What Wrestlers Need to Know for Events. 

There will be various tournaments being offered throughout the season for wrestlers. Members of the Don Valley Wrestling Teams who attend practices regularly will be invited to participate.

Each wrestler must be prepared for each tournament that they are attending. You will often be meeting at a school early in the morning at a specified time, so preparation is important.

Your gym bag should be packed the evening before the tournament. You should have the attire, either shorts or singlet, packed. Remember that your shoe should not be the same shoes as your street shoes.

Your water bottles should be filled with water, not juices or sports drinks, and packed.

You should pack a light lunch that that can be easily eaten in small amounts throughout the day. You should not eat a large amount of food in a short time if you are going to wrestle. You might, at time, include your breakfast if there is a chance that you must have your weight checked.

You should bring soap and two towels. One towel is for the shower and the other is to dry off between wrestling rounds. This towel should be different from the shower towel.

If you require any tape for your joints or shoes, you should bring your own. Your coach will have first aid supplies but you should be prepared for any taping that you specifically require.

Some tournaments have wrestling equipment for sale. You may bring some cash as required for any purchases that you want.

Remember that you are responsible for your own valuables.
