wrestlers do not need to buy a wrestling singlet as we will have a Top Dog singlet for them to use this year for competitions.

       

      Will I be able to attend practice?

      Absolutely. We encourage our parents to attend practice and observe your children as they learn the sport. It will also help you pick up the rules of the sport if you have no previous experience with wrestling.

       

      Will there be any breaks in practice over the holiday breaks?

      We will take a Thanksgiving Break over November 22-28 and a Holiday Break from December 20 – January 2. We will not have practices or competitions during those periods.

       

      My child plays another sport and will not be able to start the season on November 2. Is that okay and will this miss too much in the first couple of weeks?

      That is not a problem. We will have review sessions for wrestlers who join late and will also be posting technique videos on our Facebook page for them to review.
